The once-great Florida-Tennessee rivalry has lost most of its luster.
The No. 11 Gators (2-1, 0-1 SEC) and the Volunteers (2-1) are only two days away from kicking off, and yet, most of the conversation on social media and message boards is still about the Gators’ near miss against Alabama last week. There’s been very little trash talk or jabs back and forth between the two fan bases.
The press conferences this week essentially served as an extension of the Alabama postgame press conference.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it), the Gators winning 15 of the last 16 meetings in the series has killed the rivalry.
