Of course. And my Vol friends (Tennessee native) tell me Bama jokes and crack on Bama all the time, but I don't complain much about it. It's football. I'm just saying, this thread seems to be a bit of a stretch on saying ALL Bama fans are like this like many posters are insinuating in this thread. Of course we are little more mouthy these days. Who wouldn't be?
well i know that it isn't true,I know a Bama grad that pulls for the Vols,he is pushing 80 and will tell you he study under a oil lamp,so he could get into Bama,but I do think the Bama game year in and out is the best game in college football,it doesn't matter what the record is.it is a killer game
Mad respect for the guy. Im currently studying at Bama myself, though it involved no oil lamps.Hope he lives on for a long time, the world needs those hard workers. I love the Bama-UT game as well. I'm from Tennessee, so naturally most of my friends are Vol fans and so it means the most of any game for me. 90% are great guys, but there are a few (and they are usually the bandwagon or fans who know nothing about football) that tend to give the Vols a bad name, but I know better than that. And I know the same goes for Bama, its just annoying to see many fans lump Bama (or any fanbase) into one giant category of trash-talking trolls.
VOLS INC., if I am your version of a troll, I apologize, but I have seen much more volatile things posted on boards before and such stuff has not even been labeled a troll. I was hoping to enjoy a Tennessee board, but looks like Ill get run off before I get the chance.
Don't give up so easy dude, just bustin your chops. But know that you will always be hated as you should. welcome to volnation man.

Just for the record.
This board has been saturated with you guys latley hijacking threads, our patience has been exhausted, sometimes we can't even finish a conversation without you guys. Hell, look at this one and it's 2:00 in the freakin morning. Anyway, have fun on OUR board.
It wasn't so much as giving up as never really starting. I was merely defending my team, something I would expect from my Orange brethren to do on a Bama board if a similar topic were brought to the forefront.
Yea I'll go to the bama board to read what you guys are saying but never wanted to join. Can understand why you joined volnation and i can understand why vols fans join your board but my life has been full of bad experiences with Bama fans. SEE my first post and this:

Is the truest thing anyone has stated all night. I wouldn't lump you in that group though. NOT YET

I apologize for bad experiences, but it's never good to generalize. Large portion of me joining tonight has to do with putting off a test I should be studying for. I would be studying, but I sold my textbooks for the class (har har right?). Figure I'd throw it in before someone else did.![]()
the Mocs by 20 then ?Chattanooga, born and bred. Got a alliance tearing game this weekend. Bama vs. the Mocs. :cray:
Yeah,
You do understand that with Lane kiffin and this coaching staff and the way we are recruiting. that it's just a matter of time before we take over the SEC right? I mean top 5 recruiting class with a 5-5 record. What do you think is going to happen when we win the SEC next year? Monte Kiffins Defense when he gets his players. Coach O reeling these recruits in the way he did for USC. SCARY. Enjoy it while you can because soon not even sabans personal savior mike slive will be able to help you.
the Mocs by 20 then ?I'm glad you have joined the Volnation board my self,just saying Welcome and i do want to know if it is true that Bama was called the Red Elephants ? i seen that in a post somewhere on here and haven't seen my friends dad to ask him,oh and he all ways pulls for Bama when the SEC championship game is on the line or BCS standings are involved ,other than that he is a Vol fan LOL, hmmm are you the same way ?
Not sure how it took this turn, but I guess I'll partake in this discussion. There is talent there already. The depth isn't there, but Kiffin is working with talent right now. No doubt it will improve though. I look to see a vastly improved Vol team in the coming years.
Lest we forget that Bama has back to back #1 ranked recruiting classes the past two years, while we are currently sitting at #2 with a shot at yet another #1 ranked class. With LSU and Florida also consistently posting top 5 recruiting classes, and teams like Auburn, South Carolina, Georgia and others consistently recruiting inside the top 15, no one is gonna "take over the SEC". The SEC will remain competitive and it will be a fight every year for the championship. I hope Kiffin brings the Vols back into Vol form. I want the Third Saturday in October to have national title implications, and I have faith that it will in the near future.
Not sure about the Slive comment. But I guess there must be something I'm missing.
Bama to win in 8 overtimes by a 56 yard field goal will work for me.
As for the Red Elephants story, I don't know if the team was ever widely known as the Red Elephants, but here are a few stories on it.
