I see this in a lot of threads where some fans try to convince themselves that the Alabama-LSU game is a true rivalry. I understand why it's not, but I'm still confused as to why you say you say you hate Tennessee. They have absolutely nothing going for them right now. It's almost laughable about how the past 4-6 years, they've been on the edge of being decent. I, myself, almost feel sorry for them. What sparks the hatred? Curious.

Because by hating ut, it keeps their rivalry going, which in turn keeps LSU playing florida every year. Voila.

There was a time before Saban was at Alabama. It was a bad time. We haven't forgotten.

rivalry takes 3-4 generations to build.

why does USC hate Notre Dame?
why does Oklahoma hate Texas?
why does Ohio State hate Michigan?

We used to respect UT. A lot. Then Phil Fulmer went secret witness against UA (illegal under NCAA bylaws and the little fact that UT boosters also were bidding on the player involved). Fulmer went holier than thou all the while UT was just as guilty as Bama, they just got outbid (UT offered $70k for the player).

Bama gets hammered by the NCAA. 6 years of lost later, we get Saban. Greatest coach of all time and are running a train through everyone now. And are in the middle of the greatest dynasty in NCAA history. So, in the words of one Chris Rainey:

"Time to die, bitches."

The hate from them is overwhelming towards Alabama.

It's hard not to hate 'em when they hate us so much.

History, this one means a ton to both sides. We hate orange, hate it. Best feel good win (cigars to the victors), worst feeling loss - do NOT want to be on losing end of this one.

Because Tennessee enjoys feeling appreciated and Bama is in major denial.

Any Bama fan that lived here from 1995-2001 earned their right to hate Tennessee. And to hate them infinitely. I don't care if Bama beats Tennessee 30 times in a row, the next will be just as sweet as the last.

Considering the series started in 2006, that's a good question
