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.

The only thing I have against the iron bowl is how everyone is trying to make it seem like it has always been this huge nationally relevant game when that wasn't the case until 2010

I'm pushing 30, live in TN, have 2 UT grads/fans in my wedding, and feel it's forced

even my UT buddies don't treat it like they do the UF game. Hell, not even like the Vandy game anymore.

You mean the one that they didn't play for years because the fans were so crazy that they were worried something bad would happen? That's probably the only thing in the conference that is an actual rivalry.

People and trees have died at the hands of Bama fans over this rivalry. But hey, guess it's not emotional.
