Has your team ever completely demoralized a rival?

yes, two of ours ran away to another conference because they were sick of losing to us.

so Tennessee deserves some credit for not giving up

We are 2 out of the last 3 against the Gumps and are about to regain our own streak again. They ain't shite without Saban.

I'm just happy that we were the ones to officially begin their decline in 2022. That loss broke Saban mentally and with NIL incoming, he saw the writing on the wall.

He already ran away from the NFL when the talent was equal. He did the same damn thing with NIL. Can't say I'm surprised.

Vols are every bit as good of a football program as Bama. We just didn't luck out and hire Saban. And we absolutely pawn them in damn near every other sport.

We aren't the least bit scared of those west coached paper tigers.

In '96 FSU beat Florida in the regular season by a field goal...Florida turned around an beat FSU in the National Championship 52-20.

I'd say that was pretty demoralizing.

The Orange haven’t sniffed a win in Tuscaloosa since before a single player on your team was out of diapers.

There are some players on Tennessee's team who weren't alive the last time the VOLS won in T-Town.

If Bama never hires Saban, they are another program in the SEC right now. You guys seriously need to get off their D.

Saban is the greatest cheater ever. Without him, they are just another good program nothing special.

Most of you never even watched football before Saban was coach I realize.

The Fran and Shula days seem like yesterday.

Bama has a combined 25 Southern/SEC championships even excluding those won by Saban.

How many does Tennessee have?

oh hell yeah, currently actually. Kirby's records against our top 4 annual rivals beginning with his 2nd year ever as a head coach:

Tech- 7-0 (1 game canceled due to covid otherwise 8-0)
UF- 7-1
AU- 9-1
UT- 9-0


A combined 32-2 in that time against our four biggest rivals. Incredible.

Yep, just having the GOAT coach rather than the top 2. Take away Saban and Bama and UT’s last championships are only 6 years apart.
Alabama has won SEC championships every decade since the 1960s and a national championship every decade in the same span except for the 80s. More SEC championships, bowls, top 10 appearances, weeks at number 1, all -Americans. The down Fran/Shula years were the anomaly. Fat Phil and Fat Josh are perfect coaches for your program. I doubt Josh backs into a championship like Phil. He’s already established that he is gonna be just good enough to make the Big Orange faithful get their souls crushed year after year.

If "if's" and "but's" were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Coaches and players make the program what they are today. Just like "if" y'all wouldn't have hired Fat Feel Fulmer you'd never won the 98 NC. It's a stupid argument.

You got your a$$ butt plunged for 15 straight years when Saban was here and it counts on the record books. Just own it.
