A.J. McCarron on Bama/UT: I don't see it as a rivalry, they're just another team

Growing up, AJ McCarron wasn't one who ran to the TV on the third Saturday of October.

The Mobile native grew up a Miami fan, so the Seminoles were more of his archenemy.

"Just another school. I don't think about them any more than I do anybody else," McCarron said. "Just another week, another game. That's the way we need to prepare for it."

So the rivalry doesn't factor in leading up to the 2:30 p.m. Saturday visit from the Vols?

"Not for me," McCarron said. "I play on this team, so every week is rivalry week to me because it's the next opponent on the list and they're trying to keep us from our goal, so it really doesn't matter to me."

He cries when he beats LSU, we all know who the real rival is (just not this season ).

What i took from this is that had they played their cards right, Miami could be going for three straight.

Because he doesn't consider Tenn a rivalry game? Makes sense.

yes. consider the history of the game and the fact that it is relatively close in record. To not consider them a rival because Tennessee in not up to his "standards" is ridiculous.

Oh goody. I was laying awake at night fitfully tossing and turning worrying that he did consider them a rival. Now I can rest easy.

Truth!

Folks can trash him all they want, but he's a damn good "game manager."

All AJ is trying to say to the thick skulls reading/listening to his commentary... Is that he treats every opponent with the same damn mentality. It's just another fricking game to him, he has to prepare and plan the same for every opponent. The moment a player lets his emotions take control and puts too much energy into one opponent over the other is the moment his team takes a loss. AJ knows WTF he's doing by now, the dude knows how to prepare and not let his emotions get in the way of preparing to play ball on Saturday. It's buisness, it's not personal dude.
