Alamaba vs. tOSU would be my NC nightmare
How bout this... UT and Bama open up the season in the top 5.. UT barely losses to Bama on the 3rd Saturday of October. We both win out and play each other in the SEC Championship at 1 and 2... UT barely beats Bama with a game winning field goal...Jumps to number 1, while Bama falls to number 2.. Setting up a rematch for the 3rd time in 1 year in the BCS championship game... Bama vs UT.. And we lose off a blocked field goal..
Would sucks absolute ass and the crazy thing is... It's not an impossible scenario
Notre dame vs. Ohio state IMO. Atleast alabama lives up to the hype every year. These two teams are in what i call the "social conference" which is the over hyped every single year conference.
This question, while not necessarily directly concerning UT football, is directed at UT football fans. There is already some buzz about USC and Alabama (or possibly LSU) meeting in the national championship this coming season. USC vs. Alabama presents some interesting moral dilemmas for us Vols fans. Assuming that UT doesn't end up in the title game this year, I have two questions for you all:
1. If the title game is USC vs. Alabama, who do you pull for? Kiffin vs. Saban? Kiffin vs. Bama? What the heck do you do?
2. What is your worst nightmare for a national championship matchup? Is it USC vs. Alabama? Or maybe another SEC matchup that pits Alabama vs. Florida? Maybe something else?
Not for me since Bama is my second favorite team. However, for ANYONE that claims to be a UT fan because of our long traditions of excellence, etc., etc. have to remember that we are a FOUNDING member of the SEC as well as Bama. Anyone of you that would pull for Kiffin/Pac Ten over the SEC just because it is our biggest rival are not fans. PERIOD. At the least you should just say you would want Bama or LSU for that matter to win because they are SEC and we need to keep the streak alive.
Turn in your "True Fan" card IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
No way bud....I will always pull for the SEC over anyone (except KY Jelly Basketball). Especially Spliffin/Meyer.
In answer to the questions:
1) I pull for Bama and the SEC. Got to keep the streak alive and build on the total NC's for the SEC. If you have no conference allegiance we (UT) may as well move to the Big Least and play a BCS game every year.
2) My worst nightmare is SEC losing it to the Puss 10/12 or to the little ten.
Not talking about rooting for an SEC team in the NC (although I don't subscribe to that school of thought. Just makes it tougher on us if an in conference rival wins the NC, imo) It's impossible for anyone to be a fan of UT and Bama. The fabric that binds the universe would be utterly destroyed returning everything back to nothingness. That's like matter and anti-matter colliding. It can't happen....
