I stand corrected. Tennessee had 2 unbeaten streaks of 6. 1948-1953 with 2 ties and 1955-1960 with 1 tie. The two 4 game streaks, were all wins.When were the six game streaks?
They'd have to trade with someone.Until the Trustees decide to compete on a national level, Tennessee should go the way of Kentucky & Vanderbilt and play Alabama occasionally. The annual game has turned into a joke because Tennessee has chosen not to compete even on the level of Auburn or LSU (both beat Bama on occasion).

Every SEC East school has a "rival" with an SEC West school.
Florida-LSU
Georgia-Auburn
Tennessee-Alabama
Not sure about the rest...
Vanderbilt-Ole Miss?
Kentucky-Miss St?
South Carolina-Texas A&M?
Missouri-Arkansas?
Nobody's going to want to trade with Tennessee.
So you are a quitter. Only thing worse than a troll.Dude I’ve despised Bama more than any other team and that’s the one team I want to beat more than any other I was raised that way. It’s just depressing to see the state of this game now it’s a hopeless feeling like we will never beat those guys again or even make them sweat to beat us. They out recruit us 10 to 1 and even take our best players thru transfer. It’s a very frustrating feeling to be treated like Vandy to those guys now and in another league. It’s like if we can’t step it up soon and this administration can’t dedicate themselves to making our football program better and nationally revelant again then it’s like what’s the point. I just want a SEC contending Tennessee football team again is that too much to ask?
. Lol we aren’t beating SabanAs long as one team is smoking cigars after the game, it matters. Saying it isn't a rivalry anymore is a false argument. Even if it has been a lopsided outcome as of late. Let Tennessee beat Saban in the next year or two and all you will hear from the media is about the Tennessee-Alabama rivalry. If any of you don't want the game, go watch something else.
Yes I would. In the same way that I didn’t enjoy watching us beat the crap out of Vandy year after year after year. I was glad we won the games but it was boring and pretty meaningless outside of it being a conference win. Getting our brains beat in is only part of the reason I’d like to stop playing them every year. It’s mostly because id like to see us play A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, ect more than we do.Would you feel that way if UT was kicking Bama's a$$ every year?
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and felt the same way back then. But since we dropped Auburn for the sake of alignment I no longer value the Bama game. If we are going to play games based on history then we should play Carson Newman, Maryville, UNC, Duke, And especially GaTech every year.We should always play Alabama, its too historically rich a rivalry to give up on.

It is not going to happen. UT is about to get nailed for using the same tactics that Bama does to buy players. Until the other 13 teams in the conference make Bama play by the same rules things are not going to change. There are too many needy kids in middle and west Tennessee that need the money and go to Bama. And then you have the handlers.Can't beat them; so let's not play them....How bout UT build a team that can beat them. All roads to an SEC championship lead through Alabama.
