That's pretty close to a mirror image. One of the reasons I've always loved the UT-UK rivalry is because it's fun fighting with family.


The main reason I wish y'all had never had to get rid of Bruce was because I think instead of the SEC making UK-UF be the annual basketball rivalry, I'm almost 100% positive it would have been UK-UT.

Yeah we had the old days back when Bruce was coaching both fan bases hopping mad at each other too during basketball season. I'm hoping Tyndall will be able to do something - he has a lot of Bruce like attributes but only time will tell if he can fire things up again.

shite UT/UF was also HUGE when I was at UT, almost as big as UT/UK. Bruce Pearl was just good for the SEC in general. The excitement he brought was incredible to see from where it was my first couple of years with Buzz Peterson. You could walk up to the game 30 minutes late and stroll down to the first few rows. Once Bruce got going, kids were camping out the night before to just get in to the big games and hours before the others.
