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

oh man this is an ugly rivalry. I've been to a bar in El Paso during a basketball game between these two and I swear the bar was divided 50/50

Important as in Butch Jones might get fired after the blowout loss?
You are convincing me that Alabama might take a dive and only win by 10 so that Butch can keep his job.

It would be a smarty move by Saban. And I took the game in the You Suck Pick Ems, so that normally means the underdog keeps the game much closer than expected.

I'm starting to think I should change my pick :L

So instead of losing by 40, we only lose by 35? HUZZAH!!

Even when I was more interested in the Big 8 and SWC, I always heard of the Iron Bowl...never heard of a game between Tenn and Bama as anything other than a game. Being more attuned to the SEC now, I understand that each school has multiple rivalries, but I would consider most of them minor in nature. Just My Opinion.

Now the RRSO.....THERE is a rivalry...

Maybe it's because Texas has been down for so long now, but the RRSO has been pretty meh to me for a while.

Georgia has 4 rivalry games a year, and all of them are pretty heated.

It's a decent rivalry. Both have had long win streaks against the other.
I now it's a rivalry because I had a friend growing up who's family were big Vols fans. They always talked about The Bama game. The bar in their house was a Vols shrine. Bama was on a long streak at that time ('70s), but the Vols had beaten them from '67-'70.

This game will be a disappointment to me if Tennessee has anything other than a big 'ol fat goose egg next to their name on the scoreboard.

Unless we go over 60 again, then they can have a field goal.

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.
I'm standing in line right now at the grocery store and my wife asked me to grab a sleeve of Necco wafers. Further proof Michigan fans are fucked up.

Uggh...they are like flavored chalk...one of the flavors is even clove...clove, ruining hams since your Grandpappy was in short pants cloves. Sadly they've been making the nasty things since before the civil war...which explains why my Grandmother liked them...she's been dead twenty years, lived to be 90 and Necco wafers were 60 years old when she was born. Shit, they aren't your Grandfather's candy, they are your Grandfather's Grandfather's candy.

The same company also makes Mary Janes and Sweethearts, they are the scourge of trick-or-treaters everywhere.

This does look like a competitive game. Then some damn fool is going to kick off the ball and ruin all the competitiveness.
