I am not sure it was a rivalry as much as a fuming grudge between Bryant and Dodds. Bobby was the one that had Tech leave the SEC, imagine in the modern realignment world letting any coach in any sport have that much power today! Maybe JoPa in the 80's or 90's when they were still IND and possibly Bowden back then, but that may be it.
