Has anyone told Tennessee that?

I live in Tennessee, and there's some real hatred there.

I mean, yeah, I like to win that game, but a *lot* of UTK fans truly hate Beamer. Whereas the UGa series cooled after Spurrier retired, the UTK series has actually intensified since then(and it was already the closest series in the conference, accounting for margin of victory since 2000). The last two games have really sent it into a different space.

Most of my close UTK friends were openly pulling for UNC two weeks ago. Anecdote is anecdotal, but alas.
