Being from Southern California makes you more of an expert on Tennessee demographics and trends than me, a Tennessee native. You been watching the Hillary spin machine too much.
The majority of UT students are factually from East Tennessee. Yes, there are a lot of students from the other parts of the State. But the majority still comes from East Tennessee. And as a native of Nashville, I know very well where the transient students are going and it ain't Knoxville. Belmont, Lipscomb, Trevecca, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn are the choices of our new and exploding population. Vandy would be on their list too but Vandy's push to diversify their enrollment prohibits that from occurring.
The only reason UT holds the upper hand in the football series is a matter of choice. If Vandy ever decided to relax academic standards to that of UT, Vandy would rule this State in Football.

Didn't James Franklin do this already?

I've spent half of my life in CA and the other half in TN. I'd like to think that gives me a pretty holistic perspective on things compared to someone whose lived in 1 spot their entire life. Even more so dealing with young people and culture. How old are you by the way?

More bull shite. It's cute how you speak in absolutes for the people that you surround yourself with and then try and bring it here as the opinion of all of young Nashville. I've met so many UT kids and close friends/alums from Green Hills, Berry Hill, Sylvan park, Oak Hills, Nolensville, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, La Vergne, Smyrna, Hendersonville, Franklin, etc, etc, etc, it's not even worth naming. Many of which came from parents that aren't from TN. Again, you're full of shite.
Even then, the stable and non-transient population of middle Tennessee is huge. Many of those families in the areas named above having old and deep ties to yours truly. Nashville is one of our greatest assets in the state and has always had a lot of love for UT. Do a better job of coping with it.

You have the best city in the state and definitely the best city with in the SEC cities/towns as a selling point and you still can't beat out the Appalachia State's, UAB's, and USF's of the world. Go take a lap.

You jumped the shark with this statement, friend.
I'm glad you're pumped about all those new yankee kids in your fair city, but UTK is still the premier school in state school and most likely always will be. I just hope someday that I can make it out of this hillbilly shite fest and end up somewhere cool. :(

From an unbiased perspective in this argument, it is comical that you would make such a claim. Hell Sewanee was in the SEC at one point.

Stanford, Duke, USC, Miami, Notre Dame, TCU, Baylor...these private schools maintain academic excellence and still are doing better than UT in football. So, what is it that Vandy is being held to that they aren't?
