An interesting and amusing, yet insulting article written by the Bammers to get the hate week going.

Tennessee Hate Week Open Thread: The Historical Rivalry

Let the hate flow through you.

www.rollbamaroll.com

Read at your own discretion. A collection of cheap insults, snide remarks, a video from 15 years ago (I guess new material is hard to come by in Alabama) and Fulmer hatred (still butthurt after almost 20 years lol) are seen throughout, yet one particular passage in the article caught my eye:

“Despite our similarities in many respects, we are a very different people from Tennesseans. And, at the end of the day, we believe we are a better people than they...no matter where we may have been born or live.”



As compelling an argument as that is, as Tennesseans, let’s look at some statistics, interesting articles and facts of note that I have marshaled below in about 30 minutes time:

So, there you have it, Bammers. I really tried to find some metrics in your state’s corner, but have failed to do so.

It seems to me that our neighbors to the south really do suffer from some serious delusions of grandeur. Luckily, this thread and post are here for them. Maybe one day, they will awaken to this reality.

Hate to do this but they beat us here

 

[DonDiego]

Got it, Tennessee is better than Alabama. We kind of always knew that. Now let's just beat 'em in football--again.

 

[Hulavol]

As some of you older posters may remember from our earliest days of the internet still in its infancy - we had a beloved poster named RobertNATL. He’s watching from above these days- but that dude posted all year long about his hatred of Alabama. We were beating them every year in that great decade, and no one enjoyed it more than him. In his honor, I hope “we beat those commie cheating bastards!”

Bammers probably think ranking sixth in STDs is a badge of honor.

 

[CR-vol]

I enjoyed it when Gauldin flipped off the Alabama fan on that day. Loved to see it. I know a lot of people here thought it was unsportsmanlike, poor taste or whatever but that's exactly what I think about Alabama and make no apology for it.

 

[DonDiego]

Lovely 2017 Alabubba..... 45-17. I feel so much better now that we got to flip them off while they kicked our ass. Is it possible we could fix that?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee is ranked 4th on the Economic Freedom index while Bama is ranked 22nd

You need to put this on the 'Bama fan site, you know, just for giggles and laughs.
