Title: Re: Poll: In favor of SEC expansion at the expense of losing the UT-Bama rivalry? Post by: pmull on October 17, 2011, 08:54:57 AM I voted no. I would hate to lose the UT game. When UT is good this is a great rivalry that gets national attention. Until the 80's this game was much bigger than the barn game. It looks like expansion is going to happen whether I like it or not. I say ship the barn to the east and keep the UT rivalry.

I can remember back in late 60's and early 70's when we use to go up on Cheaha Mountain so we could get the game on radio and listen to it. The sceneic pull-off up there would be covered with cars with 4 or 5 radios blaring the game. The 2nd half there would be another set of radios blaring. Those are rivalries we all will never forget and they aren't worth some other team having the pleasure of playing in the SEC. RTR!

Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 17, 2011, 02:26:35 PM My first memories of Alabama football came listening to John Forney call the Tennessee games with my dad on a transistor radio. Keep the Vols, keep the barn. Part of college is pulling for your team and hating on your rivals.

Despite the fact the Viles have, well, sucked the last several years, when they are good and the Tide is good, its one of the best rivalries in the country. What I find funny is that there are currently 31 percent voting yes. Seems like a high percentage. I guess many Viles are sick of getting the crap kicked out of them every year and would prefer it only happen every seven years or so.
