I'm from the Pacific Northwest, but married into a Southern family and was there this weekend. There's nothing else that compares to wearing orange in a bar in Knoxville on a Saturday!!
As an Auburn fan. ;-)
I guess it could be worse -- I could be a Bama fan.
That would actually be worse regardless of the Tennessee scenario.
Originally posted by WulebgrI live in Kentucky but just a few miles from the Tennessee line. What is so amazing to me is that it is like Louisville does not even exist even though they are ranked 5th or 6th in the country. Alabama fans are just about as bad as Tennessee fans.
It would not surprise me to know that folks in and near Auburn, Alabama practice a religion quite comparable to, but opposed to the dominant religion in East Tennessee.

Hasn't stopped them, obviously.
Originally posted by WulebgrThe dismal end of Kentucky football means the blessed arrival of Kentucky basketball. But where I live , Louisville doesn't exists. They never forgave Pitino for leaving and then, and then going to Louisville! The gall!
They usually pay attention to basketball, don't they.

Ok, I took the troll bait you sent out, what is on your mind today besides starting up an old war. The other one not popular enough for you today?
Originally posted by PocketKingsWell, excuse me, Mr. teacher! Looks like I struck a nerve and made you change your avatar...damn, I'm powerful! I never was "under it" in order to "get over it", moron. I bet your students think you're a 'geek'. Yeah, the first battles were confusing due to the similarities in flags, but many a dumbass 'yank' died for said reason. I'm not bitter; I'm proud of my heritage. What are you proud of? I agree with you on the matter of the south leavining the Union, but when hoards of "mongrels" start advancing on one's homeland, one has no choice but to defend his home and hearth. We almost won, too. THAT, my History professor, is enough to make you hold your head in shame; the fact that a starving, barefooted, rag-tag army almost beat the mighty Union. That says a lot about the wimpy yanks compared to the pride-driven rebels. You don't need a "break"; you need a slap in the face with a good History lesson.....
Like I said, get over it. I'm a history teacher dumba$$. If you really need to know what a confederate navy jack looks like try americancivilwar.com and go to Flags of the Confederacy. You guys were even to stupid to make your own flag, your first flag looks so much like our flag that it caused mass confusion on the battlefield.
It is very obvious fro ...[text shortened]... ldn't have tried to leave the union, tsk,tsk,tsk. Second war of independence, give me a break.
