What fans are saying about SEC rivalry week on Twitter
Rivalry week is here as the top teams throughout the SEC compete with their greatest in-state or regional foe.
Auburn vs. Alabama might not have as much riding on it as usual (unless the Tigers can pull off the major upset), but there’s still plenty of emotion about the Iron Bowl and other matchups.
Fans from throughout the South are gearing up for what may be their team’s last game of the season, and they let the world know about their excitement on Twitter.
We kept it clean, so you won’t see tweets like the one Louisville linebacker Henry Famurewa posted (and deleted) about his thoughts on Kentucky.
Georgia vs. Georgia Tech
When asked if he'd one day wear a Ga. Tech shirt to honor his brother Marcus, Keith Marshall said "I'll never put on a Tech shirt."

Tech fans – enjoy this day. It *could* very well be the last day that we run this state for at least another year. #UGAvsGT #TogetherWeSwarm

The purpose of the phrase 'Once in blue moon' is an event of rare. Example: UK beats Louisville in football once in a blue moon.

Sean Maguire in when he completes a pass on Jalen Ramsey in practice, "It's great because he starts crying." #Noles #FSU

Since 1990, FSU-UF have met as Top 10 teams 14 times. Alabama-Auburn over that same span? Three times. OSU-Michigan? Three times.
