I am with you guys screw Tennessee. I do think we benefitted from a couple of calls Saturday, but the winner would have been the same. We played a great second half and deserved to win, and knowledgeable fans would appreciate that. At one point Tennessee was our most respected rival. Fulmer poisoned the well. Years ago most Alabama fans pulled for Tennessee, Auburn and LSU when they were not playing us. That has all changed for me because of their fan bases. Heck my niece who is an Auburn graduate, that I love dearly, said the only team she hates worst than Alabama is Georgia. When Coach Bryant came in 1958 he had never beaten Tennessee when he was at Kentucky (he won the SEC at Kentucky) and Texas A&M and lost to them in 1958, tied in 1959, and lost in 1960. Alabama won the National Championship in 1961. At the start of the Tennessee game that year they kicked a 52 yard field goal to take the lead. My cousin said damn the jinx is still on. We won 34 to 3. The team we really always disliked was Georgia Tech, but that is another story.
