re: Of the two teams that Alabama claims as rival, which do they hate more

Different types of rivals. Tennessee is the out of state rival you can hate freely, because you don't know any IRL.

I'd agree they're different types of hate but disagree about the not knowing any IRL. Tons of Gumps move to TN from Bama although I don't know if it really goes in reverse (we're one of the fastest growing states).

For me the question is between BAMA and UF and the answer is that the feelings are very different. I hate BAMA but respect the program and have always had a friendly relationship with Bama fans (like I said a lot move here) but I absolutely despise the UF program and have zero respect for it although I do like some of their fans and posters here. But by and large they are the 'new money' program that doesn't know how to behave the way 'old money' does. That said, I hate them a lot less without Spurrier.
