World's most important CFB Rivalry this weekend...Tenn vs Bama

[Default2]

This is the most important rivalry that Bama has...even moreso than Auburn...or so I've been told.

 

[bamabear82]

Meh.

 

[NolePride]

Yes.

Everybody in the country knows it's on the 3rd Saturday in October.

In Tennessee everybody writes on their calender..."Bama."

In Alabama everybody writes on their calender..."Bye Week"

I did not.

 

[7Samurai13]

I did not.

Apparently counting isn't their strong point because it has been the fourth weekend 3 out of the last 4 years.

I will explain this for the uninitiated.

Auburn is like the crazy Uncle you invite to Thanksgiving dinner...You never know what he's going to do, it might get ugly, and nobody really likes him, but he's family, so you invite him anyways. There are probably a few relatives who decline your invite if he's coming, but most can at least maintain the illusion of civility.

Tennessee is like that son of a bitch who lives down the road who poisoned your dog when you were six and gives out Necco Wafers on Halloween, fuck that guy.

That's the kind of shit that happens with 14 team schedules. Takes a nice tradition and fucks it all up.

You didn't change the number of teams played each year. Apparently "3rd weekend in October" didn't mean shit to the SEC schedule makers.

That was kind of my point.

Although I fully expect Bama to go in dry, prison style this weekend, I would be great if they could go back to the
tradition of both teams wearing their home jerseys regardless of where they play.

 

[7Samurai13]

That was kind of my point.

They had no problem keeping Auburn the last game of the regular season. They probably never heard of "3rd weekend in October" either.

Some people hate Tennessee more, some people hate Auburn more.

I just hate losing to them.

3rd Saturday in October is the name of the rivalry.

But Tennessee decided it wanted to take bye weeks on the 3rd Saturday so we've been playing on the 4th instead. I think we've been back to 3rd lately.

Sorry for your rough upbringing?

They kept hearing how Alabama had a bye the third weekend in October and wanted one that weekend too.

The Battle for Interstate 10....UTEP vs New Mexico State...that is normally the only game either one wins that season.

I was trying to make that a jeopardy answer.
