I have friends who work at ESPN - some low and some very high up.
ESPN does really hate us. At least the people with power sure do.
Total BS. Do you know how many "people with power" exist at that network? To generalize and say they, to a person, "hate" us is laughable.
This belief that ESPN has some grudge and/or vendetta against us is utter nonsense. The reality is that UT football has become, on a national level, inconsequential. We are an bottom-tier SEC program right now, and we aren't interesting programming, from a TV standpoint.
I have numerous friends at ESPN, and I have worked with the Gameday crew. Nobody ever expressed anything resembling hatred over UT. If anything, the overriding feeling was that many wished we would be relevant again - just that it seemed/seems a long way off.
