I think you're reading too much into that quote. He never mentioned Tennessee. But if you guys are that sensitive, and need some motivation for the game, then by all means talk it up... :unsure:
W-L shouldn't have anything to do with being the best player, but nonetheless it does factor into the voters' minds. It is unusual for a player to win it on a team with more than 2 losses. That was one of the knocks against Tebow the year he won it.
It's funny how Spurrier in the 90s and now Meyer really get under UT fans' skin. I guess it has more to do with the losses than the coach.
Did you guys have such distain for Zook?
