I'm in a CFB group text thing on GroupMe and at least half the guys on there are Vol fans. Never do I hear shite about this rivalry. It's always about UF. I've never seen anyone outside of this board even refer to it as "TSIO".
Half may be strong, I'll admit. But UF and UGA both seem to take precedent in my circle of friends. And when SC was good, them too.

So what, the 5-10 people in a group text represent the entire fanbase? Extrapolation station around here

You guys insist on continually reminding the rest of us (a) how young you are, or (b) how, in spite of your attempted appearances, you don't know shite about college football...relatively speaking.

Back in the 90s, I used to post on rec.sport.football.college and the topic came up every year.
The "I Hate Tennessee" thread got posted each and every year like clockwork.
