My point is that for any team to be referenced in your fight song, it had to be a great rivalry game. Yet, your team thrived in the conference and developed other white-hot rivalries.

There's a lot of schools listed in the original Alabama fight song. It's longer than the verse or two everyone knows today. The song we sing today is just a portion of the poem/song that was written in 1926.

original Alabama fight song.

Let the Swanee Tiger scratch; Let the Yellow Jacket sting;
Let the Georgia Bulldog bite; Alabama still is right;
And whether win or lose we smile, for that's Bama's fighting style:
You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide!
Yea, Alabama! Drown 'em Tide!
Every Bama Man's behind you, hit your stride!
Go teach the Bulldogs to behave!
Send the Yellow Jackets to a Watery Grave!
And if a man starts to weaken, that's his shame:
For Bama's pluck and grit have writ her name in Crimson Flame.
Fight on! Fight on! Fight on, men!
Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then.
Go, roll to vict'ry! Hit your stride!
You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide!

No mention of us or TN...and you call us y'alls rivals
