This is the storied
rivalry that dates back to 1901. No. 8
Alabama meets unranked Tennessee at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium. My beloved Bama is a 15-point favorite. The boys from Rocky Top are looking to break
an eight-game losing streak. The Tide
owns the series 51-38-7.
I’ve got my hate on
and the Vols faithful are dreaming of the time 20 years ago when a young phenom
by the name of Peyton Manning led them to a 41-14 whipping of the Tide and even
sang “Rocky Top” with the band.
I’ve gotta say that
is one awful song. “Once I had a girl on
Rocky Top. Half bear, the other half
cat. Wild as a mink, sweet as soda
pop. I still dream about that.” I guess with all the ‘shine those boys drink a
gal that’s half bear, half cat is a pretty good catch in Tennessee.
Yep, the Vols are
bragging about whipping Georgia before their bye week, but don’t forget we
mauled the Dawgs in the Rain Bowl in a most convincing manner.
My boys are champing at the bit to continue the tradition
started by Bear Bryant of lighting up a cigar in the locker room after they
obliterate those orange Cheetos.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
And since no football post would be complete with some
pom-poms, enjoy this photo of some pretty young things from Ala-by-God-Bama.
