Ordinarily I'd root for (1) a plague outbreak to decimate both teams, or (2) the SEC team to dominate, but I really like the idea that Saban might be forced to fade off into the sunset without another championship game, so Go Blue!

Screwing up and letting Alabama win that game is one more reason to hate A&M.

I'm in favor of this plan on general principle, win or lose. But obviously win. 😁

Section 328 of Nissan Stadium. GO VOLS!!!

My hopes of going to go a game in Neyland this year died quickly this morning! The availability and prices for the good games are godawful. At least I can see the Virginia game in Nashville. 🫤

9. Heupel promises the best is still to come, so I had to leave room for improvement. GO VOLS!

The way they hyped up the "Summit blue" all week, I was expecting to see more of it than just the compression sleeves, etc.

As a fan, after the emotional roller coaster of last week and the upcoming stress over Georgia, I can appreciate some boredom to catch my breath. And I don't think we have to worry about any lack of focus by this team with this staff (which isn't something we could say with some previous...

I am excited to see Milton get a lot of playing time. He seemed to have taken some real steps in the Akron game towards bringing his reputed greatness in practice to the game field, and I want to see a solid half of that. I know it's just Martin, but still - time on the field should help him...

If we didn't respect their program (with the exception of the traitor), we wouldn't be so over-the-moon overjoyed about beating them. I, for one, hope we NEVER get so "classy" that we don't stay up half the night screaming about beating Alabama. I sure won't.

I see all the math about conference championship, playoffs, etc. But I don't care. I hate Alabama with the white hot heat of a thousand suns, and I want to beat them no matter what. GO VOLS! JUST WIN THEM ALL!

I agree with all the comments to the effect that being competitive with Alabama is being "back." In the latest installment of my new favorite football podcast (TENNESSEE POWER HOUR) Withrow walked through a couple decades of history of this rivalry, and even in the "good old days," being...

Is Tennessee Football Back? We’ll Know If They Beat Bama. I thought this might interest some folks. I'm not sure the Vols have to beat Alabama this year to be "back" - there were definitely some great years back in the day even with losses to Alabama. But there's lots of interesting stats and...

I suspect my father's first words to me the day I was born were "we hate Alabama." AND I DO HATE ALABAMA.
