So you were a career student that had kids as soon as you finally got out of college? We all know that guy and his life sucks.

Does it make you feel good that you paid significantly more for your education, took much longer to get said education, yet guys like me will still retire much earlier than you?

Oh the irony considering the beating UT has taken from its two top notch SEC rivalries.



We've sucked for a while, and those two have been mostly elite for extended periods of time. We certainly don't cry and bitch like gaping pussies though. That must be something exclusive to those with a french heritage...refs, schedules, bama, whatever is convenient to whine about.

Nope, had my first kid in my late 20s, done with graduate work around same time, have an amazing family, job that matters and an incredibly fulfilling life. You suck at the guessing game, just FYI.

Just admit that you like the easy win to pad your teams resume every year.


This statement alone tells everyone that you're a clueless frick. We played Vandy every year from 1953 until 2002...and that's 10 years AFTER expansion, for all of you children who just started watching SEC football about 5 years ago. If we wanted to pad our schedule, we would have kept Vandy.

Seriously, some of you people have the brain cells of a turnip. So let me explain it really slowly for all you people who rode the short bus to school: TSIO is NOT the reason we only go to other cross division schools once every 12 years.

Uhm, I don't want to bring up some uncomfortable truths, but Coach Bryant has been dead for quite some time. Just saying.

The red river shoot out involves two traditional powerhouses that both hate and respect each other.

Sorry tamu was never respected, hated, or invited to share equal money with the big boys in the conference.

Wow, you're ignorant of Alabama's rivalry with Vandy.

Interesting. Turnips, indeed.

Yall sure cry about coaching a lot actually. Maybe it's time to realize that Tennessee is now a stepping stone program. Ask Lane.

Holy shite at this fricking thread. I don't know what kind of Tennessee fans some in this thread have been speaking to but I would literally cut my left nut off with a rusty butter knife if it meant we beat Alabama's arse for the next decade like they have beaten us. frick Florida too but Alabama will always be Tennessee's most wanted win of the season. Period.

Those who have been apart of the SEC longer that a few years know about this rivalry. There is nothing forced about it and it has existed for a long time.

What has been forced is trying to make every new member of the SEC a rival with LSU, first Ark and now aTm. A least the LSU and aTm has a chance to be more real than the one with Ark.
