I usually don't care if we gets ignored or under-ranked as the season goes along. But now that the season's over, they were talking this morning about "programs making the biggest leap forward." They spoke about TCU of course, and then USC. Of course there are many other schools they could have mentioned ranked lower too, but zero mention of the Vols!
Then they were talking about the Heisman a little bit, and again no mention of Hendon Hooker.
I don't think that ESPN dislikes us, but it's very possible that Desmond, Herb, and that moron with the cowboy hat doesn't like TN or care for us at all, even though they were on our bandwagon 3 weeks ago. We came back from a historically bad situation (3-7) a few years ago to get to 10-2, in the best short turnaround in the country, imo. Yea we played 1 awful game, and another pretty bad game, but no mentions at all?
The only way we can get those fools to respect us is to keep the program moving upwards, and get those wins on the recruiting front and resultingly on the field until they cannot deny us. But yea, it is frustrating to not get the credit that we deserve.
