used to be a good rivalry. for me now it has been replaced with LSU Alabama in my opinion- but I'm not an old timer like some who love this TN AL rivalry.

This is a legitimate thread that should not be deleted.

I'm 51.I'm a Bama fan because my Father and I attended school there and he told me I was a Bama fan.I was told to hate Tennessee.For some reason it's an "old time hate".Peoples Grandfathers and Bama fans that have passed hated Tennessee.



eta:Hope they pass out Cigars tonight.

It's so unpredictable. You never know who will win this matchup. Tennessee is very capable of beating Alabama. It's why the SEC tries to keep permanent opponents balanced. Florida plays LSU because those teams go back and forth on who is better. Bama has Tennessee because they are the Tide's equal. It's totally balanced. And then you have the up and coming Kentucky team to balance the Tide's 2013 schedule, and that will rival LSU picking up UGA.

It's not about Fulmer, whatever Fulmer did. That rivalry is old school. Folks forget what a power Tennessee used to be. There have been some long winning streaks in that series too.

|I understand Bama vs. Auburn and UGA vs Auburn but not this one.|

#1 all time wins SEC - BAMA
#2 all time wins SEC - TN

There 'ya go.

I like LSU, I pull for them when they are playing anyone but Bama. I don't think there are many Bama fans that do hate LSU. I also think a strong rivalry involves to hate the other team so much that you pull for them to lose every game they play. Only two teams I enjoy seeing lose is Auburn and Tennessee. I do not like to see LSU lose unless playing Bama.

I agree. I want nothing more than to see Auburn and Tennessee lose every single game, In conference, Out of Conference, Bowl Game, NC....doesnt matter. I only want LSU to lose when we play them, otherwise I could care less...

schools used to be national powers before both schools sold out and lost their identity and tradition.
