This is a rivalry because in Bama fans minds everything they do is a big deal.

For UT fans it is a throwback to when they were somebody.

Nobody honestly cares about this game.

In the last 20 years would a Bama vs UT game even make the top 200 of important / meaningful games in the SEC

The point in which you stopped actually engaging in the debate about what makes a rivalry and switched to old and tired stereotypes about people from Alabama even though I haven't lived there since the late 90's.

Oh ok, so not American made or sissy cars. So you're the "Toyota Tundra guy" or maybe a "Nissan Titan fella" huh? You haul hay with that truck or just use it to help people move every so often?

Getting slightly closer, but not quite there. I see you more as a mediocre sports car sort of guy, attempting to make yourself a bit cooler and likable than you actually are. You think of yourself as smart because you got a bachelor's degree from some liberal arts university and you now make 50k a year in junior management. Bet I got closer on my first try than you did!

It would be awesome if LSU, aTm, Arky, and Mizzou would all leave and form their own conference. This would alleviate all the permanent rivalry stuff and would generally reduce the level of faggotry that is going on in this conference.

Personally I like playing Florida every year.

What debate? The one where you and UT fans play pretend once a year?

I've already listed, in this thread, where I received my degree from. I put it on a tee for you, and you missed it by a mile.

whoa I didn't hit you with any salary guesses. But since you said 50k, I'll assume you're slightly above that. But I will say I'm not in junior management, or any form of management.

Ummmmmm yeah, I think I will stick with my narrative that TN > LSU


Tennessee is now basically nothing more than a 4th generation person whose father inherited a bunch of money only to blow it all. They live on property that has overgrown weeds and an old, big house that is falling apart, because they don't have enough money to keep it well maintained. But.... They have that last name of their Great Grandfather, who made all that money, and built the wealth, so they pound their chest proudly, while being flat arse broke.

Yes. Bama plays this shite up to keep Auburn out of the East and to keep an automatic W on their schedule.

The only thing I'm upset about is your faux expertise in anything dealing with the University of Tennessee. But that hasn't stopped you from looking like an idiot throughout this and other threads. It has been funny watching retard bama fans make you look dumb.

Pretending we didn't debate what does and does not make a rivalry, doesn't mean we didn't. Nice try...well, not really.

Sorry I don't read every page of every thread on this site like you do. So I was right...bachelor's from a liberal arts university. Thought I pegged you.

Hmmm, sales? Yeah, must be sales. And you didn't respond to the sports car guess, which likely means I nailed that too. And since you didn't refute the salary guess, you are probably at or below my guess. Man, I'm good! I'll take it a step further...you consider yourself an independent progressive, but likely vote democrat 90%+ of the time, either agnostic or atheist but consider yourself a good person based on your own standard of subjective good. How am I doing?

So we have another one who dresses up for Halloween a week early. Nice.

I really do understand why you'd want it to be a rivalry. Alabama is a successful program and keeping the Third/Fourth Saturday in October relevant keeps UT relevant.

Hopefully UT can create their own success at some point instead of continually clinging on to Alabama's.

I haven't debated anyone in this thread. I've continually stated my right opinion.

Wait, you really don't know the difference in a LAC and State University?

Nah, no sports car for me. Gas mileage is important.

This is me refuting your salary guess.

you've done decently on this one, I'll give you that. 90% is strong though.

overall I give you a B though. Solid work!

How close was I? Tundra or Titan? 60k?
