Tennessee and Georgia Reignite Rivalry in Offseason Over Oddly-Timed Twitter Highlight Video

It wouldn't be the SEC without a bizarre offseason feud.

Tennessee finally has some momentum, as they have a top-10 recruiting class and are coming off six straight wins, but Georgia wants to make it known that they're still the top dog in the SEC East.

The Bulldogs started a so-called "Twitter war" after they posted a highlight video of their 43-14 blowout win last season over UT. This video seems like it was in direct response to the Vols' solid recruiting class.

Georgia faithful swear that this wasn't the case, as the Dawgs' official Twitter account is posting the highlights of all their 2019 wins, but this seems oddly timed.

Maybe the team that has run the SEC East for the past three years is a little worried about their border rivals? Tennessee did have back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2015 and 2016, but quickly collapsed by only having nine wins in the next two seasons combined. Jeremy Pruitt has changed the culture more recently, but they're not in the same class as Georgia as of yet.

The bad blood will be renewed between these two teams on the field when they face off in November, and we will see how close Tennessee really is to contending for the division crown. But, for now, we will sit back and watch the fans duel it out on Twitter.
