Today is a big day for the UK basketball program as the Cats have the opportunity to get a HUGE win on the road, take a leg up in the SEC race and re-establish their dominance over the Fighting Bruce Pearls from down Knoxville way. For the Cats, tonight finds an opportunity that they will not often see this year….a chance to beat a good team on the road, with a national audience watching on. If you look at Kentucky’s remaining schedule, such “season-defining” win opportunities are really few and far between. The Cats will play at Arkansas and Florida, but neither of those teams has the firepower of the Vols this year. So with the second game of the conference season, the Cats have their best chance to get a significant road win this year. That makes the game a big deal.
It is also a big deal in the continued quest to define just how good this Kentucky team actually is. There are times that I watch the Cats play and I think they are a Top 25 team with a chance to be sneaky and make some noise. Then there are times that I watch and I wonder if the team is an NCAA Tournament team and how the Cats can squander the talents of two bonafide All Americans in such a pain-inducing way. And sometimes I feel both in the same game. Overall I lean towards the former view and believe Kentucky has the ability to surprise people and have a great conference season and a potential at postseason success. But tonight’s game will give us another hint…..the Louisville game showed UK can put together a quality game against a good opponent….Tennessee will tell us if they can do it consistently.
As for the Vols, the Big Orange are not the same team they were last year. Most point to Chris Lofton’s loss and he is important, but I think the loss of the Smith boys may be even more crucial. Ramar and Jajuan (sp?) Smith both hit big shots and gave a degree of patience to a team that all-to-often plays helter skelter and without control. Tyler Smith has proven to be a superb talent, but the Vols have seen other folks not reach their potential. And if you had told me that Scotty Hopson would be sitting during crunch time for most games, I would have told you that you were nuts. But as it is now, he is an afterthough. Similarly, Bobby Maze, who most would have predicted would be a big time bust who could ruin team chemistry, has often carried this team from a leadership standpoint and has exceeded all expectations. Put simply, this Vol team is almost impossible to figure out.
But while the game is thus one of extreme importance and Tennessee comes into the game vulnerable, none of that should take us away from the central fact…..we truly hate Tennessee. On this blog, UT is right there with Louisville as Enemy #1 and for me personally, it is the top choice. Live in a town like Middlesboro, close to the Tennessee border and try to stomach the sight of Orange….it is impossible. Thus for me, games like this are all about bringing back memories of Vol dislikes of the past and creating new memories of Vol players and fans to dislike for the future.
That is why today is a special WE HATE TENNESSEE DAY ON KENTUCKY SPORTS RADIO. Currently this blog has 13 writers that contribute on UK in some form. Today, ALL of them will post something making fun of, blasting, mocking or simply hating on the Tennessse Vols. I must say that I cant wait and the schedule for the postings are below. Every 30 minutes or so, another post comes up, with a common theme: We hate Tennessee.
9:30: HUNTER CAMPBELL
10:15: BRYAN THE INTERN
10:45: MATT JONES
11:30: TOMLIN
12:15: INTERN
12:45: BOBBY PERRY
1:15: EVAN HILBERT
2:00: TURKEY HUNTER
2:30: ROB GIDEL
3:00: BEISNER
3:45: BOMANI JONES
4:30: MOSLEY
5:45: FAKE GIMEL
Now that is quite a lineup….from a former UK player who will tell you how much he hates the Big Orange to a former ESPN writer who isnt even a UK fan, but hates the Volunteer state to the Turkey Hunter who will surely be mean. Part of the reason I love doing this blog is because we can do things like this…..pure, unadulterated mocking and childish taunting. Jerry Tipton, Rick Bozich and John Clay may do it to each other privately, but it never spills onto the pages. Here we make it a special day. If ever there was a day to hit refresh on Kentucky Sports Radio, it is today. So sit back and enjoy and use the comments on the posts to reflect all your reasons for hating the Vols. And to get us started, a video that sums it all up nicely:

