Where does UT-UF rank in the pantheon of SEC rivalries?

[unfrozencvmanvol]

There was a time, roughly a decade, (1992-2001) where the championship of the SEC East went through this game. Many memorable games during that stretch and some before and since. I think clearly the rivalry would rank below:

UT-Bama, Bama-Aub and Aub-UGA, but everything else is up for reasonable debate.

Not in the top 5. Too one-sided for that and not enough games played. Id put Bama LSU and the egg bowl above it in additon to the ones you named. And UGA vs UF

When is the last time the Egg bowl determined anything other than bragging rights in the state of Mississippi?

Not sure I can get behind The Egg Bowl, that rarely matters outside of the State of Mississippi, the other two possibly though Bama-LSU is pretty one sided, and UGA/UF, UF sucked before 1990 and we've probably played as many consequential games since then against UF as UGA, but I guess the sheer number of times those two have played might nose us out.

I guess i was considering the amount of hatred between fanbases. That matters a lot in terms of rivalry to me. There are a number of factors to consider. It’s difficult.

Iron Bowl
LSU-Bama
UT-Bama
AU-UGA
UF-UGA

Our rivalry was fun in the 90s when the stakes were high for both teams every year, but historically I think it falls outside the SEC’s Top 5.

I have to say that playing the cocktail party in the Jags stadium kills the vibe of that game. I know it’s traditionally played there but there’s no soul to these NFL stadiums and they don’t get loud. It’d be way more intense if it was played on campus.

 

[Nationdom]

1. UT vs Bama
2. Bama vs AUburn
3. Georgia vs Auburn
4. UT vs UF
5. UGA vs UF

Out of curiosity have you ever been? It's got an interesting vibe all around, it feels like a bowl game. A bowl game where everyone gets as drunk as they can.

No, i would like to. I’m sure it’s better in person. I can only go by what it’s like watching on TV. Nothing “pops” about it. Just seems kindof boring played at a neutral site NFL stadium with a neutral 50/50 crowd. I still think its an important rivalry and game obviously with a lot of history.

A judge I clerked for many moons ago was a UGA fan and when I passed the bar he offered me one of their tickets so I went down there with he and his family. It was a pretty wild atmosphere outside the stadium. I see why the fanbases are reluctant to give it up, but the in game experience is not as intense as visiting an opponent's home stadium.

Texas Oklahoma and Texas Texas am will soon surpass it. I feel like it’s above Florida Georgia but below the Egg Bowl; in state helps a lot to me.
I’d have it before several other rivalries if we’re counting rivalries between one SEC team and an out of conference team

Hey I’m a 3L attempting to clerk for a judge right now

It's good experience, learning how a court works. Takes away some of the mystique of it and let's you get more comfortable sooner.

Yes, I interned for this judge the summer after 1L year, and enjoyed it greatly

A lot of these traditional SEC rivalries are going to get blown up when the schedule changes next year (i think?). It sucks.

I have made this comparison previously and will do so again.

The Steelers-browns is a rivalry. Just because it’s been one side doesn’t matter.

The patriots-colts was nice while Brady was in New England and manning was in Indianapolis. But, now that they are gone, it’s not a rivalry

I wish it was roughly a decade ago.

I agree with this.

Depends if you're talking historically (last 50 years) or now. Historically, I would fall in line with several others on here who have this list, although perhaps in a different order. You can tell they're important when you know who's playing by the name.

Iron Bowl (Bama v Auburn)
3rd Saturday in October (Bama v Vols)
Cocktail Party (UGA v Gators)
Deep South's Oldest Rivalry (UGA v Auburn)
First Saturday in November (LSU v Bama)

I’ve been to the game, and this similar to my experience. IMO, the stadium isn’t the issue, the 50-50 crowd is the issue (which I think you are getting at in your post).

Kills it for who?

 

[Tman44]

SEC:
Iron Bowl
UT/Bama
UGA/Auburn (pre mid-90's) now UF

National:
Army/Navy
UM/OSU
Texas/OU or USC/ND

For me watching on TV. There are plenty of games where i can feel the intensity of the game remotely, and it seems almost like i’m there. UT/Bama last year was like that.
