Things I hate

I think Nashville is the most overrated city in America. Memphis is accurately presented, probably the worst drivers in America live there. Never spent time in Knoxville.

Screw Tennessee!
Nashville was really fun 20 years ago. It sucks now..... Unless you enjoy 15 dollar beers, penis balloons on your head, Mosh pit crowds and 400 dollar a night hotels.

I'm a Nashville native. I live in Kentucky now. Happily so. Nashville used to be a great place a long time ago. At least for me. But that was a long time ago. Totally changed now.

Tennessee is a football state. Always has been, always will be. Football is the king for them. Basketball ... they've always wanted to be elite.

But they aren't. Even their best teams aren't. They've had ... two elite eight appearances ?!?!?? That's as elite as it gets for them, and that's respectable. Reminds me of that first time they made the elite eight in 2010.

My Tennessee friend excitedly called me that year to share in his utter JOY at FINALLY making an elite eight! He was totally giddy, said he never experienced anything like it, how exciting it was, and was curious as to how many elite eight games Kentucky played in.

We made the elite eight that year, but I was rather calm about it and simply said " I *think* 32 or 33 now? I've lost count." Perry was astounded. Silence ensued on the other end of the line.... "Damn brother, he said. That's crazy."

:)

But yeah, Tennessee pretty much sucks everywhere these days. Good for them they got Barnes to keep things spicy for us. I'd rather them not go back to the Ray Mears era where they had to get a player riding a unicycle to lead the team out before the game.

Not a good look

They are a football state but have not won a championship for 27 years.

That’s what I hate the most. They act like they are a football powerhouse and they are not. Now I do agree that they are light years ahead of UK in football and I hate that.
