The Sunseri family can't win in this Alabama-Tennessee game - or lose, for that matter.

Vinnie Sunseri is a safety for the top-ranked Crimson Tide, and father Sal Sunseri is the Volunteers' defensive coordinator. The only saving grace of Saturday's family get-together is that they're both involved with the respective defenses, not going head-to-head.

Vinnie Sunseri called the week ``hard, hard, hard.''

Especially on his mother, Roxann. Vinnie Sunseri and his parents watched another sibling, Pittsburgh quarterback Tino, during the shared open date for Alabama and Tennessee.

Vinnie says ``she becomes a wreck'' during her loved ones' games.

He says he's not sure she's even going to this one.

Sal Sunseri says, ``It's going to be hard Saturday night when that kid walks on the field and hugs me.''
