Vol Rivalries

The Vols' main rivalries include the Alabama Crimson Tide (Third Saturday in October), Florida Gators (UF-UT rivalry), Georgia Bulldogs (UGA-UT rivalry), Kentucky Wildcats (UK-UT rivalry), and Vanderbilt Commodores (UT-Vandy rivalry). The Vols also have a small non-conference rivalry with the in-state Memphis Tigers. None of their games have trophies, although Kentucky-Tennessee used to battle over a Beer Barrel until 1999. From 1984 until 2010, Tennessee held a 26-game winning streak over Kentucky. The streak ended on November 26, 2011 when Kentucky defeated Tennessee 10-7 in Lexington. The Volunteers had important rivalries with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Auburn Tigers, and Ole Miss Rebels until Georgia Tech left the SEC and realignment forced them to drop Auburn and Ole Miss from the schedule.



Despite the heated in-state rivalry with Auburn, former Alabama coach Bear Bryant was more adamant about defeating his rivals to the north, the Tennessee Volunteers. The series is named the Third Saturday in October, the traditional calendar date on which the game was played. Despite the name, the game has only been played on the third Saturday five times between 1995–2007. The first game between the two sides was played in 1901 in Birmingham, ending in a 6–6 tie. From 1902 to 1913, Alabama dominated the series, only losing once, and never allowing a touchdown by the Volunteers. Beginning in 1928, the rivalry was first played on its traditional date and began to be a challenge for the Tide as Robert Neyland began challenging Alabama for their perennial spot on top of the conference standings. In the 1950s, Jim Goostree, the head trainer for Alabama, began another tradition as he began handing out cigars following a victory over the Volunteers.

Between 1971–1981, Alabama held an eleven-game winning streak over the Volunteers and, between 1986–1994, a nine-game unbeaten streak. However, following Alabama's streak, Tennessee responded with a seven-game winning streak from 1995–2001. Alabama has won the last six meetings from 2007-2012. Alabama won the most recent meeting 44-13 in Knoxville, and leads the series 49–38–7. Alabama is Tennessee's third most-played opponent, after Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Tennessee is Alabama's second-most played opponent after Mississippi State.



The Gators and Volunteers first met on the gridiron in 1916, and have competed in the same conference since Florida joined the now-defunct Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1912. However, a true rivalry has developed only relatively recently due to infrequent match-ups in past decades; in the first seventy-six years (1916–1991), the two teams met just twenty-one times. This changed in 1992, when the Southeastern Conference (SEC) expanded to twelve universities and split into two divisions. Florida and Tennessee were both placed in the SEC's Eastern Division, and have met annually on the football field since 1992. The rivalry quickly blossomed in intensity and importance, as both squads were perennial championship contenders throughout the 1990s. The games' national implications diminished in the 2000s, as first Florida and then Tennessee suffered through sub-par seasons. However, the intensity of each meeting still remains one of the highest in college football.



Vanderbilt and Tennessee have played 107 times since 1892, Tennessee has a winning record of 73–29–5. When the rivalry first started Vanderbilt dominated by taking 19 of the first 24 with 3 ties. After 1928 UT has dominated the rivalry with numerous win streaks and since then UT has a record of 71–10–2. The largest margin of victory for Vandy was by 76 points in 1918 at Old Dudley Field in Nashville. (Vanderbilt 76 Tennessee 0) The largest defeat was 65 points in 1994 at Vanderbilt Stadium (Tennessee 65-Vanderbilt 0). The longest win streaks for Vanderbilt is (9) from 1901 to 1913. The longest win streak for Tennessee is 22, from 1983 to 2004.



Tennessee and Kentucky have played each other 107 times over 113 years with Tennessee winning 74 to 24 wins by Kentucky (0.734). Tennessee has won the most games in Lexington with 35 wins to 14 by Kentucky (0.514). Tennessee also has more wins than Kentucky in Knoxville with 44 wins to 10 (0.452). Tennessee has the most wins in the series at Stoll Field with 19 wins to 11 Kentucky wins (0.789). The Series is tied at 3 a piece at Baldwin Park. Tennessee leads the series at Neyland Stadium with 34 wins to 7 Kentucky wins (0.324). Tennessee leads the series at Commonwealth Field with 17 wins to 3 Kentucky wins (0.570). Like many college football rivalries, the Tennessee-Kentucky game had its own trophy for many years: a wooden beer barrel painted half blue and half orange. The trophy was awarded to the winner of the game every year from 1925 to 1997.The Barrel was introduced in 1925 by a group of former Kentucky students who wanted to create a material sign of supremacy for the rivalry. It was rolled onto the field that year with the words "Ice Water" painted on it to avoid any outcries over an alcohol drum symbolizing a college rivalry.

The barrel exchange was ended in 1998 after two Kentucky football players died in an alcohol-related crash.
