Alabama Rivalry Survives!

Wow that's some years of experience. Correct me if I'm wrong but after a tie in the 60's Bryant kicked in the door to the lockeroom and stated "a tie is like having to kissing your sister".

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 down. Coach Bryant wasn't thrilled, but never publicly blamed Kenny, who went on to be a great QB. Coach's public comment was, "I'm supposed to coach them better than that."

The game ended in a 7-7 tie (1965)

Thanks for clearing that up. Alot of history between the two, it's not the iron bowl nor is it OSU/UM but a rivalry that has stood the test of time.

IMHO the Iron Bowl is right there with Bama UT....osu and UM aren't even in the same country code with those two. Another Rivalry that is in the south that is big is FL and GA and FL and FLSt. Why it would be good to get FLSt in the SEC. FLSt and VT in the East and punt Mo to the west. The East would be wicked!

Night guys, cya in the morning. Just remember, we all argue amongst ourselves, but to the outsiders, we are strong. You want to talk about The UT, the you better be The UT. Peace out and see you in the morning!

I have been to TN , mts are about all you got there, they are pretty. Don't care for all the hill people, and cant understand ther country accents. Nashville is nice, but west of that, you might as well be in Arkansas.
