re: Which SEC team(s) do you have special hate for?

We are literally called the Volunteer state. If being know for historically sacrificing your lives to serve your country isn't noble then I don't know what is.

Since the poster you are responding to is JackNOLA, presumably a reference to New Orleans, he should be aware that we first earned our nickname because of the ridiculous number of Tennesseans who Volunteered to fight in the War of 1812, a number of which fought to free Louisiana.

A large contingent of said Tennessee Volunteers most famously in the Battle of New Orleans under the leadership of then Major General Andrew Jackson).

As for me... It used to be UF and BAMA but my UF hate has all but disappeared - tho I have to admit Jalen "Teez" Tabor did an excellent job of reminding me of the 90s hate we used to have. Spurrier and Fulmer made that rivalry and did so from scratch. I miss it dearly and all the crazy 'fan hate events' that went along with it. BAMA is an odd one because there's a begrudging respect between the programs but it remains the most important game on our schedule and fans on both sides know the moment UT wins TSIO the hate will will reach epic proportions. Younglings here on tRant don't seem to understand that physical fights used to break out between BAMA and UT fans on a regular basis.
