Most hated SEC Rival!

I'm a younger fan, and Alabama is far and away first on my list of hated rivals, with Florida a distant (DISTANT) second. I can't stress enough how much I hate Alabama.

I hate any SEC team that is NOT UT, but the hatred for Bama is on a whole different level.

I've heard people say that because they have beaten so many times in a row that it is no onger a rivalry.......BS! I remember when we beat Bama I believe it was 9 times in a row. Hated them every bit as much on the 9th win as I did the 1st. My hatred grew to a new level when they broke the streak.

As should be with any rivalry as old and deep rooted as ours....I respect the hell out of them for what they have accomplished and hope like hell we break their arms off and shove em up their backsides next time we meet.

I loathe Florida... grew up in Tampa, was the only Vol in my school. Went to Orlando one year when I was around 12, my brother and sister went to Wet n Wild while I stayed in the hotel to watch Heath Shuler beat the gayturdrs in a Monsoon!

It was Bama yesterday, Bama today and Bama tomorrow.

Not sure why this is a question and never understood why people thought it was UF in the 90's. Bama is and always will be our most hated rival.

Historically the bammers but I hate Florida a little more. My reason is that I'm 27 and growing up the majority of my adolescence we beat Bama, Florida was our Achilles heel.

I don't understand the whole young people dislike Florida more and bama is not that big of a rival. Should've polled this but I say it's bama in a landslide. Buck Fama

I'm required by law to say Bama, but they have at least earned my respect. Georgia infuriates me with every chance they get.

To me, the questions of who is the biggest rival and who do you dislike the most evoke fundamentally different answers. As someone who has followed the Big Orange for 46 years, Alabama has always been the biggest rival. I regard Tennessee-Alabama as, historically, the preeminent rivalry in Southern football. Despite that ugly eleven-game losing streak to the Bear, he had a way of badmouthing his own team and building up his opponent that you couldn't help but respect his program. Both Bryant and Neyland always considered the Third Saturday in October as the true measuring stick of their respective programs. Perhaps in the minds of Alabama fans, that respect has changed to a more deeply rooted hatred as a result of the probation that so many blame on Fulmer. If so, they need to remember that, without their repeated tendency to seriously violate NCAA rules, there would be no probation.

Florida, on the other hand, is the team that I truly despise. Spurrier, with his incessantly condescending comments, established a mindset that resonates to this day among their fans. I have no problem with their onfield success but, as old-school coaches used to say, "Act like you've been there before! Win with grace and lose with dignity."

As an old-guard program, Alabama takes winning in stride. Admittedly, I am not addressing the collective attitude exhibited by the multitude of bandwagon fans who currently support their program. Florida, on the other hand, exudes an arrogance and lack of respect that I truly despise.
