After some of the things I have read regarding the auburn love that is coming from the Bama side, I weep for the future of this "rivalry". I PROMISE that they will NEVER pull for us. Nor would I want them to. That is not what a rivalry is about. I'm not talking about AJ's decision, because he is going to marry a girl who was a big auburn fan LONG before she met him. He will have to make compromises now and going forward as far as that goes. I'm talking about this new generation of Bama fan who for whatever reason, does not seem to even want this to be a rivalry anymore. This "new wave" of Bama fans who probably weren't even born the last time Tennessee was any good, yet they want to declare them our biggest rival instead of auburn. I don't get it. I don't like it. I'm as old as planet earth, so I probably won't be around for too many more football seasons. So I won't have to see the Alabama-auburn feud continue to fizzle out until it's not a true rivalry anymore.

[QUOTE="MunchyOs, post: 839394, member: 18029"] After some of the things I have read regarding the auburn love that is coming from the Bama side, I weep for the future of this "rivalry". I PROMISE that they will NEVER pull for us. Nor would I want them to. That is not what a rivalry is about. I'm not talking about AJ's decision, because he is going to marry a girl who was a big auburn fan LONG before she met him. He will have to make compromises now and going forward as far as that goes. I'm talking about this new generation of Bama fan who for whatever reason, does not seem to even want this to be a rivalry anymore. This "new wave" of Bama fans who probably weren't even born the last time Tennessee was any good, yet they want to declare them our biggest rival instead of auburn. I don't get it. I don't like it. I'm as old as planet earth, so I probably won't be around for too many more football seasons. So I won't have to see the Alabama-auburn feud continue to fizzle out until it's not a true rivalry anymore. [/QUOTE]
