Hatred in the Hills? I have lived in both Knoxville and Nashville and no one has ever called it that.

Didn't realize. Probably because my love for SEC sports is only about 12 years old.

What made you decide to follow TN? This has been the worst stretch in TN history. You must have someone in your ear… I don't think anyone could look at the past 12 years of TN/FL and TN/AL and think they are great rivalries!

UGA vs AU is a great rivalry . Not only is it the oldest rivalry ivn the South , it is probably the most competitive too , as the series stands at 55-54-8

And this is certainly a reflection of how strong the West has been the last 10 years. Go back in the 90's and it would look different.

What it is is a reflection of how uncredible Saturday Down South is. And my definition of is, is the gold standard.

No idea where it started but i fell in love with high level football and latched on. So much so that i had to get my bachelor's at UT. Ever since i enrolled in 08' i eat and breath everything big orange.

Just always hear about bama from lifelongers and had a few good friends attend UF. Once i got in though the games with those 2 just felt different. Unfortunately both have been pretty one sided during my fanship but I still get up to an extra level those saturdays

This list appears to be the work of some youngster who thought to include ancientSEC history all the way back to the year 2000! Serioudly this is not reflective of old time SEC hisitory with all the storied rivalries this conference has. How can South Carolina even be considered in any SEC "rivalry"? Georgia Tech has more history in the SEC than South Carolina.

Thought is was a pretty good list, lot of people are looking at this the wrong way. Rivalry games matter at a local level, That's why the Mississippi schools deserve to be listed high. They deeply care about that game in that state. It doesn't matter what we think about it in Tennessee.

I'm glad to have the three games listed, even Vandy. If we are being honest, Vandy is the only school that would consider us their biggest rival. Florida and Bama sure do not.

I grew up in West Tennessee and never heard it called that either. "Hatred in the Hills" sounds more like a new Hatfields and McCoys documentary.
