Exactly...there is no hatred like our hatred for bama. Im not understanding this hate for ND. I know they have beat us a couple times in the distant past but...????
Because I respect the hell out of Bama. The hate in our rivalry is fueled by respect on both sides. Plus, Bama fans were by far the most welcoming, gracious and pleasant fanbase I've ever encountered at an away game and that's the honest truth. After meeting some random Bama fans at our hotel the night before in '05 we tailgated with them all day and after looking all day for tickets we came back to the tailgate where they presented me and my buddy 2 free tix. Provided that we'd pay for the cokes during the game they'd provide the whiskey and that was our deal. After a hard fought 3-6 loss every fan I encountered was still gracious and not the least bit obnoxious. My hate for Bama dissipated that day.
We don't recruit against the Irish, we recruit against bama. 95% of Vol fans pulling for bama are under the age of 28. If you were a little bit older, then you would know that Vol fans HATE bama and everything they stand for.
Just throwing that out there for the older crowd that hears me.
Isnt it in our best interest for SEC teams play in and win as many bowl games as possible. Dont we get a cut of the money earned by teams playing in bowls? I would take the money and put it towards paying the buyout of the last staff.
