I have been hearing a lot about the Alabama Tennesse rivarly lately. What makes it so special from an historic standpoint? Has any SEC or national championships been on the line when this game has been played throughout the years?

Growing up in the 70's it was always the game my parents and grandparents referred to as the game they always looked forward to. Always the one they made the big deal over. We didn't know any Auburn fans in the 1970's but we knew Tennessee fans.
Pat Dye said something to the tune of - When I took over as coach at Auburn you couldn't find a bumper sticker or hat with Auburn on it. I meant to change that.
I guess he did. I didn't meet my first Auburn fan until I was freshman at UA. I guess thats why I prefer the UT-UA game. However, I am old enough and wise enough to know the UA-AU game means more to the state of Alabama. Frankly, I don't care who Alabama plays - as long as I get to watch or attend the game.

LSU always plays Tennessee on the third Saturday in October.

Don't you know that all their victories from when people wore leather helmets mean that the current games are more interesting?

UA & UT have won 42 conference titles since they began playing fwiw. They are the 2 greatest football programs the SEC has to offer.

I love traditional rivalries. but at the same time, I'm getting tired of chest-thumping about the past. 2nd most SEC titles this, 2nd most wins all time that.
and I understand the ridicule and disrespect from other fans. 10 years of near-misses and mediocrity will do that to a program. but winning cures everything. time to win on the field, and carry the winning tradition.
