Why not Chattanooga??

    As a current resident of Chatt, I totally agree. Chattanooga is so central to a lot of cities that it does make sense to have an NSD celebration here but we really are 4th on the list on these things. You gotta hit Nashville and Memphis, and you can't not have one in Knoxville, and you really can't have more than 3. It's just not possible. As for then being orange clad down here, I kinda have to disagree. Chattanooga is very diverse, culturally, so you've also got plenty of Bama, Georgia, Florida and auburn fans as well as Tennessee fans.

    I graduated from High School in the ATL, but my Aunt and Uncle lived in Ooltewah. The Chattanooga Press would always cover UTC, UT, UGA and Bama. It's a melting pot of fans. Up here, it's Virginia Tech or Tennessee.
