Saw this tidbit about these once proud programs.
Didn't you used to be Florida-Tennessee? Something has to give. The teams go in with a combined 14-game SEC losing streak (Tennessee, eight; Florida, six). Gators fans used only 2,600 of their 7,500 allotment from the Vols. "That's the lowest I can ever remember," said Jimmy Hyams, radio host at WNML, Tennessee's flagship. For perspective, Tennessee fans used approximately 3,700 of the 8,500 allotment last year at The Swamp. Note to anxious fans: There's a reason both of those jobs were open.

Gator fans are cautiously optomistic, vols fans are branded as other teams. Even though they said they were only doing that to get rid of Butch.

Tennessee has been hibernating since the late 90s. I think it's dead.

Really is astounding. Used to be the best rivalry-matchup in the SEC for years.

Both programs are having pretty rough stretches, but in hard times it’s important to remember there’s almost always someone else who has it worse.

As we used to say on Sand Mountain...
The one is scared and the other is proud of it.

You'll be even more right come Saturday evening.

Two once proud programs reduced to below Ole Miss level...just sad when you think about it.

Two once proud programs have basically been reduced to South Carolina

We already know what this game is.
Which team sucks less.
It's hard to be excited for that type of game. Tenn and UF is a rivalry based simply on the lvl of competition of the 90s and early 2000s. This isn't a deep hatred, it's a new hatred. So no one is really hyped for this. A win really only means you suck a little less in the end and have bragging rights. Which both fan base want of course, but both are too scared to have an optimistic view of the game so it's hard to talk shite.

Have the Aggies ever won anything?

I have seen one thread where they are going at it started by V&S, and though it is a funny one, it is only one.
