Actually it is weird they picked Low, but disrespect the vols. To be honest, do not care for him. Wish they would all STHU till we start winning.

For chris low living and knoxville and covering the vols for so many years, it seams like he never has anything encouraging to say about the vols ever. Am I wrong? Am i just missing his good write ups about the vols?

He makes positive comments when they are due. I hate to break it to you, but we as fans often find positives where there aren't any just out of hope. He doesn't write about encouraging things in regards to the Vols, because realistically, there haven't been many encouraging things to write about over the last half decade.

He is very good at staying objective and is right about the Vols and most other SEC teams than he is wrong.

I have never had an issue with anything he writes about the Vols.

Speaking of ESPN hating us and reporters, for those of you who listen to TSR, ever get the feeling sometimes that Dave hooker doesn't have good things to say about UT, maybe he's still in ESPN hangover. Not always bad, but still too objective and plays devils advocate too much. Jw on Yals thoughts

I could care less what chris lowe says. He's like everybody else he's to busy with his nose up Alabamas ass. He's a frontrunner like everybody else is. GO VOLS!

He's a dime-a-dozen sports writer whose job has been reduced to trying to generate web traffic... He's nothing more than that and never will be... What he says or doesn't say is more or less irrelevant, and why anyone would go to him as a source for news/opinions in the first place is beyond my logically being able to reason out...

I agree and I am very confident he is no alum. Fat Vandy homer.

I always thought he was pretty fair. I don't read much of his work but I hear him on the radio quite a bit. He doesn't sound like he hates us. In fact he sounds like he wishes we were good again. Talks about the glory days quite a bit.

Like others have said, I don't think there's a ton of positives to talk about. Hopefully this weekend we will change that.

I agree he is trying his best not to be a homer. Despite all the comments on this board, he gets absolutely slammed on ESPN comments section for being a UT homer any time he remotely says something positive about the program. Looks like he loses either way. I for one think he does a pretty good job.

Made a deal with the devil when he left VolQuest and went with ESPN.

Low was a good beat writer when he was with the Tennessean, constantly getting the edge on John Adams and his merry band of UT haters at the KNS. He had a damn good pulse on the program.

He went to ESPN with his inside UT knowledge and proceeded to bash away, revealing all of UT's dirty laundry. You're right on one point, if he went pro-UT, other fans would pull the homer card out on him in an instant.

Still, hard to respect him anymore. Covering UT gave him a start in this business, now he seems to do nothing but bite the hand that fed his overweight carcass.

Finebaum went to UT and he, to my knowledge, has always kicked around at UT

Location or affiliation doesn't always mean people will like home team

True.

And if your looking for something positive made out of your team from any media, dont look to hard when you've been irrelevant for a long stretch. Unless you just have time to kill.

I know Chris well. he hurts to see Tennessee down as it is his school. He has to be as objective as possible in his coverage but it pains him to see the program in the shape it is.

I didn't either until listening to him on the radio this year. Few weeks ago when he was on 1045 The Zone I actually tweeted in to those guys to ask what the hell was up with Low and the way he was bashing UT. It wasn't that he was saying negative things about UT, it was the derogatory WAY he was doing it. It's happened more than once IMO and I'm left scratching my head.

He's lost me, I can tell you that.

Works for ESPN. He would be fired if he said anything about the Vols.

Haven't you heard? ESPN hates us.

I think ESPN must be rethinking their stance on UTK. I was watching the Miami Hurricanes and North Carolina game last night on ESPNHD. There was a picture of Payton Manning on the display wall in his Orange and White Tennessee uniform. The photo was just to the left on the screen behind May. I think they are going to have to start adding us to the mix with Butch and Staff getting the program moving in the right direction.

:yes:

Chris Low is a reporter.

Basilio constantly put him on air and asked for his opinion. He has no ability to form one. He talks in circles and generalities.

He's a good reporter. He finds news and reports it. He's not an analyst.

I'm a Vol for life, but if I were a reporter, I'd be saying derogatory things about Tennessee in public as well, especially if you talked to me before the Georgia game. I HATE when Tennessee is down, but the only people to blame for that is Tennessee.

Would you do it in an unprofessional way to the point that you sounded like a Florida fan tweeting that Tennessee sucks, that they had no chance to do anything other than battle Kentucky for last in the SEC East, etc?
