If you’ve read my stuff over the last two years I have written for GABA, you know that Carolina is a fandom that came to me later in life. My formative years were spent in Alabama and my degree is from the state’s flagship university.
While Tennessee and Carolina are division rivals, there is no special hatred between the teams the way there is between our fans and say, Georgia. That hatred does exist, though, between Bama and Tennessee, so I have tons of friends from college that spent last week sharing photos of their favorite Tennessee fans in the wild.
