Alabama will finish in that bottom part of the top 10 like Tennessee. Since they are only signing about 18 this year, you may be close to correct, but maybe not....

I don't just "lurk" in the weeks before Bama/Vol game. I lurk all year long because its funnier than SatNiteLive. I especially enjoy "Double D" saying, after 10 losses in a row to Bama, "That's what we do!? We know the streak will end at some point. Could be this year, maybe not. But you have...

However, he did still find the time to produce some 1500 or more yards running the ball this year for CSU.:)

Thanks for the memories with the Morse code. Bringgs back my military time in the fifties. To answer the OP, I always cheer for Tenn over Auburn. :good!:

Thought I recalled that Bama won. Yes, Gilmer was good. I remember some names from earlier Tides, but that was the first time I saw them play. Somewhere along the line the tremendous respect that the two teams (and their fans) got derailed into the flaming culture of today. More than one Bama...

If a non-Vol fan can comment on the title question, my first Tennessee game was as a 12-year old in 1945 against Bama. Too lazy to look up the score, but as I recall, Bama won the game, with Harry Gilmer at "left halfback" - the passer in the Notre Dame Box of that day.

Someone mentioned the run that Tennessee had against Alabama in the mid-fifties. "Ears"Whitworth, the Alabama coach from 1954-57 should be the leader in this poll, or at least co-leader with John L. Smith. Smith was at least "interim" but "Ears" had the job for it seemed like forever. He was...

That was the story. The game was tied and a soph QB (freshmen didn't play then) named Kenny Stabler was not the starter but was in the game late. Bama was very deep in Tenn territory with time running out. Stabler tried to stop the clock by throwing out of bounds. Trouble was, that was fourth...

Not only the cigars, but Johnny Majors as a player, and even further back, Harry Gilmer for Alabama. Saw my first Ala/Tenn game at Legion Field in Birmingham around 1950. Tennessee was the "game of the year" in those days. During the mid-fifties Bama couldn't beat anybody, even with Bart Starr...

I suppose the different approaches to internet posting is more of a generational thing.

This Bama fan is an old "geezer" who remembers the times when there was more respect and less rancor between teams, especially between UA and the real UT. The series has been one of cycles, we win X in a row, then you win X in a row. Also periods when it was give and take. The thing I've...

According to Economic reports, last year Alabama ranked #1 in athletic department profit, with just over 31 million. Penn State was next and Texas was down the list a little way, but in the top ten. Tennessee's profit was almost last in the SEC with just over 14 thousand (not million). This was...

While I never think we will lose, if we win this game it will not be because we "wear down" the LSU defense in the fourth quarter. This team is as deep as Bama, and substitutes frequently on the defensive front with quality depth. You "wear down" teams with good first units, but less quality...

I saw my first Al / Tenn game in the late 1940's and remember the rivalry as between two schools who had a great deal of respect for one another. I miss those days, or at least the spirit of the rivalry. I cannot "hate" anyone who cheers for a different color than crimson, or coaches / plays for...
