Hopefully it goes away.

Until Tennessee regains relevance, no one outside of old Alabama and UT fans will care.

As long as Bama keeps beating the snot out of them, I care...

Obvisouly most Bama fans will be in favor of the SEC rent a win every year. I'd like to hear the opinons of other SEC fans and maybe the opinion of the 3 UT posters on this board. The SEC going out of their way for this rivalry is just a waste of time IMO.



We realize that you don't really understand what a rivalry is, but just because UT is going through a down period doesn't mean their program will never recover. Many Alabama fans still remember their long winning streak over us that seemed like it would never end.

Stupid threads are stupid, but by all means carry on with your conspiracy theories regarding Alabama.

Frankly, I don't understand the pushing and shoving between LSU and Tennessee. Like it's such an awesome honor to be Alabama's little brother.

If you ain't first, you're LAST.

I think you can count the people on one hand besides fans of those schools that have given that game the time of day since 1973.

But,by all means lets re-arrange everyone else's schedule to preserve this nonsense.

A sleeping giant?....well that giant was sleeping since football was invented right through the early 2000's....you LSU fans have an inflated sense of your team's worth....Tennessee is more succesful program historically than LSU.....


You must not have read the post above OR were born in the 90's.

So, LSU fans can't talk about there rich history in College Football because a Gump thinks it isn't STRONG enough to do so.

A good coach can change everything.

There are teams in the SEC right now who have recruiting that is as bad or worse than UT and can still field competitive teams.

Also, 20 years ago, you could've said Oregon would NEVER be able to recruit well enough to compete with the USC's and the Washington's of the world. Their recruiting was shite, and their teams were shite. And there was no sign of any possibility of improvement, because Oregon was not nationally well known and because Oregon is in fricking Oregon. Look at them now.

When you get a few more years on you, you will realize that college football is cyclical and the paradigm is always changing. NOTHING IS PERMANENT. Teams will fall and teams will rise. Tennessee will rise again one day.

None of this even matters though, because we fricking hate them (many of us hate them worse than Auburn) and they fricking hate us (most UT fans consider Alabama their biggest rival.) It has more tradition in terms of actual meaningful games THAN ANY OTHER RIVALRY IN THE SEC. Bama and UT owned the SEC for about 60 years, the states border one another, and for most of those years it was the biggest game of the year.

They don't want to stop playing us. That's what so comical about this. They are the ones getting beat, yet it's LSU fans (who clearly don't understand rivalries) who think we should stop playing.
So many original thoughts. Thanks for sharing.

Judging by the crowd and ticket prices at Neyland Stadium this year, Tennessee fans no longer really care about the game.




This is not an unfair statement.

Talk all you want.....but leave out our TSIO out of it....don't blame us becuase Miles is a 10 win/year average coach who can't get it done against Saban and wants UF off the schedule because he is worried he can't beat them.

I'm not BABBLING! I'm asking what is so great about being second place? Let's face it -- neither Tennessee nor LSU is going to catch Alabama any time soon. What's so great about being second place?

You know, there's research which shows that the silver medalists at the Olympics are way less enthusiastic than the bronze medalists, because the silver winners think "If only..." obsessively, and the bronze medalists are just happy to be up there. So I'm telling you to EMBRACE being in third place!

You should stick to mouthbreathing and leave the trolling to those who could get into community college.
