I've never seen a more fair weather fan base in the SEC. No one quits on their team like the VOLs.

Tennessee fans are a lot of things but fair weather isn't one of them. I'd argue they're one of the most loyal fan bases in the conference. They have been dreadful almost every year for almost 15 years now and still support their team

Who cares - UF and several other schools have been returning extras from their allotments for games in Knoxville for several years now.

This, Tennessee's last legitimate championship contending team was in 2001.

I don't pay much attention to this rivalry because it's gone stale but I assume Bama has a great dominance in this one than UF had over UGA or currently has over UT?


Winning 14 in a row is pretty strong dominance.

Alabama leads the series 58-37-8 overall.
They lead 31-17-7 at home and 27-20-1 in Knoxville.

Breaking it down by decade (courtsey of mcubed.net), here's Bama's record against Tennessee:

2020's: 1-0
2010's: 10-0
2000's: 5-5
1990's: 4-5-1
1980's: 6-4-0
1970's: 9-1-0
1960's: 5-4-1
1950's: 1-7-2
1940's: 4-3-2
1930's: 5-4-1
1920's: 0-2-0
1910's: 2-1-0
1900's: 6-1-1

Not surprisingly, Bama's advantage comes from the tenures of Saban (14-0), Bryant (16-7-2), and Stallings (4-2-1).

Cool. UT as one victory over shark fricker and winless against Mushchamp

But not with vastly superior teams and natty spots on the line.

VOLS were only 5 behind in the series record...until Saban got there and started whooping everyone's arse

FYP

Your average VOL fan is mostly excited to see that JG cannot possibly be our starter this year

We are headed toward a NFL farm program of about 40 schools. Tennessee and many other schools will fall back to amateur sports. This is just an early sign of that.

And Tennessee will undoubtedly be one of those 40 teams.

No, this is not a thing. You guys really struggle to sell tickets when you aren't good. I've been there. I've seen how you don't show up at home, or away.

Terrible fanbase.

Tennessee was five games back when Saban arrived.

75% of the visitors tickets in BDS are on the top rows of the two EZ upper decks. Alabama has the worst visitor section in the SEC. Nobody wants to sit in those seats.
