Why does Mark May....???

Yep, I like Mark better than anyone else on the ESPN set.

He basically just calls it like he sees it. He's the most objective in the bunch. If he says we're going to get our tails whipped, it's because he believes it. There's no spite in that.

Definitely. Sometimes, I'd say he goes somewhat "overboard"... but that's just TV.

People take this stuff way too personally. It's two guys calling it like they see it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm glad that teams actually have to play the games...

Mark Mays used to pick Tennessee on a regular basis. He seemed to turn on Tennessee when Fulmer was fired. Apparently, May considered Fulmer's dismissal to be the crime of the century.

If everyone was nice and agreeable on T.V. it would be soooooooooooo interesting.

So, what you're saying is for no reason whatsoever, most of the world hates UT, is against UT, and wants to bring UT down. That is soooo unfair. You should investigate.

Everyone thinks ESPN/SI/Sporting News/ Jesus Himself etc. hate their program if they say something bad about them. ESPN has been a HUGE part of our recruiting success by constantly plastering the Power T all over every broadcast they transmit, good or bad. Mark May does seem to have something personal against either Kiffin or UT though. When we start winning he and every other anchor there will be all over our nuts and calling Kiffin and staff geniuses.....its how the media works....just an industry full of followers.

So. Say, act, or do anything you want. Who cares ? As long as your program MIGHT POSSIBLY win in the FUTURE, that's ok. Are hypothetical championships worth that much ? The media is following what ? And I'm sure Mark May won't sleep until he brings down the Vol football program.

I see where you are coming from but I have to admit he makes more sense than his counter part sylvester the cat. He can be brutally honest and right now its just that its about our Vols. I do remember him having us picked to be a dark horse for the NT back in 07 so I don't know if he totally hates us.


This is why he speaks ill of UT, he is pissed that we made him look like a tool!!!

I agree that's part of it. I also think he doesn't agree with the approach Kiffin has used. I do, but Mark May is not Kiffin's only critic. It is, what it is.

I admit I've cringed at some of May's comments but sometimes the truth hurts. Until Kiffin turns the ship we will continue to hear it whether we like it or not. :ermm:
