Missouri borders the South
Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Oklahoma all share a border with Missouri..
You are too nice to be on this board.Put me down for "none of the above". Call me a pansy. But as much as I love pulling for the Vols, as much as I hate to lose, hate for another team has never been a part of the equation. They're just a bunch of young men who chose another place and are trying to do the same thing we are.
Since we are entering SEC play I thought it would be interesting to rank your hatred of each SEC team from most hated to least hated. And please don’t put Bama for all 13 spots, we get it - you hate Bama. We all do but make this more constructive. Here’s mine:
1. Bama
2. Florida
3. Georgia
4. Vandy
5. South Carolina
6. Kentucky
7. Ole Miss
8. LSU
9. Auburn
10. Miss St
11. Texas A&M
12. Mizzou
13. Arkansas
The Jesus Christ of Tennessee fansPut me down for "none of the above". Call me a pansy. But as much as I love pulling for the Vols, as much as I hate to lose, hate for another team has never been a part of the equation. They're just a bunch of young men who chose another place and are trying to do the same thing we are.
Thanks for the input....I came from a very large family and had 3 cousins who played football against Steve when he was at Science Hill and another who played baseball against him. Science Hill won the state title in baseball a year he played. He is very well respected in upper-east Tn. He simply didn't feel comfortable signing with UT out of HS because of the offensive scheme. I always loved Florida as a state and it's my 2nd home or home away from home. Just loved the beach and still do. I'm not a gator-hater as many on here and we're all different for various reasons.....I can't stand Georgia....Coach Spurrier is a good guy. He definitely took his shots at us, but backed them up. He also complimented us when we beat them . I think when we beat them in 2001 he said , “The Vols had a better run game than the Taliban.”
I had the unique opportunity to be around him when he was coach at Duke and it was always fun to be in his company . He could slug some Miller Lites.
I know I’ve shared this story, but it’s worth telling again. I sat down next to SOS after Duke had beaten an ACC opponent, my parents were friends with he and his wife, so we could back to the coaches office after the games. I asked Spurrier " Did you think we would beat Clemson (Duke beat top 10 Clemson 2 weeks prior)?
Spurrier talks to 6 year old me.
“Hell yeah boy. I knew we’d kick their ass.”
And then absolutely takes a beer to the face. Carl Franks was smashed.
Funnily I learned to respect the hell out of Spurrier because I just thought he was the best. Saban has surpassed him in greatness on the field, but I always respected Spurrier. He was an arrogant loudmouth, but he did things the right way (as much as you can at a major university), and his kids loved playing for him. Did I hate him in the 1990s? To an extent, but I hated playing him.
I hate the idea of being surpassed as a program which is why I hate losing to UGA now. Even with the band dork, we beat them 2 of our last 3 and Lyle almost beat them the prior 2 years.
Brother, I love your state. My mom grew up there, her extended family all still live there.
Missouri is not even remotely a part of the South.
That big huge Gateway Arch in St Louis, that signifies the state's role as the "gateway" between the Mid-west and the Great Plains. It was the jumping-off point for Easterners (from Boston, New York, Philly, or Chicago) to head out West.
Southerners, when they headed west, they went through Texas.
Love Mizzou...but you guys belong in the B10 or B12, rather than the SEC.
p.s. Oklahoma isn't a part of the South, either. It is 100% a Great Plains state.

All others are evenly matched
Out of Conf.....1.FSU 2.N.Dame 3. Clemson 4. Miami 5. Penn St. I was at Neyland when ball coach bought his Blue Devils in from Duke. LMAO at him...that visor kept being slammed to the ground with a new twist... he made it a point to stomp and grind it in the ground at least 3 times. I just can't figger out why a grown man makes a spectacle of himself in public with a visor. I guess it's his trademark !!!
For me I would have to say my ranking would go:Since we are entering SEC play I thought it would be interesting to rank your hatred of each SEC team from most hated to least hated.
