Title: On top of all the reasons that game was important, I think there is another Post by: 10EC on October 17, 2022, 09:29:54 EDT With the expanded SEC coming, we needed to make a statement that you do not mess with the 3rd Saturday in October. I have heard a lot of conversations since the OU UTx announcement that it isn't relevant anymore. All this "Pods" talk and possible alignments.
Tennessee and Alabama built the SEC.... period. You do not mess with that game. I think we put that to rest..... :nono: Title: Re: On top of all the reasons that game was important, I think there is another Post by: tshadow on October 17, 2022, 10:53:21 EDT It is a pillar of the SEC.

The most common suggestion of Vol opponents is bammer, vandy and kentucky.
If they do adopt that approach, it could be very good for us. We have had to play bammer every year at their absolute peak, which suxes.
