TENNESSEE
For 11 straight years, Alabama has defeated Tennessee on the Third Saturday in October. Some of those games have been close, others… not so much.
Things aren’t likely to change this fall, but the Vols are excited for the first year under new head coach Jeremy Pruitt, who will be tasked with turning things around in Knoxville.
This year’s game against Alabama will take on a special meaning for one 9-year-old fan, though, as her dad told her she could have a dog if the Vols beat the Tide. Below, you can see the letter she wrote to Pruitt explaining her situation:

Notice Cate’s overt shot at former coach Butch Jones, who is now an intern at Alabama.
Poor Cate may not get her dog this year, but with Pruitt at the helm, it’ll be interesting to see if the Vols can start challenging the Tide more often, like they did back in 2015.
I sure hope she gets that dog.
Pretty funny. Even a 9 year old knew about ole sarge!
I will buy her a Shetland pony if we can beat them this year!
I’d buy her that dog.
Saban will retire one day Lassie, lol . You may have to come of age to get you’re dog still. The lady Vols will beat ole bama down for you tho
Make sure she is feeding and cleaning the goldfish bowl first, but for Heaven’s sake get her a puppy. By the time she figures out the problem isn’t with the coaching staff the doggie will be in Dog Heaven.
