re: Tennessee is the most hated team in the SEC

"Highest degree of class"? Can't speak to the fans but the coaches & players are a different animal entirely. Have watched a lot of SEC baseball, going back decades, & I don't recall any SEC HC getting suspended by the League for bumping into an umpire, an assistant coach getting the boot in the same game, a player dog cursing an umpire, openly flipping off an opposing player, etc etc etc. As hot tempered as Polk was, as Sully is, Skip having his moments, none ever ran into an umpire or had a played kicked out for cursing an umpire. State & LSU teams have had some of the most heated, intense games, fans involved,too, but nothing to this degree ever happened.
