Alabama-Tennessee thread

[BoylenOver]

This is becoming my favorite SEC rivalry. Before plans fell through, this was the Bama game I was initially going to attend, but things worked out.

Anyway, the first salvo of the week came when Alabama AD Mal Moore denied Tennessee's request to wear their home orange jerseys in Tuscaloosa this Saturday.

And I'll take any excuse to post this video:

See the funny thing is that most Bama fans really hate Tennessee, and dislike Auburn. mainly because Auburn fans are our brothers while UT are from a foreign land and they despise everything Bama. And they wear their gear everywhere, head to toe. I was at Carlsbad Caverns a year or so back and there were about a dozen Vols in their clothes.

I hate them because they hate us and they are trashy.

But now the Cyborg intended to replace Lane Kiffin has said that Bama is better than Florida. First, all is forgiven and I love Tennessee now, just as long as good triumphs over hillbilly by 2 touchdowns or more. Second, shouldn't he wait to play both teams to make that judgment?

So just to clarify, is this 9-3 halftime score indicative of an overrated #1 team or of a classic SEC epic defensive battle for the ages? Wanted to prepare myself for the media explanations this evening and the inevitable new SEC team to enter the Top 10.

Well obviously, it's just further proof of the depth of the SEC.

I'm enjoying listening to Rocky Top over and over.

Go VOLS!

UT probably deserved to win this game. They really outplayed us. But still, Roll Tide.

I have seen the final blocked FG a dozen times like everyone else now. Should it not have been a penalty of 15 yards on the guy that blocked the FG for ripping off his helmet?

SEC games sure are battles, I remember when UCLA pounded Tennessee in Knoxville. Probably a lot harder to man handle them if you are ranked #1 and at home.

It probably should have been a penalty. Tennessee's quarterback seems to have pulled his head out of his posterior and be performing pretty well in comparison to earlier in the season.

I watched this game on TiVo. Bama's redzone offense is pathetic. And Ingram picked one hell of a time to fumble for the first time in his career.

Thrilling. The Vols came to play. Both defenses are legit. There have been ugly low-scoring games in the SEC this year, but I think this was well-played.

LOL...I saw the same thing in Dallas this year (at Six Flags...another LOL). I kept wondering if they were playing Texas or something.
