Uhh, no.  Tennessee got off easy in any and every era.  It's bullshit.

Dumb AF.

You're right, UK and Vandy are perpetual threats.

Vandy is more dangerous than Florida.  So there is that.  

Guess we didn’t dodge the bullet after all. 

Long live Sunbelt Billy.

Back up and take a wider view, friend.  

Vandy + Kentucky's 4-year record will be better than ________'s and ________'s.  

Fill in the blanks with another pair anyone else faces.  I'll hang up and listen.

Hello, 911?  I’d like to report a murder. 

OAM woke up today and chose violence.

I don't really understand what the controversy is.  Anybody, whether it is Tennessee or Alabama, who gets two of the historically weakest SEC teams as their "Perma-Rivals" should just own up to it and be happy.  Vanderbilt....probably the worst team historically in the SEC.  We can look up the records easy enough, but I don't think we need to.  They're OK this year, but c'mon.  Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining. 

Kentucky can have good and great teams at times, but as far as I know they've never won the East Division, and have not won the SEC since the 70's.  FFS they've lost 16 straight to Georgia.  

I'd wager, worst teams in the SEC year in and year out over the last 30 years..in order...Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Miss State, Ole Miss, Arkansas.  And Arkansas HAS in fact won the West division at least 3 times that I know of, while Miss State has won once.  Ole Miss has never won.

Don't read, or can't read?  Or slinging shit is just more fun?

Let's get one thing straight.  On a college football board, slinging shit is always more fun.  

Don't act like you didn't try to defend the picks just a few posts later and say that Vandy and Kentucky were harder than Florida.  We can dig up those receipts too.  

I think it was discussed, multiple times by various parties, that it was questionable why out of all the rivalries UF/UT did not make the cut while somewhat lesser rivals did.  And given the UF/UT record over the last 20 or so years, I think I'd be furious if I were a UT fan that you couldn't scratch back some of that lopsided record vs Florida, while it looks like UT is trending up and Florida is at best treading water, and possibly staring down another decade of mediocrity.
