You have no idea how disrespectful they are to Vandy fans. It’s more than just winning and losing. It’s class warfare to them.


Most fans have never seen a Vandy fan who isn’t a relative of the coaching staff or a player.

Their fans are assholes. Easy reason to dislike them.

They were the most hated fanbase of the ‘80s and ‘90s… but then they basically ceased being relevant in almost all sports.

I don’t hate them like I used to. But when I watch them on days like today, I remember why I disliked them so much.

That's getting there. They aren't unsuccessful but they aren't royalty. Nor is Tennessee understood to be...educated. But what do we call this?

I don’t have a dog in this fight. But in the top of the 9 the home plate umpire has become a Tennessee fan. Will not call a strike

Because everything about them is pure fricking trash.

We all have our issues as fanbases but Tenn is on another planet when it comes to being straight dogshit as a whole.

It’s just this board’s opinion of them and a few bad posters. Living here the people are great, the fans are fine. It’s no different than any other fan base. Personally I find myself more embarrassed for my home state more than anything that happens in East Tennessee.

I was on a work trip in Miami for the 2022 LSU-UTk football game, so I gave my tickets to my little brother (quite a bit younger than me) who was a current student at LSU. After the game he called me and said something along the lines of “when did Tennessee fans become so damn obnoxious?” I said “they’ve always been that obnoxious, they just didn’t have the internet to broadcast it to the world last time they were relevant.”

Of course, because Tennersee fans are known to be the epitome of class.

Because you can't post on the internet and watch baseball at the same time? That's probably most of tRant at this very moment. We're trying to figure out how to describe why Tennessee is terrible. Keep up.

This is almost there. It doesn't quite capture the "had some success years ago but none in recent history"

Their fans on here are God awful. I don’t know if that’s Serraneaux and his 10 alters. Purely unreadable
