Tennessee fans struggle to say anything positive about Alabama in hilarious clip

The Third Saturday in October rivalry continues in Week 8 as the Crimson Tide travel to Knoxville to face the 11th-ranked Vols.
Things didn’t go so well for the Crimson Tide last time they travelled to East Tennessee. The Vols broke a 15-year losing streak in cinematic fashion, with a wobbly walk-off field goal that prompted Tennessee fans to tear down the goalposts and throw them in the Tennessee River.
So yeah, there’s a lot of passion for Tennessee fans when it comes to this particular weekend.
In a hilarious clip released by SEC Network, Vols fans had a tough time saying anything nice about Alabama when asked. A few said something education-related, but most were unable to say anything at all.

While it’s unlikely to be the high-scoring classic it was last time Alabama visited Knoxville, we should be in for a top-tier game Saturday. Tennessee’s defense vs. Alabama’s offense is the matchup to watch, specifically Jalen Milroe against the Vols’ overbearing Front 7 – a unit that has to perform without star leader Keenan Pili.
On the other hand, what will Tennessee’s offense be able to do against a Crimson Tide defense that has really struggled recently, especially on 3rd down? Dylan Sampson will be a star to watch on Saturday, but Nico Iamaleava and Heupel have to get the passing attack going if they want a real chance.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
