The only thing we're doing by keeping it alive is giving them relevance. It's absurd.
Second Saturday in November > Third Saturday in October
If I might ask, how old are you? This isn't a slight against you, I just want to see if you were cognizant of what was going on in the early-00s when we got put on probation for Albert Means. The reason why so many of us are enjoying this is because of what went down in Memphis all those years ago. Yes, we had a rogue booster pay $180,000 for the services of Albert Means. That is beyond dispute. What is also beyond dispute is that Tennessee was attempting to buy Means as well - a major NCAA violation in its own right. The Vols were granted immunity by the NCAA in exchange for their testimony (given anonymously) against Alabama. Fulmer was a secret witness in all of this craziness.
Everything that has happened to Tennessee since 2008 is karma for what went down from 2000-02. I wish their program nothing but mediocrity for the rest of my life. Snitches get stitches. The rivalry should never die. This is their punishment for what they did to us and I am happy to watch my team deliver to them once a year from now until the end of time.

It goes beyond that. Tee Martin was getting paid in checks and wire transfers by self-proclaimed Tennessee booster Diane Sanford. She didn't deny any of it but because Fulmer helped them get Bama not one single thing happened.
Let them burn.
Edited to add: It is worth noting that Means didn't get one cent from Alabama. He was being pimped out to the highest bidder by his coach and almost certainly had no idea what was happening. Martin, on the other hand, got direct cash payments.

Actually, the amount of $180k is in dispute. Certainly under 100k. But the essence of what you are saying stands. Fulmer and Kramer were quite a pair.