Low down dirty snitches. That about says it all. Good job Bama Man. My hate list is as follows: Loserville, Tenn, Florida, Loserville, Loserville, then Loserville, and then Tennessee again.
How bout Loserville going to Will Scott for the game winner. Ricky is a great in game coach huh? Hate those queers.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
I hate they colors and I aint a dog person either. Is they throw up orange b/c I don’t like punpkins. They ain’t Kentucky and I hate um.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Ole Pat Summit probably makes Bruce the woman. lol
January 12th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Did I really leave Duke and Carolina off my list. I’d list Duke right behind Florida on my hate list. Laettner would have to be #1 on the hate person list.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
4. I hate Tennessee far more than Loserville - not even close. It not rational - not supposed to be. Born with it. Had a cousin who chose to play football they and I have talked to him since. We disowned him. Such is life - good choices (UK) and very, very bad ones (UT). Play you pay.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I live close to Loserville and I get that crap all the time. Tenn is definitely a close 2nd.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
It amazes me how many HS athletes want to wear that ugly orange.
It is UGLY
January 12th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I think this is very immature.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
The Pic of Pearl just vanished.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Is that a picture of macon’s birthplace behind the inmate? The bed of the 1979 pick-up truck?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Too bad Vol Fan. Listen to Bama Man. Your colors…..they is ugly.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:11 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I know Macon. I’ve seen the pics of you trying to pick up fat chicks at the SEC tourney.

other guy - 2
January 12th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
It kind of looks like former Tennessee coach Buzz Peterson. lol
January 12th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
So, Volfan, are you courageous, oblivious, or masochistic?
Don’t go posting this on the vol sites (frequented by the dozen literate Tennesseeans) as that would prove you to be a snitch.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
If you go to yahoo, click on images and type in Tennessee basketball, the
first 3 pages are all photos of the women’s basketball team, then it starts
with a few from the men’s team, LOL
January 12th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
does it make me a traitor if i admit that louisville looked pretty damn good tonight?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Hey Macon, Coach has a V pointing down where he wants you to look.
Kidding man.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I’ll probably stay off the blog tomorrow, simply because I don’t want to be attacked personally, which will inevitably happen. Still, I look forward to the game, as I have my entire life. As a UT fan who actually likes basketball more than football (it comes from my dad), the UK game has always been a special one. My parents are from Campbell Co, on the TN/KY border. Many folk there cheered for the Orange during football season, and for Big Blue during basketball season. I know that makes you all as sick as it makes me. I remember going to UT/UK games at Stokley with my dad, watching Don DeVoe win a few and lose a few more. I remember going nuts after watching the Allan Houston put back, staring in disbelief at the 41 point SEC Tourney loss later that season, and the incredible Blizzard of 1992 that followed the next day. I sang Rocky Top from Rupp down Broadway back to Transy after the ugly UT win in 1999, and sang it again driving up I-75 after the Vols completed the sweep in Knoxville.
Yes, the UT/UK basketball game is indeed a special one, made even more special to me because so many of my good friends from college cheer for the Cayts. Win or lose, I’ll enjoy the game, because when it boils right down to it, the game is what matters.
Also, you’ll not see me brag if UT wins, or make excuses if they lose. It’s not like I play, it’s just a game. We would all do well to remind ourselves of that fact.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
23. They low down dirty snitches too.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
#23 at the end of regualtion before overtime did you think the UL player
fouled a ND player before the ball went into the back court?
They refs ended calling a backcourt on ND but do you think LH even touced the ball?
and if he didn’t, didn’t Williams walk before he dunk it?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
One of my favorite vids, I usually repeat parts of that during work :P. I’ve switched to ” I thought hurricane season was over ” from Pineapple Express lately tho LOL . But anyways… TN is just a crappy redneck pit of a place, and I hate every second I’m there. It’s pretty bad if a dude from KY is complaining about rednecks LOL GO CATS!!!!!!
January 12th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
oops, that was in 1993. It all runs together when you’re old.

Didn’t Pearl snitch on a coach at one point in his life?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Not just a game Macon. That talk is for pu$$ies. Good luck tomorrow but not too much! It should be a good one.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
i mean there’s always gonna be bad calls.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
27. YES and YES. That was obvious. Ricky had the refs scared that the mafioso would get them.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
i hate louisville, but they looked pretty good.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
32. To your previous question about traitor….Yes after post #32
January 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
#23, everybody looks good on offense against ND, cause they are slow and have no defense… plus they have no inside presence. LH is not a center.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
damn.
sorry, i take it all back.
every word.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
22- I love it
25- you feel the way about Tennessee basketball as we do about Kentucky basketball and we do enjoy havin you be a part of the rivalry and the blog.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
#33 I agree
I can understand why they would call a foul at that point, players
were diving for the ball, but no way LH touched to that ball in the
backcourt and Williams walked after that.
Funny thing is, if they didn’t call a backcourt, they probably wouldn’t
have called the 7 steps Williams took a walk.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
i will never say another kind word about the tards.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Pearl’s orange jacket makes him look like a homo
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Good night folks. Big Tuesday night comin! Low down dirty snitches. They colors is ulgy…punkin orange. LOVE THAT VIDEO!
January 12th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Funny how we are all using LH becaus we can’t spell his last name, me
included, LOL
January 12th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
like if somebody puked inside a pumpkin
January 12th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
30- yep after he was angry over losing out on a recruit.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I’m sure this will be written about tomorrow, but I hate the insane # of 5-6 year stars Tenn has had over the years. (i.e. - Harris, Lofton, Chism, Slay)
The list goes on, they live out that commercial “Never Graduate,” which I think is ESPN U.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
#42 YOUR WRONG - Pearl makes the orange jacket look homo.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
#39, I know Pearl isn’t popular with other teams, especially UK, but one has to admit that before Pearl arrived at UT, the ‘rivalry’ was on life support. Buzz Peterson NEVER defeated UK. I think that explains why he was so loved by the UK fans base, and personally by Tubby!
Yeah, yeah, I know….he honestly was a good person…
Also, take it for what its worth, but Pearl is almost ALWAYS very complimentary towards UK. This will be in tomorrow’s Knoxville News-Sentinel:
“They (Kentucky) are the benchmark,” UT coach Bruce Pearl said, “and we are all compared based on our success or failure against the Wildcats.”
Bruce knows.

