I have had that same thought. Hard to really hope for that though, huh?

By searching for Vercingetorix and vomit, I found the post I was talking about:

During that week you hear all the bama jokes by the old men and everything and it looks so great seeing the orange and crimson in the fall at Neyland. The Florida game is just about pure hate. Everything about Florida sucks.

"One of those fun old college football games." "It looks so great seeing the orange and crimson." That, my friends, makes me shake my sad head.

That cheatfest that went on in Neyland back in 2002 alone is enough to make me hate Bama. Also, I used to really hate how they would get to play Florida in the SEC championship all the time just because there weren't any other good teams in the SEC West.

After not being able to make it to a game in five or six years, that was the first one I went back to. Sitting in the rain and watching that debacle just sucked.

Multiply that times 1971-1981 and 1986-1994 and you'll know how us old-timers feel about them. One of those fun old college football games, my arse.

For me personally, Bama is and always will be the #1 rival for the VOLS.

It's similar with our rival game. If a rival stinks for multiple years the students and young kids will start to focus on the powers of the conference. All they need is one mind numbing loss followed by the rival fans being obnoxious and they will come over to your side.

I'm 21 and I hate Bama more than Florida.

Its relative to who you coach against. IMO, in the 90's Spurrier had the best program in the league and Fulmer was 2nd. In the early 00's Saban had the best program and Richt was 2nd.

Now, Meyer has the best program and Richt is 2nd. I don't think Spurrier would have had the success he had, if he had been coaching against Richt or Saban in the 90's neither would Fulmer. Spurrier has the disadvantage of having to build a program to NC level at SC now. I think Spurrier is doing well recruiting and that will translate on the field. So will Saban.

I don't think the future is particulary bright for Fulmer or Richt now.

i agree with pretty much all of that, except that last line. coaching debate aside, neither GA or TN will be lacking in talent over the next 3 years or so...and with that it at least puts us and them on closer to equal ground with the talent level at places like LSU and FL currently.......it doesn't necessarily mean we're going to start winning all those games, but i'd say right now the next 3 years or so look pretty good to me. And Richt will be fine. the only thing he doesn't have is a NT....multiple division titles, multiple conf. tiltes.....

Considering Houston Nutt has been "saving his job" every other year by having an average year... he should be 9th or 10th. Les Miles has only choked with the best players in the nation and doesnt know how to manage the game well... Saban is a great coach but has been out of the league so you really can't rank him yet in my opinion. Same with Spurrier.. USC isnt exactly the premier of the SEC are they :p... maybe if this ranking was 10 years ago he'd be on top.
