I got into a big discussion with those folks a couple of weeks ago about this topic. All I said was that it was a competitive disadvantage to play Bama every year. Then a group countered back by saying our losses to Bama the last two years didn't prevent us from winning the East. I can't deny that, but it is still absolutely a competitive disadvantage to play them every year.

FTR, I like us playing Bama, but it still doesn't help us.

As long as Nick is there we can't and won't beat them and if for some reason we win the East our prize is another azz kicking from bama.:banghead2:
 
Actually, if you go look at various sporting news sources top 25 rivalry rankings in college football, including one where the title of the article is "Ranking the 30 hottest rivalries in College Football right now," you don't see UT vs UGA or UT vs UF on any of those lists. You know what you do see on most of them? UT vs. Bama. Just saying. :whistling:

Yes media are always right. I've asked dozens of people all over the country and I've never heard anyone mention it as a rivalry at all let alone a great one anymore
 
Glitch if you could go back into your coma that'd be great

I'm on it buddy!

Funny. I was just talking to my neighbor's dad who is a Bama fan, born and raised in Alabama. And he specifically referred to playing us as a rivalry. He said it's always been streaky and he wouldn't be surprised for our next streak to begin soon.

I'll never forget that spin move he put on UF (Davis?) in 2015.

It was Antonio Morrison. And yeah that move was spectacular. Maybe the best of his career at Tennessee.

Later that game he also had another spin move where he spun out of a sack to find Von Pearson for a TD. That play was ultimately called back but it was one of the best moves I've ever by a QB to escape a sure sack and make a TD pass.

Dobbs was something special when it came to elusiveness.
 
What's up with all the slipping and falling on the preds game? I think the ice is in bad shape.
 
Butch has been frustrating so far but I'll always have respect for him. He's worked his ass off to get us back to some semblance of what we expect as UT fans. He's been unlucky with injuries and made some boneheaded decisions but I think we have all seen his potential too. I'm excited to see what he does this year. I think if he survives we sign a top 8 class and he starts to win big. GBO