I was trying to find the best way to explain how I feel about Tennessee.
Have you ever been angered when you see someone “taking advantage” of welfare? Or when you see a “charity organization” that is pocket over the line profits from donations? How about when you see a fake LV bag? You know how you feel when you see someone go take a crap but they don’t wash their hands?
That’s how I feel about Tennessee.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
#49 I hate UT (no offense to Texas, the real UT), but I will never
call the UK/UT game a rivalry. I will never give them that credit.
Bruce Pearl is the only one who runs his mouth all year long about
UK. He is the one who wants it to be a rivarly, he needs it to be
a rivarly.
But given our head-to-head record against UT, I wouldn’t call it
a rivarly.
Considering UT had their best season ever last year and still couldn’t
sweep us, that is not a rivarly. They could’t even beat us when we
didn’t have Meeks or Patterson, Jasper was probably 80% at best.
To me it isn’t a rivarly, it is domination on UK’s part
January 12th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Never thought I’d see LV in a post from a “Grits Gurgler.” Then, your next sentence did not disappoint.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
maybe #52, but UT has defeated UK more than any other team in college basketball….and Tennessee is the real UT. Chartered first, and in fact, there wouldn’t be a UofTexas without people who might well have attended UT.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
#54 There wouldn’t be a UT fight song if it wasn’t for a Kentuckian.
UT has also lost to UK more times than any other program - so
what is your point?
UT (again, no offense to Texas, the real UT) is not a rivalary to me.
That is what Pearl wants it to be and I think UK fans should let him
get what he wants
January 12th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Damn I got censored for a very tame Dick Vitale line. Good job, Matt.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
ok, #55, so I was hoping you wouldn’t bring up the UK beating UT more than anyone fact…damn
Also, which Kentuckian wrote ‘Down the Field?’ That is UT’s fight song. If you are talking about ‘Rocky Top,’ it was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, one born in Georgia, the other in Wisconsin. Again, if you’d like to assert the Texas is the real UT, then I contend that Transy is the real Kentucky (because it actually is…)
January 12th, 2009 at 11:46 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 11:50 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
#53 - UKrulz - I used the “LV bag” as a double negative. Meaning, cheap product (LV’s fake leather) that is copied for just as cheap yet sold at a KMart price.
I guess I wasn’t clear there. Does that help?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
#62 I agree, it is hard to hate a team that we beat so many times.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I’m really no fun to get in a nerd fight with, which is odd, because I (as a member of the Transy chapter of Delta Sigma Phi) am a big dork.

#69…I think that, if given time, he’ll be a great asset to UK. He has a system and once his type of player gets in that system UK will be great again. It’s not a free for all system, and it is very disciplined. I watched him as an assistant under Self when I lived in Illinois, and I figured he would do well. UTEP got some mention in the Champaign-Urbana press after he took that job, and it was amazing the turnaround he made with that program.
He certainly is a different type of man, and that rubs some the wrong way. I just hope you all don’t anoint Coach Pel without giving BCG his fair shake. I’m not a Pel fan, but I like Clyde. I’d be happy if he were the UT coach.
January 13th, 2009 at 12:02 am
I’ll make fun of UT all day long, but macon vol fan is good people and really brings a nice perspective to this site. And in saying that, I hope Scotty Hopson puts his headband on upside down…

