I sense a lot of fake hatred for UT from Bama fans.
You are either real young or you just don't know us like you think. UT/Bama was the real rivalry in the first half of 1900's. We didn't even play AU until 47' after 40+yrs between the last one.
More recently we hated Fat Phil for turning us in on the Albert Means fiasco because he got out bid. I'm happy that we don't do that anymore but who likes a snitch.

Bama - LSU isn't a rivalry, it's more of what's called a "circle game." It's one of those games you pick out before the season starts and make sure that you don't miss it.

There was a reason for that you know.

I love the fact that bama fans complain about this so much and act like a travesty occured. Serves bama right, they did the same thing to auburn in the 50's
The UT rivalry is more about history, the auburn rivalry is about hate. But like was said, it does have some geographical reference as well

It doesn't matter how old you are to gauge the level animosity between the two fanbases. I've lived in Alabama for my entire life, and fully comprehend the magnitude of the AU/ua rivalry. And I know that for Bama there exists an obsession for Auburn unparalleled by any other school. Of course I'm not ignorant to the history of Bama-UT, but it's blatantly obvious where the real hate lies.
