Title: Alabama-Tennessee Football Rivalry Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 01, 2015, 04:31:20 PM What made their AD bring this subject up?
Quote Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart doesn't want to lose the Volunteers' permanent rival Alabama even if the rivalry hasn't gone in his school's favor the last decade. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2015/12/tennessee_ad_doesnt_want_to_lo.html Title: Re: Alabama-Tennessee Football Rivalry Post by: 2Stater on December 01, 2015, 05:03:38 PM He prolly thinks they'll be good enough to give us a run next year.

I would rather keep the cross division rival and add a 9th SEC game. That is not popular because of how difficult the schedule would be and the uneven home vs road games. I hate playing teams we pay to beat up.
