The following quote from an Alabama fan in the OP:
You can't say a word. When the expanded conference was being considered in the late 80s, Alabama gladly took on the most difficult program available (Bama obviously couldn't play themselves) - the best historically and the best at the time beside themselves. UT would be elite through the first 10 years of the "new" SEC. Alabama never said a word about having to play them, even during the unfair "probation" stretch where Bama lost 7 in a row because of scholarship depletion. So, don't you or anyone else say a word about Bama playing UT, as though Bama was looking for the easy way out. And why do you say "hmmmmmmmmm". There's not a conspiracy - it's just the 2 best SEC programs historically finding it appropriate to play each other annually. Neither have whined or are whining about having to play the other when things weren't going their way, unlike some programs who now do whine. Also, neither UGA or AU have whined about playing each other annually. Only LSU. Not even UF to this point. When has LSU ever lost the West because of losing to UF since Saban? How about never. LSU loses to Alabama every year - that is their problem. The unbecoming whining and pouting is just throwing dust into the air. Alabama and UT (as despicable as they are - there was great mutual respect before Fulmer) is just right.
Obviously this Bama fan has never been to volnation because we have a large contingent of whiney, cry baby fans who complain all the time about how unfair the world is that we have to play Alabama every year. Obviously these are kids who don't even remember any of our win streaks and clearly don't respect the tradition of the rivalry. I'm glad we play Bama every year. Bring it on.
