Older Bama fans and the ones that live in the northern part of the state generally look at UT as the #1 rival.
This is more of a Huntsville and NW AL thing. I live about 40 minutes from the TN line and rarely see any UT fans and I don't know anybody around here that considers UT their main rival. When I go see my wife's family in Lauderdale Co it is a different story.

Dominance in the history of the S.E.C is why Tennessee is the biggest rivalry. When you are on top, everyone wants to knock you down.

How much of a rivalry is this game going to be for the next 10 years? Someone tell me why Tennessee won't be Bama's bitch for the forsiable future? It's inevitable that Dooley will be fired, what coach can Tennesee bring in that can compete with Saban? No one IMO. This game is only a rivalry in name because it sure as hell isn't on the field
