OK I'm jumping in.
Tuscaloosa is a MUCH better place to watch a football game than Neyland Stadium. At Neyland brothers and sisters are always getting married in the parking lot.
45-38-7 against the mighty Vols.

38-33-1 against stinkin Awbun.
This year we will increase both those winning tallys.
Mark my words.

No, you're incorrect about brothers and sisters marrying each other outside Neyland. It's 1st cousins that get married there. The brother and sister weddings happen outside Jordan-Hare Stadium and also at Scott Field in Starkville. I've been to Jordan-Hare for a couple of UT-Auburn games. It was especially fun in 1980 when we beat them 42-0. I got several one finger greetings from Auburn fans that day. I've been to games at Bryant-Denny Stadium and at Legion Field. I attended the 1983 & 1985 UT-Alabama games at Legion Field. I also saw Bama beat up on some "bunny rabbits" at Bryant-Denny stadium. I prefer Neyland but I'm prejudged. Yes, Bama does lead the overall series but since 1995, Tennessee has won 10 and Bama has won 3. Alabama is my 2nd favorite team. I am for them every game of the season except one- Tennessee. On that day I want UT to "beat them like they stoled something". I actually saw Joe Namath play when he was at Alabama. They were playing a road game at Mississippi State. He was an amazing QB.

Yes it should if Auburn wins the SEC title game

In the SEC I hate Alabama, Kentucky, Tennesee, Georgia, Florida other than Tebow who has some class, LSU, and Vanderbilt. If I am leaving anyone out they aren't important or I forgot them.

General Neyland influenced many southern coaches of his day. His Game Maxims are still recited before every game. Bear Bryant, Pat Dye, Bobby Dodd, Frank Broyles, and many others patterned their football philosophies after the General. General Neyland is one of the few coaches that Bear Bryant never beat. If we were sitting around a table throwing back some beers, I'd love to tell stories about games I've attended and people I've met at those games and in my coaching career. Some of my best friends are Bama & Georgia grads. There were even an Auburn grad or 2 that I was able to tolerate. The only fans that I have trouble liking are Vanderbilt fans. That's a whole other bunch of stories as to why.

One thing that bothers me about present day SEC football is the animosity between schools and coaches. Until the recent recruiting mess at Alabama and Phil Fulmer's apparent involvement in the investigation, the animosity between UT & Alabama wasn't there. I don't see the respect between the 2 schools and their fan bases that existed before the "mess". I'm an old school guy and I remember when Bear Bryant, Johnny Majors, Pat Dye and others kept the peace in the conference and the respect was there. It was like a brotherhood of coaches. I don't see that class and character in the conference now. I the past, Tennessee & Alabama could play some of the fiercest, hardest hitting games and when it was over the fans behaved themselves. Now, I'm afraid a riot might break out after they play. That's not the way it should be. That's not the rivalry built by General Neyland, Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Bear Bryant, Doug Dickey, Bill Battle and Johnny Majors.

That really does stink. I live in Hawaii right now and like to go to games, but I hate the fighting even against little 1aa schools that don't matter. It's weird how people complain about the price of beers then dump it all out on someone. Rivalry is fine, but you don't have to punch or throw beer to show your a true fan.

One other thing and I'll shut up for awhile. I was fortunate enough to meet Vince Dooley, Pat Dye, Ray Goff, Erskine Russell, John Merritt (Tennessee State- coached Joe Gilliam, Ed Too Tall Jones, etc) and was in the same room with Bear Bryant once and almost got close enough to meet him. Of course, being a UT grad, I had contact with Johnny Majors, Doug Dickey, Bill Battle, etc. When I was around those guys it was special- almost like cold chills would run up my spine. I don't think I'd feel that way being around the coaches in the conference now. Maybe it's just because I'm older now, but those old school coaches were SPECIAL. I respected them and they were class acts. Not perfect men, but good men.

Looks like I started somethin'
Old Coach I saw Namath play in high school when I was 10 and he was at Beaver Falls HS. I remember it well. Classic Ohio "River Rat Football". He threw for 401 yds(ALOT in those days),ran all over the place and lost to my(future) HS somethin like 44-42. Big story in the Ohio valley when Joe didn't choose Penn State or Pitt. I was stoked for a 10 year old. I was already a fanatical Alabama fan. Joe became half a Great QB when his knee blew out in the South Carolina game. I also saw Ditka play at Aliquppa HS but i was like real young and don't remember much. But I do remember seeing him play at Pitt against Army and Duke and Penn State.
Last time I saw Bama was at the Rose Bowl a few Years ago when they got hosed by UCLA, and once in the LA colosseum in '77 when they beat the Toejams in a great Victory. Only game I saw in Tuscaloosa was an Ol Miss game in the early 70's. I really partyed at that one. Some day I'll get back there.
Rhino you are obviously a youngin and you have not been around long enough to have hatred tempered by respect for your rivals in the SEC. You probably root for the Other team when one SEC team plays outside the SEC,Si?.
Are you a Fredo?

Good night Canada.

I do think a little bit of the bitterness in the Bama/UT rivalry has eased over the past two years.

If Namath had the advantage of present day knee surgery technologies, there is no telling what his pro career could have been. He could barely run in his last few years in the NFL. I am also a big Kenny the Snake Stabler fan. When I saw Namath & Bama play Miss. State I was in the 8th grade. I don't remember much about the game except that Namath was awesome, we ate at a steak house somewhere outside Starkville after the game and I fell asleep on the way home. One other thing- Namath does a great sideline interview when he's "had a few".

Rich Brooks- are you kidding me. He makes me yawn. I'm not a big Phil Fulmer fan either. That's a long story as to why. I had a class with him at UT. He attended every class but never said a word. Bobby Petrino- don't get me started on him.

Old coach you are right on about the Old School. Its the money now that has screwed it up. Coaches are just mercenaries anymore. A large percentage of years The SEC has been the best conference in the country top to bottom. It is now highly competitive and has been since Bryant passed and Bama stopped dominating the conf.
I don't like Fulmer. I love Johnny Majors. What he did at Pitt was phenomenal. I thought UT blew it with him at the time. And Johnny Vaught. Can't forget to mention him. I was like peeing my diapers when Neyland had his great '51 team so i've only read of him. Neyland was great but the Old school innovator was a guy who started at Massilon,OH high school (started the tradition that every father of a boy born in Massilon recieves a football!), and I heard tell invented most of modern football: Paul Brown.
