They may be the only sports media not in love with the team.

TBH, if I’m another teams fan, I don’t watch a single UT game. It’s a commentator love fest for the team..........and I love it.

Yeah, I don't know why USA Yesterday didn't cover our game, but I have to say that we are getting a lot of love this season from just about everyone else. And I agree with you, I'm loving it.

SEC Network is just as bad, leads with #19 KY, then follows up with #7 AU, and finally gets to the best team in the SEC, our VOLS! I guess they think our place is the same as our national rank.

Woah is us. We are such victims. We weren’t mentioned in a publication nobody reads for sports. We deserve so much respect. Look at us.

Could it be that the Ky win was BIG or the A-burn game was a struggle for them and our win was a "ho hum" for a team as good as we are???

Oh wow. I guess it is a liberal conspiracy by Soros to besmirch the good name of UT by withholding us from today’s publication after our win over mighty Wake Forest.

Jokes aside, I really will never understand this Rodney Dangerfield mentality some UT fans have of craving respect from media or whatever. I just care about winning. I’m also completely concious of the the fact that there are almost infinite reasons they wouldn’t publish something about us beating Wake.

It's amazing.

For football it made sense I guess like 15 years ago to complain about lack of respect (if it actually existed), but even today people in the FF whine about how little respect we get. And for the life of me I can't understand what respect we deserve. We haven't been relevant as an NC contender since 2001. We haven't even played for an SEC Championship in 11 years. We had a few blips on the radar in 2015 and 2016 and that's it. We deserve jack squat.

And in basketball....I mean cool we're #3 and maybe moving up. But it's December. Basketball respect is earned in March. We've made ONE Elite Eight. ONE. And having said that, I've lost count how many times I've heard the ESPN talking heads proclaim we're a FF team and yesterday I heard numerous times during the game that flatout we may be the most dangerous team in the country and no one should be surprised if we win it all.
