These rivalries are part of what makes college football so much fun. In the pursuit of greater revenue, some of that is being sacrificed. Missouri is losing a rivalry with Kansas, Texas A&M is losing a very high-profile rivalry with Texas. What I've always loved about college football more than pro football is the tradition. That's being pushed aside, which might be acceptable in part, but I'm afraid of it snowballing out of control and losing a lot of its meaning.

A former Bama player, can't remember which one, summed up the two rivalries this way:

"We hate Auburn because we have to. We hate Tennessee because we want to."

Sounds about right to me.

Hogwash. Those teams could still schedule their old rivalries as OOC opponents if they REALLY wanted to keep the fire alive. But alas, they are pussies.

I don't hate AU the most, but I sure as hell look forward to that game the most. It's a very competitive rivalry. All of our other rivalries are lopsided. Florida always beats us. We always beat Tech. The AU game is by far my favorite game to attend & watch. It's usually a barn burner ( :rimshot: )
