a week ago NC State was in first place..... I'm assuming those schools (Cinci, ECU, etc....)have done a good job marketing this event within their fan base.....
The fact that UT ranks #19, shows that our administration has failed to properly market and promote this within our fan base......

I honestly think scores of Tennessee fans refuse to participate because it's ESPN and "they hate us. "
So stupid, but it is amazing how often I hear and read that from UT fans.

Was on the blue board last night. Apparently ESPN hates everybody.

Living in west Texas and now Oklahoma ,I haven't run into too many sec fans. I run into two former big 12 players who said that they wish ESPN would show Neyland stadium more because of its prestige, tradition and sheer size. They both said if they were to be recruited again Tennessee would be their choice. That made me proud to be a Volunteer today. Bring gameday back to The Hill !!!!!

The last College Gameday ad they did on Tennessee (the pig ad) had to be pulled after a couple of showings because it offended so many people. ESPN issued an apology.

TENNESSEE FANS UPSET AT ESPN - MajorWager Forums

ESPN is back in Smokey's doghouse. A commercial promoting ESPN's College Football GameDay that has begun running in the past couple of days comes off

Please don't twist this into a reflection of Tennessee's admin, its just a commercial... nobody failed to do anything

I'm pretty sure that Wes and myself have the same sense of humor. Some of his tweets have me rolling on the floor. Like the one about peeing on the air filter. We must have had class together in the early 2000's at Utk at some point. If we didn't we should have. Lol

I know this isnt that big of a deal but 9 of the top 25 is SEC. So like in football, baseball, and in a way basketball..the rankings are dominated by SEC schools..

Even if it offended someone...i am pretty sure that wasnt the last gameday ad on UT was it?...this was from 2002..and gameday was in Knoxville for the Auburn game in 2004..so i am sure they had some type of ad leading up to that game..
