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

Yeah Nashville as a city was a big part of what drew me there no doubt. Was there during the late 90s. I did like Memorial Gymnasium games in particular, terrific set up. Kentucky-Vandy was always a great basketball game to see in person.

And of course, that was the Tennessee Peyton Manning era, when our own damn stadium would become 95% orange for the "rivalry" game and......well, and here I am years later talking shite at Vol fans in a thread. Hmmm.
