To our rival school posters here...

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

That is a tough one. Part of me wants to say Bama and then the other half says UF. Im gonna say I would prefer a weather delay with no makeup. hehe

Alabama.
With a FL loss, it helps UT in the SEC East. Thats the logical answer.

 

[UTProf]

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

Don't know about others but I'm cheering for Florida that game.

 

[joevol33]

Uga is one of the SEC teams I hate the least for some reason. Probably THE least.

I live about 45 minutes from Athens. Uga fans can be annoying.

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

It depends on the season...Personally, I cheer for whoever is the underdog. I remember cheering like hell for Bama back in '99 when they beat you twice but will be cheering for Florida now.

I'll be at the Florida bama game in 2 weeks with some friends. I'll be wearing all tennessee orange and pulling hard for Florida. Buck fama

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

I always pull fo teams from the west against our east rivals because it helps us in the standings. Well, not lately but traditionally.

Florida.
Cuz when we whip dey azz, hopefully Bama won't be in the SEC championship.

 

[Vol knight]

I never really understood why other SEC-school fans would come post on VN. I guess nothing beats VolNation. Go Vols!

Because this board is more friendly to rival posters than most other boards. For example, If you go to USCe or Vandy's Board and say one negative thing about them, you are banned from their board.

I will be rooting for the sinkhole under the stadium to be big enough to swallow up the whole structure. LoL only half serious.

[TennesseeStudVOL]

Only one sec school I can NEVER root for no matter what and that's auburn...hate to admit it but I hope bammer kicks their tail this year...also glad to see ky doing better this year, I guess cause they are always underdogs, but can't wait til we woop up on them!!!! GBO!!!

 

[GBO97]

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

You guys. Because buck fama.

 

[Madscientistvol]

I usually root for our rivals to lose unless it's against one of my ooc hated teams, which are basically Ohio St, USCw, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma. The VP at my company is a huge Sooner fan so I desperately want us to beat the crap out of them.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

Oh if only both of you heathens could lose.

 

[volfan4evr]

All you posters saying you would not pull for our rivals playing out of conference, sounds like someone that's been jilted. I view it as sibling rivalry in conference. I most always pull for the SEC to do well. Besides, it makes us look better when we win one of our conference games. This is not going to end well, I know, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

[gnm53108]

Ingrained in my DNA to root for bama to lose.

I agree with this. If SEC teams start getting rolled in OOC games, then we start looking like the Big 10, and SEC doesn't get the automatic strength of schedule nod. The conference doing well as a whole does nothing but benefit Tennessee.

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

If Tennessee were in the east race I'd have to go bama but as of late gators.

 

[golf437]

I never root for Bama, Florida, Georgia, Vandy etc....

They can live with that.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

What about when Florida plays Alabama?

Neither. I just like to watch them beat up on each other and then come on VN and make fun of which ever team lost.

 

[Wizard of Orange]

With very few exceptions, I root for:
1. SEC vs. OOC
2. SEC teams on our schedule vs. SEC teams not on our schedule
3. SEC teams remaining on our schedule vs. SEC teams already played

The above rules are best case scenario for Tennesse IMO as long as we are winning. The exceptions to rules 2 and 3 come into play once we've lost to someone and are trailing in the standings because of the loss.
It is all about The University of Tennessee to me - whatever helps us most in the present season.

 

[Gig'emAgs]

Gig'em & Go Big Orange!!!

 

[EconVol92]

I am 100% with Wizard on this one. As it only helps Tennessee Football look that much better.