Thanks #74, I’m gonna head off to bed. I’ve stayed up too late and I’ll suffer tomorrow. Dealing with 8th graders on 5 1/2 hours of sleep isn’t the best plan of action.
Like I said above in #25 I won’t get on here tomorrow. Matt called me yesterday, all excited about his blog plans for today. I just don’t feel like dealing with it right now. It’s really easy to take these blogs or message boards seriously. We’re all insulated by the anonymity of the keyboard, and we say things that if given the chance to say in person we wouldn’t. I usually keep my cool, and what not, but with post after post, I’ll just get angry. I take alot of crap during the SEC Tourney from these guys (example, the ab contest idea), so a full day of it from complete strangers would be too much!
I’ll be watching the ESPN tomorrow, rest assured. I’ll call my dad and we’ll dissect plays and cuss the bad calls and cheer the good ones over the phone…win or lose, life will go one. Pu$$y attitude or not, I’m okay with it. Have a great day tomorrow, ya’ll.

A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, “Wanna hear a good Tennessee joke?”
The guy next to him replies, “Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I’m 6′ tall, 200 lbs., and I am a UT grad. The guy sitting next to me is 6′ 2″ tall, weighs 225, and he’s a UT grad. And the fella next to him is 6′ 5″ tall, weighs 250, and he’s a UT grad. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?”
The first guy says, “No, not if I’m gonna have to explain it three times.”
January 13th, 2009 at 12:13 am
One things before I go, and I’ve said this for years, even before this here blog-o-sphere was invented. One reason for the annomosity between UK and UT fans is that the fan bases (esp the EKY and ETN people) are SOOOO similar. If an outsider from say, Oregon were to look at those jokes from KentuckyWildcats and insert Kentucky, they would work. My papaws were coal miners and railroad workers. Many of their co-workers were from Laurel, Whitley and Bell Co. Common stories, common values, etc.

One day when I was younger and in Lexington I noticed there was a smell in the air. I asked my dad what that was and he said it must be a southern wind.
I said, “do southern winds always stink?”
He said, “If Tennessee is directly south of you, then yes, they always stink”

Macon Volfan, looks like my prediction came true. But please, kind sir, don’t abandon us. Join in the banter tomorrow.
And the rest of you, back-off of Macon Volfan, and show some class.
Still, may the Cats beat hell out of Tennessee.
January 13th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Oh, I hate the Volunteers. Oh, how I do I hate them. Let me count the ways. Well…I am a law student, not an accountant, so bloviating instead it is!
Those pasty-faced, hippy “community service” oriented, metaphorical tree-huggers.
All they do is go around digging up perefectly good dirt, and go planting trees in them!
But, I tell you what is worse than there hippy ways is this whole “recurgitated orange” color the team has going on.
Who thought of that?
Did the founders of the university, just sit and around and think one day “You know, we’ve got a great history with people like Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson–You’re my boy A.J., you’re my boy!……But how can we make them rollover in their respective graves, and perhaps challenge each other to a duel?”
Conversation goes around, each one spouting one dumb idea after another. Then suddenly the smartest one says “Eureka’s Castle, I’ve got it! Let’s have some sports team that will never be any good unless they have a male basketball head coach who isn’t afraid to go topless around a bunch of barely legal teenagers, have a color scheme of orange and puke!”
Then the other founder interreupts and says “Scheme! There will be no scheme in this state! I know that by scheme you mean, some admittedly clever (aren’t you originaly from Kentucky?) attempt to make us look like fools! So I will one up you, and say, make it all one color!”
And, ladies and gentleman, there you have it.
The story of how Tennessee became “orange.” (No disrespect intended to Oranges, the Sun, Orange Soda, or Kel from the old Keenan and Kel show on Nickelodean).
This story was a made possible by a generous grant from the Freedom Association to Taunt Tennessee Young’uns (FATTYs…that’s right tennessee is also a bunch of fatties).

49, Why is Marc Maggard on another team’s pay site? Is he recruiting more “insiders” that can make up a few lies and get him in deep $hit with UK like what happened last week?
And does anyone else find it funny that a guy who has spent more time in the marching band than he has playing basketball at any point in his life can criticize someone’s right to talk about basketball?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE!!!! FIND BRUCE “2009 head coach for the World Maccabiah Games” PEARLS REAL NAME!!!!!
January 13th, 2009 at 7:54 am
The guy in the picture I know from somewhere, not sure but I think I saw him along I-75 picking up trash, Yeah I am sure thats him.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:55 am
96, My prediction for game changer is Miller. 10 to 15 pts. He will benefit from PPat and Meeks double teams.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:56 am
97. Please feel free to elaborate more…
January 13th, 2009 at 8:11 am
#97 I don’t go over to Marc’s site, just not my thing.
but I do find it disconcerning that you are so obessed with him.

