I wish UT had a "primary" rival where it was unquestionable for both sides. In Bama's case, UT is pretty much Vandy to them these days. They have owned the series forver. Same for UF. Bama's main rival is Auburn and UF's is Fl State or UGA. You could argue UT's only "real" rivals are Vandy and KY (weve played UK more than anyone else and youve got the basketball thing too).
When we had our unbeaten stream against Ala, do you think it made us fans hate them any less or less of a Rival? Absolutely not. We will always be Alabama's 2nd biggest Rival and they will always be our 1st or 2nd, depending on individual opinion opinions. To me it's Ala then Fla. The TN/ Ala has been cyclical forever and it will away back to our side again soon. But I can promise you those winning or losing streaks don't change how fans or Players view a rival.
