Bama be the benchmark for UT? We've touched on it here before( at least until the moderators decide the subject shouldn't be brought up). Basilio mentioned what I and a few others have said: Bama simply cares more. From the administration to students and everyone in between, football rules the roost and they will do anything to stay on top. Yes, it's special here but not to Alabama's level. Are we ok with just winning the east every so often?
