This thread is useful, if for nothing else, I've found another Vol in the STL.

When I started on all these boards back in the day, I was living in NYC. Since then I've been in Atl for a year, Chicago for 4 years and now going on my 5th year in Nashville....and hopefully Nashville will be my last stop.
As for the job, it's not like it's brain surgery....oh wait, it is.

I live in New Jersey and sell pmi insurance to credit unions. 1986 UTK Alum. My father brother and sister all went to UT and my daughter is now finishing her "first" senior year at UT. Up until about a month ago my sales territory was from New Jersey to Tennessee. Company territory restructure just took away KY and TN and gave me NY. Good opportunity career wise, but not something I'm happy about. My best accounts have always been in Tennessee and I'm giving up a lot of good, long term relationships. Probably more importantly, I've been a season ticket holder for ten years and this is gonna make getting to the games much more difficult.

One of the worst things about living in Alaska (other than the noon games starting at 8am local time) is the fact that there are so many PAC 10/USC/Raider fans up here. I honestly believe that the majority of people here think the world ends at the Rocky Mountains. People complain about how many Bama/Auburn fans there are in Tennessee, but that's probably half as many as there are USC fans here.
I also find it interesting that several people have discussed plans toove back to Tennessee or closer to Tennessee in the near future. Guess there is truly no place like home!!

Hey everyone, i'm probably the only volunteer fan on here from Canada. I live about an hour outside of Vancouver, B.C. in a city called Abbotsford (roughly 130,000 people). Now you are all probably wondering how i heard about the Volunteers and why the heck would i cheer for them, and does anyone in Canada even care about college football? Well, pretty much no one does care about college football in Canada but there in few rare ones amongst us here in Canada. Anyways my love for football and the volunteers for that fact started when my sister married a guy from Jackson, Tennessee. It turns out he hated the Vols with passion and loved Memphis, but me on the otherhand i fell in love with the burnt orange. And after the first time i came down south to visit i saw the fever down south for college football, and long story short i thought it was awesome and i just made the Vols my team and since then and i've been a faithful follower. But anyways, back to topic of the thread, i just thought i would give a side note, I'm 22 and build custom homes (carpenter by trade). I wish i could say vol for life but i'm only a fan. Go vols
