Does anyone else think the UT/Bama rivalry feels forced?

It's like Red River Shootout levels of pretend hatred. You can tell both fanbases love the pageantry, the idea of the rivalry, but the emotion and hate isn't there. I find the whole act to be really plastic.

I'm not a Bama fan but even I know this is ridiculous.

Maybe for the younger guys it's not a big deal but I grew up knowing it was usually their biggest game on the schedule.

The only fake rivalry is the Iron Bowl.

Tenn - Florida
Tenn - UGA
Bama - LSU

Are all more interesting to me.

You should have been around in the early 2000's. The hate is real....although a decade's worth of arse kickings have made it better.

Good to see all the little bros of the conference coming together. Perhaps y'all should do something about getting the game changed since this rivalry is a farce.

The emotion and hate is there, between the two schools. But, it's ran its course, IMO. Bring on 9 team conference schedule.

Bama wants to keep an easy East team on the schedule... 8 or 9 in a row does that.

Meh. I think it would be cool if Tennessee was good. The problem is, Butch isn't the guy. Bama/UT, Florida/LSU, and Auburn/UGA, Mizzou/Arkansas happening every year is fun.
