ESPN Classic Bias?

[drvenner]

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do have to say that I found it a little interesting in that in all of the SEC games that ESPN Classic is replaying and leading up to the launch of the SEC network, I do find it interesting that only one of the scheduled games is a Tennessee win (that being the 1996 Bama game). Among the other games they are showing is the 2005 SC game (loss), the 1990 Auburn game (tie, but felt like a loss), 1993 Florida game (loss), 1994 Bama game (loss, the only one Peyton lost to Bama), 2011 Bama game, 2012 Bama game, and I think that's all. It is fun to watch some of the other replays. I don't watch the Tennessee replays that we lose (normally) because they are usually still painful. Thank you for your time and attention.

So what does that say about the games they showed this week where UT won?

Haven't you heard ESPN hates us.


J/k I noticed it too
They could easily show the 98,01,04 fla games or the 5OT bama game from 03 I think

Yep, all of those would have been great. Any game from '04 would have been great as I was deployed to Afghanistan and missed all but the opener.

I just saw the 97 SEC title game the other night.

Tennessee played a mistake free, 6 turnover football game and managed to win.

Token win

VHS, the good ole days.:yes:

 

[99gator]

they've been running games for a week or so, so I am sure you missed plenty.

I can tell you that Florida, too, is being shown in more games that Florida lost than when Florida won.

In addition to the games, they are showing the book of manning, condrege holloway, ernie and bernie, and something with pat summit.

I also caught a UT v LSU game on the other night. Not sure the year (96ish?) We lost.

Thank you for your service and I agree minus the 04 SEC champ. game. Don't think I could relive that one.

Good thing UT had a defense and AU sucked.

They played the 98 SEC championship too the other day - SEC Network is getting ready to show plenty of classic games we won - Don't be paranoid, there is no bias.

Part of the problem we've got is a lot of these games deemed as "classics" are upsets.

Well, Tennessee and Florida weren't upsetting anyone in the 90's.

Probably the 2000 game that went to overtime.

 

[99gator]

The good times

People talked the other day about schools that would tear down the goal posts after beating Tennessee.

Hell, Florida State and Tennessee tore the goal posts down after beating Florida.

I miss that. The ultimate sign of respect.

The worst thing I may have seen last season wasn't losing to Georgia Southern. It was losing to Vanderbilt and watching their sideline calmly move toward the middle of the field to shake hands. They didn't jump up and down, celebrate, nothing. They practically yawned afterward.

I agree!

HDTV, DVD, and BluRay hate UT!

'cept Peyton

I'm watching the Florida and South Carolina game from '10 now. Seeing Marcus Lattimore dominate as a freshman really gets me even more excited to see Hurd this year

 

[Boca Vol]

You could watch the 2012 UGA game and see 2 FR RB's tear it up.

I'm good

At least they are playing some games Tennessee was involved with. They could be playing the highlights of every Saban coached game since LSU.

Not really being paranoid. It was somewhat tongue in cheek. I was just scrolling through last night, trying to find some games to record and could only find one that I wanted to see again . I am sure that the SEC network will show some good wins. I was more joking about the ESPN conspiracy theorists than anything else. Trying to stir the pot a little.
