So you don't know if the Alabama Machine is out to systematically destroy UT or not, but you do know that they are out to destroy Auburn.
This is heavily implied by this post.
I don't know that either. Apparently, I'm not connected to the "machine". Maybe it is. Maybe it will rain frogs today. I don't know. I've always been of the thought that I can still believe in what I believe in, and let others who want to believe in whatever they believe in be. It wouldn't be fun if everybody was an Alabama fan. It's the very premise of why I come here, for that matter. I've never minded the other side. Part of a rivalry is losing sometimes, and I have a sense of sportsmanship, so it's OK to be on that losing end if that's the way it ends up. I don't want to destroy whatever it is that you guys have. I don't want to destroy whatever it is that UT, or anybody has.
The bottom line with all of this is too many people with self entitled attitudes are on both sides. Some people can't deal with losing, so anytime the other wins, they cheated. Or the other side got a recruit one side wanted, they cheated. Somebody got paid. Somebody got a new car. Until it becomes a point that we've lost focus on the game, and it's all about the rumors and innuendo.
Like Snaggle said earlier; it just isn't fun anymore. If people on both sides took the time it takes to try and tear the other side down over sheer nonsense, and actually worked on themselves a little, this rivalry would be so much better.
