Bama fans want to keep things the way they are so they can keep beating up on Smokey every year.

Don't F with our UK rivalry!

I reserve the right to change my mind if they start consistently kicking our arse one day in the future...

UT vs Bama Is one of the best rivalries in the country. You want us to change that for your crappy newbie program?


You can keep the game.

I don't want it changed for my team. Most of the other team's fans don't want to go 12 years between visiting the other division's stadiums.

Wasn't the vote like 9 of 12 voted in favor of keeping the rivalry? It wasn't just Bama/UT.

And UT won't be going at this rate much longer, so I'm not too worried about that.

We have Clemson vs USC, Fla vs FSU, UGA vs Ga Tech games written in stone and that shite aint gonna change. The lucky teams are the ones with thier rivals in the same conference. Auburn vs Bama, Miss vs Miss st.

Suck on Bamas ballz noobs cause Bama does run this shite.

It wasnt long ago Bama was 1-10 from 95-06. Its a series of streaks. The "tide" will turn eventually .

Didn't you guys run away from your main rival in the Big 12 to join the SEC?

See boy, Alabama doesn't run from a fight. We've been playing UT and Auburn as rivalries for a long time now as the 3rd Saturday in October and the Iron Bowl respectively. If you don't like that then you can STFU and go back to being a bottom feeder in the big 12.

Didn't you refuse to play Auburn for 40 years because you were sick of losing to them?

This isn't even a pot meet kettle scenario, this is worse.

when the frick are we both going to wear home uniforms again no matter where the game is played. people on the Vols board always say Bama admins were the ones who shut that down.



IDK
But this shite needs to happen ASAP.
Could be a league thing or NCAA.Need to make a call to Slive and tell him we(Bama/UT)want to do throwback uni's and both wear home colors.lol


I don't think it is a NCAA rule. I think the rule is now, that the teams only need to have contrasting jersey colors.
And to the OP, thanks for the entertainment of this thread.

Tensions further built when, after both 1906 and 1907 contests, Auburn head coach Mike Donahue threatened to cancel the series if Alabama head coach "Doc" Pollard continued employing his elaborate formations and shifts.[4] The series was indeed suspended after the 1907 game when the schools could not come to agreement over the amount of expenses to be paid players, as well as from where officials for the game should be obtained.[5]

Know your role and shut your hole.

PS. I can't wait until A&M comes to tuscaloosa. I will be on the 50 yard line 3-4 rows up. I will make this a must see, just to watch Bama stomp a mudhole and have you crying just like you did year after year against texas.

I remember USC and UCLA did it a few years ago and have to each give up a timeout or something like that. I don't recall all the specifics but they made a big thing about it and might have gotten the rule changed.
