10 Reasons Tennessee Is Superior To Alabama.

Since it's Alabama Week, I figured I'd bring this old favorite over to what is now its rightful home.

1. We never elected George Wallace.
2. Bull Connor was never police chief of a major Tennessee city.
3. We didn't have to get run off our home field by USC to understand that integration was a good idea.
4. Auburn is in Alabama.
5. Dreamland wishes it could compete with Interstate Bar B Q.
6. We never hired Mike Dubose.
7. We never hired Dennis Franchione.
8. We acknowledge the Civil War is over.
9. Legion Field-The Rust Capitol of the South.
10. Last, but not least, we have long since come to grips with General Neyland's passing.

 

11. We haven't poisoned our rivals' beloved icons.

12. Rocky Top is wayy better than Yea Alabama

 

13. Despite the three year debacle of [ddiapos], no one has gunned down a family member over a loss.

 

14. Dothan

 

Way. Growing up in east tn, I took for granted RT's greatness. No longer.

 

Shouldn't Mike Price fit in somewhere after number 7?

 

I refuse to criticize a man for having an affinity for strippers.

Was great, but 6 and 7 don't look so great anymore.

 

I knew this was this place for me.

 

Went to Birmingham in my car, that road FUBAR'd my suspension so much, I thought about suing the state of Alabama for damages.

 

Kiffin went from one perennial top ten team to another. Franchi left them for TAMU

 

True, but Dooley has never had an affair with a secretary or bolted for a program with half of our tradition.

 

Can you criticize him for being dumb enough to put them on the University expense account?

 

Can you blame him for expecting they'd be covered? He was the Alabama football coach after all.

 

Magic handshakes from boosters are intended to cover incidentals.

 

That's Alabama DOT's design. It's supposed to help them collect loose change that bounces out of their flatbeds.

Seriously, is that not the worst interstate ever?!

 

OK - I am also partial to the Mike Price saga. There has to be more to that story than came out.
