My hate of Tenn started during the middle 1960s; some classic games.  But it got worse after I attended the Tenn game in 1969. I was a Bama student, and we drove to Bham. My date then announced she'd forgotten her ticket (yes, I'd asked before we left; wrong purse). I paid some crazy amount for a new one from scalpers, then we got our asses kicked 41-14 by Tenn. That girl later married a friend of mine.  Didn't turn out well for him either.
 :tinfoil:

My kids and the young people I work with think I am exaggerating when I say that UT used to be a bigger rival than Auburn. I have hated UT for the last 50 years. I do not smoke but it makes me want a cigar just thinking about beating them.

(I was pulling for UT against Auburn last week.  :lol2:)

I started going to Bama games in 1993, and actually sat in the student section as a 13yo at Legion Field that year.  (My sister was a sophomore, and boy, was that a "culturing" experience for a young sheltered 13yo kid)  That year Tennessee broke a seven game winning streak by Alabama with a 17-17 tie.  I did not kiss my sister, but I understood what CPB meant.  It was a bad taste in the mouth.

I then went to 5 straight home loses to Tennessee, through the point that I graduated in 2004.  Neither my sister or I are allowed to attend graduate school at Bama and rekindle that bad juju.

I still do not hate Tennessee as badly as I hate Auburn.  I was also a student during Wingnut's run against Alabama.  These students today...so spoiled.

I was 31 in 1993.

 #+ CP I gotta give an e-cred on this one. RTR!

1973, I had a bet with my date that Bama would beat UT. We watched the game at her house. Bama won 42-21. I can't mention on here what the stakes were, but I had a smile on my face for a loooooong time.  :D

A friend of mine sent me a message on Sunday saying that it is, "hate Tennessee week."  I replied saying that I am an overachiever, I hate 10rsea all year long...

Doc, after reading your posts I think you should be barred from even attending Bama games...  :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was at that 17-17 game.  Last tie we will ever have.  Had it not been for the Deuce it would have been a loss.

I was a sophomore that year too.  Ya'll must have gotten there really early because we couldn't find a seat anywhere in the student section.  We ended up standing behind the end zone.  And as luck would have it, it was the opposite end of the field from where the Deuce worked his magic at the end of the game.  We had to listen to the crowd reaction to know if he made it into the end zone.  I think I still have that ticket stub somewhere.

:lol:
My date wasn't so gullible.  :lol2:

I was at that game (Bham).  It started with Bama kicking off into the endzone.  After 3 plays the ball was astride the 30 yard line.  Instead of the refs signalling first down, Coach Bryant walked out and asked for a measurement.  It was short.  Bill Battle stormed onto the field, and he got a 15 yard penalty.  It was all over after that.
 :lol2:

As I remember back then, anyone could walk down to field level at Legion Field and enter the student section from the ground, even though there were fences in the stands.  My future BIL and I did have student guest passes though.

I really laughed at his story.  My Dad swears he went to a high school playoff game a few years ago where when the home team had the ball the chain crew would spin the chain around the poles and make the chain about 9 yards long.

:lol2: :lol2:

I don't doubt it.

That game in Bham was on Astro Turf, so the lines were painted on.  I've always wondered if Coach Bryant knew the lines were wrong or what.  Otherwise, that was the worst call I've ever seen in the SEC.  I'm serious when I say the ball was astride the 30.
 :lol3:

Living up here in Middle Tennessee this is probably the most enjoyable time of the year for me but after Tennessee beat Auburn the trash talk has begun I really hope that we run the score up. Since they hired Pruit and beat a discombobulated aubarn the delusional  fans actually think  they will embarrass us in Knoxville  :stars:

Trust me; if Tenn beats us I'll tip my hat to them.
We should win by 3-4 TDs MINIMUM!

When they find themselves down by 25 at half, they'll go over and lie down by Smokey.  The only way I can see them really giving us trouble is if we commit turnovers in the first half and keep them in the game.

Their QB can spin it, but he was gunslinging vs. Auburn.  He may hit a few big ones, but if he keeps that up he'll have 3 INTs vs. Bama.

I look forward to going into the cigar shop on Friday and picking up a cigar with my roll Tide cap on 8)

Well I know is that donations are coming into our thrift store and a lot of auburn stuff is being donated. RTR!

:lol: :lol: :lol:  As expected I suppose... I would get rid of those dog mats too if I were them...

That stuff probably won't move all the shelves too fast, Preacher.  Better break out the moth balls and some storage boxes.

.....and the goat lube.  :lol3:

Or donate them to a local garage to use as shop rags...

All great ideas but we need the money to help the needy. RTR!

The needy have to change their car's oil too...   ;)

If Tenn beats us I will spit teeth for a week and only got 4 left. RTR!

I just hope they're opposing ones. 

 :tinfoil:

Their not and Jed Clampett ain't able to whittle me any new ones. RTR!

My hate for UcheaT is somewhat similar to Doc Lecter. Grew up watching us spank them all the time as a kid. Then I started at UA in 1996, and had to endure losing to them all three football seasons I was there (96-98). We even beat the barn twice during that time. I despise this team so much, and when we walk all over Rocky Top again this Saturday, I will be securing my cigar (its the only time in the year mrs. cbbama lets me have one!).

You've paid your dues, cb.  Enjoy.

Smoke one for me too, CB. I quit 25 years ago and swore never to smoke again.  :D

I've never smoked one and don't plan on starting.  However, if we beat them 98-0 then I might just try it once...

Will do. Like I said its the only day of the year (when we win) that I do it. And I usually end up coughing for an hour after.  :lol2:

It'll be worth it though, right?  :lol2:

Well now I don't smoke so please feel free to hit one for me. RTR!

I suppose a short cough is worth the price of beating the Viles.  :lol2:

Well, I have to admit that I smoke the occasional cigar with friends. But, Saturday’s smoke will be especially tasty with a glass of Disoranno.  :P

smoke em' if ya' got em'    :lol2:

Very tempting.  Just hope we win and everyone stays healthy.  We need a bye week.

Saban is tiring of the Rat Poison.

Yeah, we need some healthy bad. I hope we can play a lot of players tomorrow, so the ailers can heal.

Help us to heal and win big Lord. I call on you cause I know you love Bama too. RTR!

Just chew on one without lighting it.  That way it'll last through the many years we crush the Vols.
