Tennessee fans explain

[Vols4life]

Some of you are pulling for/cheering for bama our most hated rival in the NC game I would like to know why?

Growing up you're taught to hate bama...where along the lines did it become okay for some of you to change your mind on this stance?

If bama was on fire I would celebrate and throw more gas on the fire...I wish FREAK or one of the mods would find that "I hate bama post" from a few years back and a lot more people got to read that post it was one of the best posts in the history of volnation.com

The best way I can explain it is this: I may fight my brother, but if anyone messes with him then they've got us both to deal with.

It's how I view the SEC. We all kick, fight, and bleed against each other but when anyone outside the conference comes calling, then it's us against the world!

I'm with you. What SEC fan would root for ND?

 

[SlirtDinger]

When it comes to bowl season I always cheer for the SEC.. No matter what team it is!!

 

[VolNuke]

I hate the Media bias against the SEC.

 

[bigtime]

Best case scenario. Miami breaks off into the ocean during the game.

 

[aredfox28]

I will cheer for any SEC team during bowl season and when they are playing ooc game.. plus i hate notre dame with every inch of my soul...

 

[rkw38]

I hate Notre Dame equally if not more than Alabama. Notre Dame is the only team over which I would root for Alabama.

I wish both teams could lose.

 

[Candlebox]

I HATE Bama. I HATE the Irish Choir Boys. If there was a way for both to loose I'd be super happy. But since that's not a possibility, I still won't pull for Bama, but I will pull for the SEC

 

[zjcvols]

I don't cheer for coaches that recklessly put 20 year old interns on a tower in dangerously high winds, and then that ends up killing the kid.

So Bama it is.

Buck Fama!

What everyone doesn’t realize is this... Every time we pull for an SEC team to win another NC, or to win another bowl game... that is one more 4 or 5-star recruit Tennessee misses out on. We are pulling for the very teams we recruit against every year, yet we wonder why we can’t close the gap between us and them???

It’s the dumbest notion ever. Look, I’m proud to be in the SEC, and there was a time where I did pull for the SEC over whoever else... but that was before we’d won 6 in a row. Everyone in the whole damn nation knows we have the best conference, we don’t need Bama to win another championship to prove that...

Another truth is that when your team sucks like the Vols do.. we tend to pull for the SEC because we have nothing else to be proud of, nothing else to hang our hat on... The truth is, the longer Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Florida, etc... continue to go to SEC championships, win titles and win bowl games... we are never going to be able to close the gap.

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

I hate bama. But can you imagine if nd won? They would say the Irish dethroned the sec. Stuff like that. And every year nd is preseason top 25 as long as they are gonna field a football team. I'd rather pull for the cousin f'ers

 

[drgreear]

Because of "SEC Pride" durhurhur

 

[cwbytruckers]

Sec or nothing

 

[10PIRTLE10]

If you’re going to cheer for Bama in the NC, then don’t be the ***** that complains next year when they have the #1 recruiting class and beat our ass by 31 again... and you wonder why we can’t recruit with them or close the gap? Hilarious.

 

[trevols81]

I will add that I live in AL. So anything that keeps these mouthbreathers from celebrating another NC is good news to me.

If my brother was Alabama, I would just become Cain and kill Abel and be done with it.

 

[MVPeyton]

Being in Tennessee and SEC country, I don't have to listen to Notre Dame bandwagon fans run their mouths. I have to hear from bandwagon Bama fans all the time through text, facebook, and any other way they can find to be obnoxious. Also, my Vols don't keep losing to Notre Dame every year. I'm sick of Bama, and that's why I will in no way, shape or form be pulling for them in the title game

A lot of people should go read read up on General Neyland and his stance on Bama. Our fans today have changed a lot compared to older generations. I guess I'm just to old.

 

[B-HamVOL]

I live in Alabama. The only thing that would make me watch this game, is if Castro took Florida while the game was ongoing. I hope they both lose

 

[orangesox]

I'm all in with the OP! I'm not an SEC fan, I'm a Tennessee fan. The other 13 SEC schools can go straight to Hell. I don't give a tinker's damn who Alabama's playing, I'll never root for them under any circumstances.

And for you guys who are on the "SEC brethren" bandwagon, you're dilusional. Other SEC teams' fans couldn't care less about Tennessee, and actually find our current state of affairs quite amusing, with Alabama fans leading the way. SEC brothers. Get freaking real. Go Vols!

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Yeah, I hate em both, wish they both could lose ... but we regularly try to recruit vs. Bama and not so much against ND, so, go down, Bama.

Why would anyone pull for an (independent) catholic school from up north, against a southern team...?I won't get excited either way.....I just wouldn't pull for NO DAME over an SEC school...if it was VANDY, would you feel differently....?We STILL hate bammer, but I hated ND long before I knew about Bammer..:dunno:
