Tennessee vs Alabama

[House of Neyland]

Is Alabama-Tennessee even a rivalry anymore?. Yes it still is, and it will always be a rivalry. All streaks eventually end and this one will too hopefully soon. Go Vols!!!

 

[RockyTop140]

Bama fans still hate us. They will hate us even more when we finally beat them again. It’d be funny to beat them this year and completely ruin their playoff chances

and we hate them. It’s just what it’s. It’s like a war going on between us.

I think they look at us like there kid sister like we do Vandy, but i still hope be beat the hell out of them.

 

[House of Neyland]

I hate them with every fiber and being of my Tennessee fanhood. I hope we beat them again before my dad passes away I wish the team was healthier for the game this weekend because I think we could make it interesting with Hooker at QB

I’m 65 now. We haven’t beaten this team since I was 51. I doubt that we break the streak this year but I feel like we will give them a game, even with our depth and injury issues.
Go Vols!!

The 14 year losing streak just adds more to it.. Of course it will always be a rivalry, its' just hasn't been competitive for a while.

Put it on our defense. Throw everything at the young qb of Bama.

Good versus Evil is always a rivalry, even when evil seems to have temporarily taken an upper hand in the contest.

I want to make Eli Gold speechless for a full minute this week

This rivalry is usually streaky.

Absolutely a "rivalry."
Definitely not their biggest rival.
Besides Vandy, I don't think UT is anyone's biggest rival.

Ask 10 Vols fans who their biggest "rival" is, you might get 4/5 different answers.


Alabama: Auburn
Arkansas: Texas
Auburn: Alabama
Florida: Florida State
Georgia: Auburn/Ga Tech
Kentucky: Louisville
LSU: Miami Dolphins
Mississippi State: Ole Miss
Missouri: Kansas
Ole Miss: Mississippi State
South Carolina: Clemson
Texas A&M: Texas
Vanderbilt: Tennessee


Tennessee: Alabama, UF, UGA, Vandy??????????

15 straight isn't exactly streaky. AND bammer has had 3 "streaks". UT, in our time, only 1. . 8 straight.

he and tessitore are atop my shut-your-mouth list

 

[Bigorange123]

It’s the biggest rivalry in my soul. I’ll take a Bama win and lose the rest this season.

Gold can’t shut his mouth for too long though. His required caloric intake to maintain that weight is nothing to sneer at

A „streaker“ at the next game would actually not surprise me the way things go around here

We are not on the same page on what equals a streak I guess.

In today’s America, it is more likely for a midget to make an NBA roster than for a rich man to spend a night in jail

I’m 65 now. We haven’t beaten this team since I was 51. I doubt that we break the streak this year but I feel like we will give them a game, even with our depth and injury issues.
Go Vols!!

Well, I turned 51 yesterday so let's beat their ass again and get back back on schedule.

My annual (fall on deaf ears) rant. Don’t think we should play them every year, and if the conference divides into quads we should raise HEEEELLLLLLLL! Don’t want to hear all streaks end, don’t want to hear you’re just not man enough to play, don’t want to hear we don’t run from anybody. All these excuses has landed us in a two decade dry spell that hurts us as a program. Just my thought for the day.

I would easily take a loss to Bama and go 11-1 every year.

When Spurrier was asked about the FL-TN rivalry late in his career at FL he stated: "Is it a rivalry when one team wins all the time"?

My annual (fall on deaf ears) rant. Don’t think we should play them every year, and if the conference divides into quads we should raise HEEEELLLLLLLL! Don’t want to hear all streaks a.m., don’t want to hear you’re just not man enough to plan, don’t want to hear we don’t run from anybody. All these excuses has landed us in a two decade dry spell that hurts us as a program. Just my thought for the day.

If the TN v AL game gets messed with it will just about be the end of college football for me.
I would as soon lose every year than have one dirty S.O.B. bama fan call us chicken.

We were their biggest rival until about 20 years ago

 

[HooahVol]

Now that we know Hooker is starting I like our odds to beat the 25 point spread.
