Re: Does ITAT Have a " UA Dub " ?
What happens if you have a degree from both schools and, while you enjoy and respect the heck out of the Iron Bowl and the passion that comes with it, you prefer to focus your hate on Tennessee and Georgia? Death by firing squad?
Tennessee has always primed AU to me, but that's because I'm
old...
Amen! As a fellow "old guy" UcheaT will ALWAYS be "my" #1 Alabama rivalry - I don't care if we beat them the next 100 times we play them, it will never be enough as far as I'm concerned. And I feel that way because they EARNED my disrespect by what they did to us in the 1990's with the Fulmer witch-hunt.
I find it doubly tragic, because back "in the day" - before phil foulmer - I had a TON of respect for the Tennessee program, and I always thought it was a mutual respect that was shared by many of their alums.
As for the barn, I've never been able to muster much "respect" for anything going on down there with their athletic programs. So yea, I really "Hate" to lose a game to them in any sport, but mostly because I find their sports programs to be beneath contempt.
My prediction is that the Tenn rivalry will start to heat back up for the younger fans in about 2-3 years......
