Hes a BIG fan of UT, but hes publicly called out the university for every stupid decision theyve made. I remember him roasting us during the Dooley years. I think many of us, myself included, had the orange shades on and didnt want anything he was saying to be true (partly because it would mean we were going to suck at football). In hindsight, hes been correct in many of his assessments and isnt the enemy of the program hes been made out to be.
Simple, listen closely and understand. HE WENT TO VANDY AND HE HATES UT!! He baits UT fans almost weekly and Vol Fans fall for it.. Again, the man went to Vandy. He Hates Tenn fans and says things to get them riled up while posing to be on their side. He plays to UT fans pride.

He did go to Vandy but he claims to be a UT fan his whole life and his grandfather played for General Neyland. I cut media members slack in their "fandom." Like Chris Low who is a UT alum and fan, you can't expect him to just paint his chest orange and scream bama sucks.
Clay Travis is an acquired taste. I don't care for him on the radio but his articles are usually a good read minus the foul language.
