Ray Perkins just said on the CSS QB club that The Bear always considered the Tennessee game as the most important game on the schedule.
I think that's pretty well in line with things the Bear had said.
Everyone knows there's more fan interest in the state with UA/AU, but that's just a matter of mathmatics since both teams reside in the state.
As far as what has been most important to Bama, it has been beating Tennessee, and vice versa.
Since the 2 schools have split more SEC crowns than any other schools, it just makes sense that the two best teams in the conference would mean more to each other's success than anyone else.
Bear really loved this game.
Perkins is showing his age though. He refered to it as the 2nd week in October afair.
Bless his heart.
