haha great read.
I have a problem though, I really don't hate Alabama. Granted, I really only started to become a Vol fan when I started school at UT in alt 4, but my hate has really only been vested in Florida, and to a lesser extent Kentucky and Memphis because of Bball. I actually find myself pulling for the tide subconsciously when I watch them play other people, and I think its because I want them to be good enough to beat Florida. I think I don't hate them because I respect their style. Saban's team plays hardnosed tough football with great defense and a tough running game... the way football should be played, not a gimmicky offense with an unnatural hulk at QB.
In short, I need some help remembering why I hate Bama so I can enjoy this week and our win as much as everyone else on Saturday.
