In 60's we hated Tenn, Dickey becme coach in 64 and they became dangerous quick, held us to 7 points and a tie in 65 and beat us three straight in 68,69,70 with a shut out in 70.
My first Bama game was the tie in Legion Field in 65, hard hitting game and they were tough, hated em all my life,

Had Fulmer stayed in coaching you likely would see his face on the hall of shame along with paterno, briles, durkin, and Meyer for all the stuff he covered up. He would have been exposed nowadays because he couldn’t control himself from being the scumbag he is.

Actively tearing down another person/program in an attempt to lift yourself (or your program) up is not normal, and it is not acceptable. It is antisocial behavior, and it makes people want to disengage. The only way that it can survive is if the acrimony is directed at a common enemy. Right now, Alabama is the common enemy. So even bright people who would never act this way might fall into the trap. But it is a trap. This kind of behavior changes the way that your brain works. It allows you to make excuses for failures in other areas of your life.

TN fans hate Alabama because they are jealous. It really is that simple. But it wasn't always that way. I'm not sure how it got there for them, but until they stop making excuses for their failures, Alabama is going to continue to kick their teeth in on the football field, and they will continue to come up with external excuses for their failure.

I beg to disagree Sir. The dislike for Alabama TRANSCENDS sports. They hate anything Alabama save Gulf Shores. Don't know where you are from..but my bones will rest in Bama dirt.

Again I disagree. You suggest that the sport of football has created this environment. It did not. This is existed during the Civil War. I will say that Tide wins are part of the issue. UT fans believe themselves to be superior.

I was around during the early sixties. Nothing you can tell me about Bama vs UT animosity. Seen the best...and certainly the worst. Ever had your tires cut during Christmas season for having the word 'Bama' on your vehicle? I have. Recently btw.

Not sure what this has to do with my post, but I am not telling anyone not to dislike your rivals. Ask me how I feel about Michigan.

You seem to be trying to conduct a class in behavior tendencies. It has everything to do with your post. You used the word 'jealousy', and you seemed to believe it was about wins vs losses in FOOTBALL. My statements are based on living in the South for most of my life, and hearing radio announcers here in Tenn daily slam Alabama the STATE. I completely agree with your synopsis. Just saying that there is a rivalry that goes beyong sports. Been that way since early days EVEN though many of the original Caucasian settlers were native Tennesseans.

I had no idea there was so much hate between the 2 states going back to the Civil War since I thought we were on the same side at the time. I'm not a historian nor was I around during this time but I guess some are/were.

To me is was a HUGE rivalry growing up in the 80's into the 90's. Bigger to me than the Iron Bowl honestly.

It wasn't nasty and hate filled either but a matchup of the Top 2 All-Time conference teams.It was like Oklahoma/Texas, tOSU/Mich, or even Miami/FSU etc etc.

The winner often had the inside track to some type of Championship and the loser left playing for a lesser Bowl Game.

I wish the game could be what it once was but as long as Fulmer is around it will be a rivalry seething with HATE.

It's sad. I remember when it was that kind of rivalry. I don't think the current crop of fans (maybe not ours either) are capable of that clean rivalry any more...
