It's not a jab. Some of us value that rivalry more than the Bama/Au one, if forced to choose. Tenn is historically the 2nd best program in the conference and have just had a tough run lately, much like Bama did in the early 2000's and Auburn did in the 90's, 60's and 70's and pre 57.

I hate Au more, but it wouldn't bother me losing that series as much as it would Tenn. There's been alot of hate there also, but a ton more respect for their program and I'd personally, just rather have that series continued. Nothing like the 3rd Sat in Oct. Plus, imagine the SEC CG if it ever did come down to Bama/Au meeting for the first time in that game for all the marbles. Huge.

Well you're probably not much different than me in that to me the biggest college football game of the year is Auburn/Georgia, but that's because I've grown up in Georgia.

That said, I wouldn't suggest turning off the Iron Bowl with a straight face.

Well then play it on the 3rd saturday if its so untouchable.

You guys would be screaming bloody murder if there was a season you were left out of the sec championship gmae or nat'l championship game in favor or an undefeated auburn. "if we still played the iron bowl, we'd beat their asses." is how i imagine it'd go.
