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.
