Lot of bandwagon Bama fans in Southern Middle TN so let them talk. It’s been a special yr for me as a TN fan and I look forward to another great Saturday.
FL- it took 30 yrs for me to see the Vols win in person. Last time was 1992 as I was a sophomore at UT. Vols win this yr!
LSU- Witnessed losses in 2001 and 2007 (SEC title games). I saw on TV but my son was there.
Bama- last win I witnessed in person was before Saban in early 2000’s. Same yr Inky injured Vs Air-
Force. Think it was 2006?
I will be at the game and watch the Win.
So I have confidence this team will break THIS streak.
My son and I attended the game in Neyland the last time the Vols beat Bama, when Bama's head coach was good ole Mike Shula (miss that guy), 16-13 win. 2006, my son was 12, he's 28 now. We sat in JJ, it was his first TN game.
This one...
We haven't done well with injured qbs coming back in a big game. See LSU, Clemson. He probably will not be 100% if he does play. UT knows he has a vernable shoulder. The undisciplined play on our part, crowd noise and the momentum they have. It will take our best effort as a whole to light up the cigars this time.

1999 when Tee took over their house. We were 5th and Bama was 10thThis will be an epic and historical battle.
My google shows the last time these two teams met while ranked within the top 10 was '96. What a year! Peyton's junior season. Joey Kent and Jay Graham were seniors. Bama was #7 and the TN was #6.
We beat Bama 20-13.
I'll keep it positive and not mention anything about Memphis or FL.
So, if Bama fans are a bit on the tweaky side, there is a historical reason beyond the fact that TN is playing much better football than the tide heading into this showdown.
