ESPN biased?

[volshooter]

Yep, I'm a TN fan. Love the SEC. Watching the last few games I get the impression ESPN just does not like the VOLS. I am not sensitive but their comments are clearly less than fair. Heard one weeks ago say "I cannot understand how they were in the top 25 before the season started". Sure TN has blown a game or two but so does every team. Game is tied and I will listen to the comments on ESPN for the 2nd half. All these guys play hard, saying things like "razorbacks don't have to worry, TN has blown 2 double digit leads" is telling.

You should try being a Knicks fan!
ESPN often has teams they rip on nonstop. Definitely not a new thing.

I've always thought they had a terrible bias and not just when it came to Boise State. No matter what I watch in seems the talking have a "favorite"well befor ethe game starts and if Notre Dames simply loses they start making up excuses.

Their personal opinions are my least favorite part of their coverage, no matter who is playing.

Heck, Notre Dame is going to some bowl no matter what. My son suggested they simply hold the Notre Dame Bowl and pick somebody to beat up on

Watched carefully and the biased did not show it's head during the second half.

Your team and mine (Auburn) have the same problem. We are traditional rivals of bama and thus by definition ESPN does not like us.

We have a healthy rivalry in the SEC for sure. But most of us would come to another SEC teams defense as well as their fans from any attacks. We do taunt before the game but will buy you a beer afterward regardless of the score. It is the SEC way. I usually listen to the game on the radio. Watching on ESPN and hearing their comments is slightly pissing me off. Next time I watch a SEC game on that channel I will turn the sound off. I don't need their opinions to enjoy a game, I can come up with my own.
I love college football but only watch SEC games.

I understand that. I'll watch Alabama as my primary, Auburn second ( depending on who's on t.v. first ) and any other SEC team following, LSU, Florida, even the Vols. :wink: And I'll pull for any SEC team that's playing in a non-conference game.
