That is the question. It isn't Bama's fault that UT has totally collapsed. UT was one of the big 6 when permantent rivals were established. So do most people think UT can get back to where they were in the late 90's and early to mid-2000s? But for anyone to say that we should stop playing them every year in conference play is an exercise in futility. Plus UF doesn't complain about UGA playing auburn. But UT does need to get their act together and do their part.

And while we did draw UK this year, getting Mizzou last year wasn't necessarily a gimme game before the season started (and thus when the schedule was made). A lot of people picked Mizzou to compete for the east. They were given a better chance of succeeding in the first few years in the SEC than was aTm.
