re: Are Vols fans always like this when their team reaches .500?

Well that may explain why I like you better than most of the Mizzou Rant posters.


I get your point tho as childhood teams are hard to overcome and it is cool you kept that as a part of you. If Vanderbilt had my major back when dinosaurs roamed the earth it would have been my first choice for college. My grade school sweetheart went there as did family and friends. The one thing I like is the timeless of the 3 primary sports venues and their close proximity. It is totally old school in an age of massive venues and corporate mentality. It is creeping into Vanderbilt, but thankfully at a slow pace. Not sure what years you went there but Memorial is like a throwback to the 60's and 70's when Stokley was still the home of the Vols. Lots of memorable games.

So separating Vanderbilt from the city, did you not enjoy the city of Nashville itself?

ps, I did appreciate your post on the orphan sports and your point of view and explanation. I may not agree, but at least now understand your thinking.
