You're right on the river. I figure a water wheel could keep your DSL modem going. The guy I was replying to lives somewhere in that giant wasteland of southwest Tennessee between Memphis and the Nashville metro area -- Tennesse's taint, basically.

It's not what "we want," per se; it's just that the USC-UCLA thing was so universally regarded as cool that the NCAA changed their rule about it, and the Tennessee-Bama game seems like a natural fit to take advantage of it, considering that we used to wear home colors in both stadiums back in the day. We're only asking to wear home orange in your stadium because the game happens to be in Tuscaloosa this year; if it were in Knoxville, I'm sure we'd be inviting you guys to wear red up there. This isn't us trying to get our way about anything; we're just trying to reinstate a cool tradition for a rivalry that's gone too moribund since the league went to divisions.

I know a couple of Alabama fans here in Atlanta who had heard the rumors about us wearing orange and red against each other, and who were equally excited about it. I'm sure they're disappointed too. I mean, ultimately the color of the shirts doesn't matter. It would have been cool, is all.

You make a good point. We'll see if you guys extend the invitation for us to wear crimson jerseys next year.

My understanding is that that was part of it; we weren't looking for this to be a one-time shot, but rather an ongoing renewal of the tradition. Somebody on here even claims that the offer is still supposed to be on the table for next year, although I have no idea whether that's the case or not.

Apparently that's off the table already, though, as Mal Moore's cryptic statement about it made sure to point out that you guys "look forward to wearing your white jerseys in Knoxville next year," or something like that.

Tennessee has the beautiful Smoky Mountains at one end, blues and barbecue at the other, and a growing major city with a huge music industry in the middle. If you took all of that out, flipped what was left up on end, and pressed its lips up to suck from the ass end of our river, you'd have Alabama.

Because screw you Tennessee, that's why.

What part of this are you not understanding?

Your weak-ass coach made this weak-ass request for a FAVOR from Nick Saban. Read that again. Did you really think he was going to relent on anything? Anything at all? He isn't giving you a damned thing except an ass-whipping.

You don't get to be special. You don't get to wear your home jerseys. You aren't playing at home. You are playing in Bama's house. And Nick Saban doesn't want to be your friend. He wants to dominate you.

It was an insult to even ask for his permission. You think this will help fire up your players? Nick Saban and Bama players are going to be fired up that you even had the gall to disrespect them enough to ask about wearing your ugly-ass home jerseys to their house.

You want to talk about how this jersey thing is supposed to be a tradition? How you want to renew it? We are going to celebrate the only tradition that really matters in this series: Bama stomping your snitching, jealous, Hee-Haw hillbilly asses.

And while we're at it: Saban has a point to prove about Bama being the dominant team in the SEC. You can't do to Bama what you did when you embarassed Florida. You can't take the ball out of Crompton's hands and run against Bama like you did against Florida. You won't move the ball on Bama like that. You can't burn clock against Bama like you did against Florida. There is no way to play it safe and keep it respectable. Your running game will be stifled for three-and-outs all day long unless you make Crompton play. And the Bama defense will eat him alive when that happens. There is no hope for your team.

Bama just told you and Kiffin to go screw yourselves.

Now Bama is going to give you and your coach the reality check everyone has been waiting for. The one Florida wasn't man enough to give you.

This was my favorite comment to the Bama article:

"Whatever color they wear, our defense will be inside them most of the day. Get ready for a thumping, Vuls. Gmac has been decing you into a false sense of security. Bombs away Saturday."

So McElroy has been sucking on purpose? What the hell does "decing" even mean? Priceless.

Notice he calls TN "the other team", he's all business. He runs the program like it sould be run. I hope TN can find something similar, would much rather TN be #1 than FL, no rivalry w/FL.

Yep, you'll never see players suspended for improper dealings with agents, stars suspisciously gone afishin' with boosters, or widespread abuse of the textbook policy under his watch. Sounds like a model program to me.

Nixing the cigar thing as someone quoted earlier was not Sabans' idea. Unless he is now working for the NCAA. The NCAA passed that resolution awhile back and it has been "officially" followed.

According to Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton offer still stands. Here's hoping Alabama accepts and next year we have a cool crisp day, the Smokies leaves a blaze in color, sky blue, grass green and Bama in crimson and Tennessee in orange

It's traditional for the visiting team to wear white jerseys and playing in Bryant Denny is kind of like playing at Wimbleton -players are required to wear all white for the sake of tradition. That's what happens when you play in a classy venue, Vols.

AL people think that? Well hell, it's gospel, much like the 47 national titles you so proudly proclaim.

Considering special teams is still a weakness for this team, Kiffin would open himself up to alot of criticism around here if he takes a 15 yard penalty to start each half...

Unless UT wins of course...

However... the 'BAMA special teams suck too! We gave up Kickoff returns for touchdowns in our first two games!!!

Last week alone, we had 5 kick returns nullified by penalty...
