Tennessee's oldest enemy Alabama
say what you want about the two schools, but knoxville is a sewer compared to nashville, and i have lived in and loved both cities
And you're pretty much a nitwit.This. I live just outside of and work in Nashville. Knoxville isn't a "nice" city, in comparison. It's not a bad place though, but Nashville is a pretty decent city, so long as you stay away from certain areas - as is the case for any large city in America (except Memphis, it's pretty much bad everywhere)
From my take as an outsider, based on what I've seen on these boards I'd rank them this way:
1. Bama - just a long time rival. This seems to be a "True" rivalry game to me. Our equivalent would be the beavs.
2. Vandy - Seems to fit the rival theme as well. This seems more like a hate than a rivalry. Our equivalent would be the puppies.
3. Florida - I don't understand this "rivalry", of course if they weren't in the SEC you'd never see them outside of the state of Florida except for a bowl game. Worst traveling team in the SEC.
4. Georgia - similar to Florida in my opinion. They remind me of UCLA, great "rankings for recruiting" that don't translate to championships very often. Basically, biggest under performers of the two leagues.
5. LSU - Not sure why they aren't higher on Tenn fan lists.
As far as I'm concerned, when I think of the SEC's "storied" programs I think of Bama, LSU and Tenn.

What's not to understand about UF and UT being divisional rivals for the past two decades?
I disagree about our fans being the worst traveling team in the SEC, however post-Tebow UF fans don't travel as well as we used to.
A few years ago, I was in New Orleans on business the Thursday and Friday before Florida played LSU at LSU. My first impression of Florida fans was "My GOD what UGLY colors!!!!!!"
The only people that should be allowed to wear those colors should be golfers over the age of 80 with cataracts
I don't take Vandy seriously, their fans are so funny. You cannot talk trash if you have beat a team 2 times in 30 years. It is stupid, just be grateful for the win, like the UK fans were. They knew it would not last. I would say Bama, because of all the bandwagon fans that have no respect for TN, even though TN has beaten them more then any other team. They think TN is like Vandy, because they are clueless about the rival...the Bama fans that have endured the bad years I am fine with.