I hate UT because:
1. I believe they built Thompson-Boling just to say their’s was bigger…i realize it isn’t anymore but that still chaps my nuts.
2. They really enjoy womens’ basketball down there
3. The three idiots I deal with on a daily basis that are major UT fans.
4. Rocky Top was a great song before they ruined it.
5. The color reminds me of my state mandated community service.
6. Bruce Pearl looks like the kid in my third grade elementary school class that always wore the husky jeans, had a terrible dust allergy (was always blowing or picking his nose), horrific bad breath, and dandruff at a very early age.

January 13th, 2009 at 8:34 am
I predict either Miller, Liggins or Galloway will break out today. We win by 3: 73-70.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:38 am
My hatred of UT runs so deep that its caused a complete hatred of anything orange. I wont even eat oranges anymore cause of this shit. When I go in the woods, there is a high possibility that Ill get shot cause I dont wear it. I kick peoples Halloween pumpkins in just because I hate the color. I hate orange. I hate Tennessee (the school not the state) even more now that these jokers actually think they are a basketball school, when really all they are is completely over-rated…Wait whats that…theyre not in the top 25 anymore? Good…still over-rated. Tyler Smith is a girl.
Whip some orange ass tonight guys.
We’ll be cheering you on from the hollers of Bell County!

#105 We better hope that Liggins and Miller break out sometime soon.
Once them two break out and Harris being a solid role player, we will
be that much better, maybe top 20. Then if Harrellson and Galloway can
get it together before the post season - The sky is the limit.
I don’t know why Galloway isn’t playing more but lets wait and see
if Liggins keeps making progress and gets closer to taking over the
majority of the PG minutes. Once that happen I have a feeling we will
see Galloway getting more minutes in a backup role. It is hard to try
to win and develop two new PGs at the same time.

And I gotta agree with you Matt…here in Middlesboro…the level of utter disdain of all things Vol is pumped up even more. Being twice as close to Knoxville as Lexington and being half a mile from the TN line makes for a lot of state-line rivarly. Ive got plenty of UT fans and I hope to give them a VERY hard time tonight after we burn Thompson Bowling to the ground and leave their fans heartbroken.

Looking for pictures of UT men’s basketball don’t go to Yahoo images.
If you do, you will have to flip through several pages of women’s
basketball pictures before you finally find a men’s picture.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:50 am
But if you type in Funny UT basketball picture you will instantly
get regular pictures of UT’s men basketball.

Little Bobby is in the second grade. Yesterday morning when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living, all the typical answers came up: fireman, policeman, salesman, etc. The teacher noticed that little Bobby was being uncharacteristically quiet and so she asked him about his father. “My father’s an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer’s really good, he’ll go out to the alley with some guy and do it with him for money.” The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took little Bobby aside to ask him, “Is that really true about your father?” “No,” said Bobby, red faced. “He plays basketball for the Tennessee Volunteers, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.”

Hunter’s post is late, it is after 9:30!
January 13th, 2009 at 9:30 am
There is something inherently faggish about wearing orange.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Since Hunter is late…
A carload full of Kentucky folk are heading up to King’s Island when the see a sign that says “King’s Island, Left” so they turned around and went home.
A guy walks into a bar in Kentucky and orders a soda. Surprised, the bartender says, “You ain’t from around here. Where you from, boy?”
The guy says, “I’m from New York.”
The bartender asks, “What do you do up in New York?”
The guy says, “I’m a taxidermist.”
The bartender asks, “A taxidermist… what in hell is a taxidermist?”
The guy says, “I mount dead animals.”
The bartender smiles and shouts to the whole bar, “It’s OK boys, he’s one of us!”

What’s the difference between a catfish and a Cats cheerleader?
One smells and has whiskers, the other is a fish.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:38 am
The Tennessee Volunteers name should be changed to the “Tennessee Tampons” as they are only good for one period and have no second string.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:41 am
96. I like Galloway, but if he does not log more minutes than the last few games it will be hard for him to be the game changer
…I hope your are right about UK winning.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Vision of a Vol, true story: Driving down I-65 in TN one sunny day, beat up Honda with a tattered UT flag (those are obligatory down there, must be torn and dirty) pulled off in the emergency lane, front driver’s side door open. Ugly guy, an obvious UT fan, standing in the “V” of the door. Yellow stream coming out under the door and all over the pavement. Lots of traffic. I guess that was a Tennessee rest area.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:56 am
I hate the big orange. HATE. And Louisville too. And South Carolina football.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Being a lifelong Kentuckian, I have always disliked Tennessee. That is the way it is supposed to be. Even though my family is from Knoxville, I was born and raised in Kentucky. Big Blue through and through.
