I know we haven't made this much of a rivalry over the last 6 years but this is by far my favorite game of the year. I respect Alabama more than any other program and no other game do I love to watch more. I still remember Manning to Joey Kent on the first play in 1995 and I'm sure you all have favorite plays in this great rivalry. I hope we can make this rivalry more compeitive in the coming years and with Butch Jones I feel like we will get there in short time. Hopefully it will be a good game with no major injuries on either side and Go Vols!

That 2005 game was very memorable. We weren't suppose to win although we were unbeaten.

Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
The actions of your "brother" made this great football rivalry into a quagmire of lies and innuendo to the NCAA which seriously weakened Alabama for several years. Mike Shula helped heal some of the gaping wounds and Coach Saban has returned this very proud university to the pinnacle of college football.
That being said, remember our mascot is an elephant and we all know how long their memories are very, very long. I think Butch will learn on Saturday just how much work he has to do to make this rivalry competitive again. Come Saturday, Bama will be going for three shut outs and it is very possible they will accomplish this.

Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
Yeah probably would have won that game but our fullback Cory Anderson fumbled the ball through the endzone. Needless to say I still haven't gotten over that game.
Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
We have a rule against "teaser titles." Your title gives no hint as to what the thread is really concerning. Even something like "My take on the UT/Bama rivalry" would be an improvement...
Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
Despite the non-calls that allowed them to even have the chance, it was worth it for the soul-crushing stop and victory.
Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
I was with my wife in the stands. When the ball took off, I turned and said "I've never seen a ball do that before." Of course, unfortunately, I had the exact same thought in the AU game in 2010, watching MI's fumble through the EZ...
Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
Bah, I'm getting old, I was thinking of the non-calls on ut in 2009.

Yes it was, I never jumped as high as I did when he got hit by Roman Harper. Then 2009 came...

Ahh I was in boot camp from August 31st, 2009 to November 25th, 2009. So I have no memories for most of the 2009 season. :/

Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
Good grief I hate ut.
Fourth and 19! I still cannot believe it...Sadly, the 2003 Tennessee game was the craziest game I have ever seen live.
I will never forget that we somehow had 1st and 2, with one first down to seal it and we couldn't get it.
Good grief I hate ut.
Good post and here is to an injury free and good sportsmanship game, BTY you could have selected a better handle for this site.:wink:
My top five memories (good and bad)...
2009 - Rocky Block. One of the greatest moments I've ever witnessed in football.
2005 - Rocky Stop. Roman Harper will have free drinks on me anytime we ever meet.
2003 - 4th and 19. One of the worst gut feelings I've ever had after the conversion.
1995 - Peyton's Party. I knew then we were in for a tough stretch. I still have nightmares about his naked boot for a TD.
1993 - Palmer at QB. A tie was never so sweet.

Re: Tennessee vs Alabama
My second Alabama game I ever attended was 1993 when david palmer went around the end on the 2pt conversion to preserve our unbeaten streak. I'll never forget that game!
