Of course you supposedly don't care about the program that's never won anything.

Is it that or is it maybe that there was zero exposure to any UT sports other than football when I was growing up in the 90s. I made that abundantly clear in the original post that you quoted. I was born in Boston and raised in the suburbs. The SEC network wasn’t around, ESPNU didn’t exist. Tennessee basketball may have been on national TV 1-2 two times a year. It wasn’t a big deal in our family, unlike football, which fall Saturday’s were planned around. Should I have waited until they became a respectable program to start rooting for them? Wouldn’t that make me a “bandwagon fan?”
