Are you kidding me? What a joke. This was said during the UT-LSU game today.

He is wrong, clearly.
I get that the UT fanbase is figuring out how to handle the newfound competence of their team although broadcasters not named Burke (it kills him to talk up VU, so he rarely does) would be more skilled at “storytelling” without hyperbole, especially when there’s such substantial resistance to letting the game tell the story.

These talking heads have no clue. Entire state of TN??? Hell there are Vandy fans, Bama fans, UGA fans, etc… who can’t stand UT. Besides they won a weak regional and will probably win this super. Talk to me when you have won an SEC tourney much less the whole damn thing like Vandy has x2. Hell we took 2/3 from them this year.

Memphis fans hate them as much as we do, if not more.
Most of the color guys associated with espn haven't the sense to come in out of the rain.

So many people who claimed not to care about baseball have climbed on the bandwagon it's going to tip over...

I hate to say it but he's not wrong. Chattanooga TV media has not mentioned Vandy once this week. All they can talk about is EweTay.

The media often is not in tune with their customers (or people who choose not to be their customers).

Yeah, it's a bit insulting to be in any way included as a UT supporter. I guess it says two things:
1. UT hasn't been in this position recently so they're excited
2. The announcers don't understand the grand division of our great state and they would have been more accurate to say all of "East Tennessee" is on the bandwagon.

I'm trying not to look ahead because there are tough games in front of this team but going into this tournament with Arky out, Vandy and UT are probably the two favorites and they are in separate brackets so ... it could be epic.

ut-Chattanooga (didn't they have to drop baseball due to lack of $$$) took the word "Tennessee" off everything at one point and only call themselves simply "Chattanooga" iirc. You can add another school that can't stand the one in knoxville.
