Hey y’all. It’s been a while but I’ve got a score to settle. I’ve got a buddy who is a die hard Tennessee fan. He’s trying to tell me that the Tennessee vs Alabama and the Tennessee vs Florida games are two of the biggest rivalries in college football and in the top 10 of all time. He says those games have decided the SEC forever and had national title implications forever. Meanwhile I couldn’t keep a straight face while he told me this. What do y’all think?

Oops. Premature post....
I don't think the UT - Bama or FUY - Fla game has mattered since the conference expanded, has it?

All SEC games are rivalries. Though often they are one sided.
"Just means more..."
Since they beat Alabama once, I'm sure Crimson Tide is considered the biggest rival for that school in Columbia, SC.

I live here in Knoxville and most fans are miserable. However, there are a few who still live in the 90's and think they are relavent. It's sad really. I moved here in 1994 and we were 13 years removed from our first Natty. It was easy to move on and focus on the present and hope we got better. It's literally 21 years since they won their latest natty and they still think it was last year and they should be talked about for the CFP. Most Tenn fans are realistic and are miserable and don't believe Pruitt will climb the mountain. But there are some that are just as delusional as the coots this time a year and think they are gonna go all the way because of this one player here or one player there.
In today's CFP landscape, you need a full team of guys that can ball to win it all. There are only a few teams out there that have that and I'm lucky we're one of them for the time being
Go Tigers!!!!!!!
