It blows my mind how many Vols "fans" are really more SEC fans than anything. YAY, Let's cheer for another team to win and steal our recruits!! Because we're in the same conference and we still look good, woohoo!! Dur Dur Dur!!! If you cheer for anyone other than Tennessee, I repeat, you are not a true Vol fan.
When Bama takes the field, i want to see every one of their players wearing extra large Depends because of debilitating diarrhea. I want to literally see the crap fly every time a Texas player makes a tackle. I want to see the refs have to wipe the ball off after every play and not because it is raining.
I want the Tide medical staff to have IV's full of Immodium AD and Kaopectate to rotate treatment between offense and defense after every series. I want the Tide coaching staff to call plays from Porta Johns along the sideline. I want those crimson uniforms stained dirt brown by the end of the first quarter. I want Fabreeze to be a sponsor.
Other than that, i am pretty ambivalent about the outcome. :good!:
Because it helps in the long run with the preception of our conference. Strong conference means the recruits want to play in the SEC; the schedules are considered tougher; and money from sponsors, TV, and bowls flow more.
If Boise State or other schools in that conference were to win the NC title every year, all teams in the SEC would suffer. Just as when the SEC continues to win NC titles; teams in other conferences suffer.

Just the fact, that we're Vols fans and not SEC fans.
You have no side unless you're an SEC fan first and a Vols fan second.
Bama winning I believe helps us in recruiting. I heard the same thing about UF last year and said the same thing. I have since seen quotes of recuits picking sec schools because of what the conference has become, they made special reference to wanting to play in this conference. If bama wins, this will help us. I mean when was the last time a non sec school won the mnc. If you want a mnc go to the sec, that is the message I hope bama sents to all hs recruits.
Exactly
after reading this thread i have decided to design, make, and sell SEC jerseys that have all the SEC teams logos and colors on them. I could make a killing on these SEC lovers portraying themselves as vol fans. I think as long as thier was just a little more orange, these sec lovers wouldn't care about all the crimson red and Gator blue on it.
Unbelievable... SCREW BAMA AND FL
