Well lets see how much love......

Whatever. I have heard nothing but praise for Tennessee basketball coming from ESPN. Yeah they made a few digs on coach Pearl's orange jacket. So what? Road crew orange isn't exactly a great-looking color to most people.

That would be Dupont color 151 UT orange. Not "Road crew" orange, that's derrogatory. I thought that defined Oregon State Orange... or maybe Oregon's highlighter yellow...

Actually Oregon State's is convict-themed orange and black, and Oregon's is roughly the same yellow all the yuppies wear when they ride bikes at night.

Whatcha talking about... anyone that doesnt like orange hasnt had enough pearl-aid

really though guys, all espn has been doing is praising good play by the vols and they were just poking fun. everyone knows that this is a good team, give it a rest...

For whatever reason, some people seem to turn their sense of humor off, if they had one to begin with, whenever the Vols are brought up on ESPN.

Yeah. It's like some of the folks 'round here expect a robot voice to pop up and say "The Tennessee Volunteers are a highly respectable team who is having a good season. Best of luck to them"

Yet again, posters are proving Chris Fowler was right.

Nice win last night guys! eace2:

Who are these "some people" that you are referring to?

 

[tidwell]

It's fairly obvious.

Who cares what they showed? All the recruits watch and see UT is at least on Sportscenter every game. They see the scores and wins we are putting up and see that national ranking. They also realize that we are really creating a buzz in CBB. They show our coach has a personality and can make the game fun. We will get our chance in the tourney when all the games are on TV.

These guys evaluate CBB as a whole to see where they want to go to school. We are in contention with a great style of play and that's the draw.

A lot of Vols fan care. ESPN has a hard time showing the VOLS any kind of respect, even when we go to Rupp Arena and win, which has been unheard of for years.

I should be able to voice my opinion without being harassed about it also.

And I 100% agree with that right. I sat up to watch sportscenter and was disappointed too. They went from the UNC/Dook highlights to the NBA highlights. We were in the 3rd segment and I felt slighted too. I'm just glad that we are the team leading the highlights and not the team that just happened to be on the other side of the court getting smoked. We keep winning and they won't have a choice. That''s sweet revenge.

omg... :lol:

I'm the one that can laugh about them ragging on Pearl's coat, and so can he. I'm not the person on a message board slamming ESPN for having the audacity to say one cross word about everything related to UT, including a coat the coach wears.

So, go ahead, turn that around as well.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Brasszilla]

It's not just ESPN that likes certain teams and don't give others respect. SI.com always show the teams they like in a favorable way, even if they lost. ahhhem to the Florida/South Carolina game last night.

Caption: "Florida's Al Horford blocked this shot, but Tarence Kinsey finished with 16 for South Carolina, which swept the Gators for the first time in eight seasons."

it's almost like a slap in the face to South Carolina, can't they get SOME kind of glamour shot of them beating a good Florida team??

I can always count on you to follow me around and make harassing comments to every post that I make, even when I haven't posted on here for months.

I don't care if they rag on Pearl's jacket. I doubt that Pearl cares what anyone says about the jacket. He probably enjoys the attention he is getting for wearing it, whether it be good or bad. My point is that for every negative thing that ESPN says about the VOLS, they should at least show a few positives.

Example: Make fun of Pearl's jacket all they want, but also say what a damn good coach he is and give him the respect he deserves for leading his team to a victory at Rupp Arena.

Example: Show Bradshaw falling in the promos, but also show what led up to
that instead of making fun of him falling. That was the point of them showing it, to make fun of it.

I'm not turning anything around, I'm trying to explain my point of view to someone that only has harassing me on their mind instead of trying to have an open mind and seeing my point of view, even if they don't agree with it.

You sure do go the extra mile to comment on ALL of mine on EVERY section of this message board.

You can do that just on this thread!

You can have the last word since you are about to die to have it.

Aww, thanks. :wub:

Original posts that I replied to, before they turned into a pissing match is what I meant.

You two remind me of an old married couple. :lol:

I was afraid something like this might happen. Jenn you should have never posted your pic.

Thank you, Brass. Your post is dead on the money.

I work with a Gator, and when I brought up the game, he wanted to talk about how it's more important how you finish the season. I said, "yep, that's imporant. Just hope you don't draw Butler in the first round of the Tournament."
