Ive been coming to this board since probably the early 2000. First and foremost as a hunter, sportsman and the like as most of the people on this board.I see you edited out the rest of my post where I clearly addressed that point. Word games aside, it's a serious question. You say Tennessee fans drive you crazy, yet you come to a forum on a Tennessee board knowing the vast majority of people are Tennessee fans. I have no interest in going to a forum full of Kentucky fans and pounding my chest telling them how great Tennessee is, how we've beat them 36 out of the last 40 years, how many days it's been since the last win, etc. I'm genuinely curious what makes grown men (I'm assuming) that are alabama fans want to hang out on a majority Tennessee sports board if the fans drive them crazy. Does it deliver some sense of superiority? Are there really no alabama sports forums? I've never looked, but I'm assuming there are.
Came into the Sports Forum one day and it was consumed with people saying this was a tn board and you had to be a vols fan to post here. It was full of bullying. Being a ALABAMA fan that somehow did not sit right with me. So here we are.
When yall mention you cannot understand why someone from tn that won't support your home state football team. Who came up with that stupid idea? I mean who decides on what college they go to based on the state they live in? I can understand in some cases where being close to home can be a consideration for budgets, scholarships and what not but academics and curriculum and field of interest also come into play when selecting a college. So why would you select a football team based on the fact you just happen to live in the state you live in? Its like being a Green Bay Packers fan all your life then the tn titans come to town then suddenly you are a tn titans fan. Don't know about your sense of loyalty but mine do not end at a state line. My dad was taking me to ALABAMA football games when I was just a small child and I have been a ALABAMA football fan for life. State lines , where I was born had nothing to do with it. And It aint gonna change now. Hope that answers your question.
