Then why complain about it oh ye of superior knowledge? Seems to me that if this irritates people so, then it would be better for them to just stop following him. It's pretty clear that he's anti-UT

love this comment!

"I would like to say you were spot on with your account of Tennessee’s basketball team.* Who are they to think after beating two top 10 teams they deserve to be considered on your list?* They need to respect real basketball programs of the caliber of ours.* In Virgina we are known for three things Thomas Jefferson, Al Groh, and playing basketball. Rick Carlisle laughs at their pathetic program honestly.* So they had a fluke year and made it to the elite 8, big deal.* Virginia basketball has been there 5 times before.* I know Tennessee fans are probably saying, “You’re last trip there was over 15 years ago.“ and to them I say so what.* I will take tradition over any amount of recent success.* You hillbillies need to respect your superiors.* Whitey here was only trying to make a point.* I don’t even think Tennessee should even consider a team worthy of a NCAA tournament bid.* RPI is possibly the only thing more overrated than the Tennessee basketball team.* You keep spreading the good word Whitey as the Volunteers birdwalk through the season.* Also don’t worry about those hillbillies down there in that worthless state Whitey, they are just excited by the taste of success and lord knows its been ages since we have tasted it."

I couldn't tell if it was sarcastic or legitimate, but either way, this is who Whitey writes for.

I'll just respond to this part since it's the only part that has anything to do with past posts. Is Reid a good, rational reporter? No, he's proven that. He has an agenda trying to portray us as an average team. Want proof that he's nothing without shock value? How many people knew of this goober before all this came out? I sure as hell didn't.

Dunce! Oh no you didn't!
Seriously, it just seems some fans try to find something to get upset about. Can't we just be happy that we have an excellent team. At the end of the day, does it really matter what this guy has to say. Are his words that powerful? Just because he doesn't rate us high doesn't change the fact that we are an outstanding team. I just don't understand why 1 AP voter gets everyone so worked up. Saying that I am uninformed is incorrect. I just don't want to give this guy credit like you choose to.

So, after all the BS of how he can't move a team up much from one victory (Villanova), he then in turn moves the Vols from unranked to 8th after one victory (Pitt).

What a tool. At least be consistant. Just shows how biased he originally was.
