This is a question that is exceedingly difficult for me. I want to beat Alabama, Auburn, LSU, MSU, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Vanderbilt. Even though we don't play them this year, I want Tennessee to lose every time they step on the field.
When I sit down to weigh my dislike for Alabama, LSU and MSU, I feel dirty. Greasy, stinky dirty. Even the thought of them makes me feel dirty. In their own inimitable ways, they all may be considered trashy, trashier and and trashiest at the same time. Their arrogance is like Mississippi delta mud, once you step in it, you can't wash it off and it grows thicker with each step. Each have a panoply of offensive qualities that one would think could not exist elsewhere in the universe. Yet, they do exist and grow in relatively close proximity to one another. Each have their own incestuous nature about themselves and have mercy if they should inter-marry. Quite frankly, I do not know how other schools can are able to resist the pull of the filth these 3 schools exert.
In the end, I think it would be inherently unfair to have to pick one of the three. You pick one and you feel like you have let fair-minded people down the world over. You then pick another and the same feeling arises again. It's like trying to pick which gold-digging, spirit-sapping, soul-killing ex-wife/GF you dislike least. So, I cannot select just one.
