Wow. ESPN takes an opportunity to pee on Tennessee? I’m shocked. Shocked beyond belief.
Post of the year!!!! He gets it.
Herbstreit will use this as a segue to another Schiano defense piece, Fowler will call us trailer trash, and the beat goes on and on......
ESPN. Ridiculous how much they pile on us.
Just a little while ago Ole Miss fans did the same exact thing to us at a basketball game now all of sudden we're trash smh.The real clown show from the media's side will be the older sports personalities acting all shocked as if they've never before seen anything like tonight. The SEC was a very hostile place once upon a time, before all the TV money and pacified it. Road trips used to be REALLY serious affairs. But now with all this money pacifying the sport, people want the look but not the bite. ESPN wants all the passion and the energy of "It just means more," but only in acceptable-for-television corporate doses which they can control. "My goodness," they will cluck, "this is an unprecedented display of bad behavior." Please. Dial it back forty years and check the history books. I know a few stories. Many of us do. Go ask Reggie White about the oranges. I'm not saying I condone throwing crap, and I definitely think in this modern climate that sort of display creates challenges for the program's image and reputation, but to act as if this is some sort of new phenomenon or something isolated to Tennessee alone is to ignore the very real and very adversarial history of the SEC.
It was a bad look, and it was totally unacceptable for folks to do.
however the folks at ESPN/SEC network were acting like they had never seen anything like this in their life.
I’ve seen it a ton…….doesn’t make it acceptable……but it certainly isn’t like some “Tennessee only” anomaly.
I think it'll be worse because of the Schiano stuff. That'll get drug back out as our fanbase get eviscerated in the media again.
Exactly! Yet there are countless marshmallows on here acting like someone was murderedIt was a bad look, and it was totally unacceptable for folks to do.
