Top 10 reasons that SOME Hokie Fans hate Tennessee. From the home office in Claiborne Co, TN here we go :
10. More people go to the Orange/White game than do VT's Homecoming
9. Most of the population of Tenn are Tenn fans. Most of the population of Virginia are Tenn fans.
8. Tennessee recognized football before 1999.
7. Tennessee is famous for running through the "T" VT for shaking
keys and Enter Sandman.
6. The whole world knows Rocky Top, and Techs fight song is?
5. Tenn is and always will be in the SEC. (You know darn good and
well the BEST conference in the nation.
4. Tennessee doesnt have play on a Thursday night to get people
to watch them.
3. Those BEAUTIFUL orange jerseys.
2. Tennessee didnt recruit Sean Glennon.
1. Rocky Top is so much better than the Hokie Pokie.
Go Big Orange.

Not being a UT fan has nothing at all to do with this but Crocky Top is without a doubt the worst song in the history of bad music. I have been to a few games at UT and the band never knows when to stop. Makes my skin crawl. SERIOUSLY.

The only two reasons that Tenn uh see is better liked than VT is- they get to lose to the rest of the SEC(sometimes) and NOBODY knows what a HOKIE is.
btw.. Please keep picking against my teams. You helped out a lot against Wisconsin for UT and JIB for CW. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

I'm sure about zero people on this board will believe me on this...And I surely am not taking sides because I hate both teams equally...But, I was in a suite at BMS with Bruton Smith and the President of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce the day the call came in from the Athletic Department at TN, (and yes VT had already said yes, they would do it) but the A.D. at UT said they had some sort of deal that they had to play so many games a year at Nealand (sp?), and that for like the next 3 years they already had their road games scheduled, BMS didn't have that kinda time because they wanted it to go down while they had the infield of the track tore out for rebuilding...THe athletic director at UT said all they could do was a Home and Home, I've not seen anything from it yet....

Until this year I did not know that Kansas just played basketball haha.....

Read this....Tennessee doesn't want to play Tech. I included the website at the end of the story so you would know I didn't make it up.
Smith revives Tech vs. Vols at speedway
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Maybe $20 million would make the University of Tennessee change its mind about turning down a chance to play Virginia Tech at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Bruton Smith, chairman and CEO of Speedway Motorsports, which owns the half-mile track with steep, stadium-style seating, says he will offer $20 million to both schools to play on turf he will install on the infield.
The idea of the game at the track, which is about 120 miles from both campuses, has been kicked around for many years because of the allure of drawing 160,000 or more fans that the track can hold.
But Tennessee athletic director Doug Dickey said no. Now Mike Hamilton, who succeeded Dickey in 2003, hasn't said never.
"Twenty million dollars is a bunch of cash," said Hamilton, who plans to attend this weekend's NASCAR races at Bristol. "If he's talking about $20 million, obviously, I'm listening."
Smith has said Virginia Tech officials support the idea, but they did not have an immediate comment on Thursday.
The idea seemed to dissipate when new buildings were added in turns three and four, but Smith said he'd just tear them down.
"We'll level the whole place. We'll put in the Astroturf, and we'll do it all," he said.
It is unclear when the game could be played. Tennessee has its schedule set through 2008, and the track hosts the Nextel Cup's Sharpie 500 every year in late August. Any renovations for the football game would have to be complete in time for a game by the end of November.
<span style="color: #FF9966">"They hold the keys to the whole thing," Smith said of Tennessee. "If they decide that they want to do it, Virginia (Tech) will be aboard. I can commit now."</span>
