NO ORANGE! Just because I spent 47 years of my life in Tennessee did not automatically qualify me to be a University of Tennessee Big Orange fan and like the color. Living in Nashville was more about the hometown team of Vanderbilt, black and gold, baby. I never wore a UT shirt, flew the flag, or owned a Davy Crockett coonskin cap. Even though I had ties to the football team with my dad and cousin both playing for the Vols decades ago, I just grew tired of the sea of orange everywhere I went in the state. I thought I had escaped the color once I got to scarlet and gray country, but nooooooo. The orange color for the website was declared the winner after multiple meetings. I succumbed to the pressure and was out voted.
