Alabama football has crafted a few rivalries, but its matchup with Tennessee is one of the best.
The rivalry started in 1901 and ended in a 6-6 tie in Birmingham, Ala. Since then, we have seen legendary coaching matchups including Wallace Wade/Robert Neyland, Frank Thomas/Neyland, Paul Bryant/Johnny Majors, and Phillip Fulmer against Eugene Stallings, Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Shula, and Nick Saban. Both fan bases hate each other, and victory cigars are the form of celebration. We have seen some great games in this series, and Saturday looks to add another layer at Bryant-Denny Stadium. As we pay homage to the rivalry, we look back at the top five moments for the Tide versus the Vols.
