I put rival in quotations because I know there are some rivals-not-rivals relationships in this league

I thought of this while looking up stats for the head-to-head records in your lifetime thread.

Georgia's won 9 straight road games against Georgia Tech. We haven't lost in Bobby Dodd since 1999.

On top of that, that 1999 game was vacated, so to find the last Georgia Tech home win over Georgia that actually still counts, you have to go back to 1989.

'89!!

I would imagine the winner of this thread will be Tennessee having some absurd streak over Vandy in Nashville, but I'm interested to see if there are any other really long streaks.

Cool stat until you went petty. Can't stomach a road loss from 19 years ago?

not sure why it's petty when it's an actual black and white fact. They played ineligible players therefore the game was vacated. On top of that, the officiated was so awful (which directly related to the "loss") that the head official was suspended.

I don't care, but it makes the stat look a little more absurd, which amplifies the point.

We've won 13 out of 14 games there since the turn of the 90's. That should be impossible.

Don't care enough about UK to look but it has to be at 15 or 16 I would think.

That is amazing even if it's just UK.

They've won 15 straight in Lexington going back to 1986.

What in the actual frick, Kentucky?

Is that really a rivalry though?

Would it be petty to say that GT has gold and black uniforms? no, because it is a fact. Just like the facts the other posters pointed out. How is it petty to say a game was vacated, or a head official was suspended?

Well, no, because that would mostly just be incorrect

They won 14 out of 15 from 1971 through 1998. The one they didn't win was a tie in 1985.

That might be the most impressive considering caliber of opponent/venue.

Alabama was 14-0-1 at LSU from 1971 to 1998.

After a little research, because I don't know shite about your rivalry, the ruling to vacate GTs wins from 1998-2000 was overturned.

We've won 4 in a row against South Carolina.

Also, our longest losing streak to our rivals from the East is 0 games.

If it's been troubling you for 19 years I figured it must be worth a little research
