Personally, and with no ties to UM, I loved that team. It was like Phi Slamma Jama reincarnated. Nothing to hate about that team, but just loaded and respect. JMO. War Damn.

Maybe Tennessee football, or just Tennessee in general?

You could probably change this to just about every year.

I know plenty of people were rooting for UK's downfall when they went to the final four in 2014 and 2015, but I don't remember a lot of incidents involving their players being classless (at least not to the degree that Tennessee was this season)

I'm not sure how beloved Brian Bosworth and OU were in the 80s as that was before I was born. But it looks as if they played the other villain role alongside Miami during that time.

Oklahoma under Switzer was definitely a bunch of outlaws.

That was Duke (i.e. why you could probably pick them as the most hated college sports team every single year )

Detroit Pistons basketball team. You either loved them or hated them... no in between. Most fans hated them.

As for college... Tennessee must rank pretty high on the list if you saw them play and like assholes. They typify what most sports fans can't stand. Wouldn't have mattered what jerseys they had... would be universally hated within the college ranks.

That's right you little Austin safe space bitch. We take pride in making you hate us. Tony V will 100 percent win a championship soon and you know it. The odds of him not are too high now.

He has built a well oiled MACHINE at Tennessee with elite recruits lining up to play for us.

But your statement says the odds of him NOT winning a championship are too high.

Don’t think that’s what you meant.

Some comparisons:

80's, 90's Miami football
The Fab Five at Michigan
Duke basketball with Christian Laettner
UNLV basketball under Jerry Tarkanian

I don't believe any were more classless than the BaseVols



I'll admit that I despised the Canes during that period until they clowned you guys and your "Sheriff" in the Cotton Bowl that one year.

I've never laughed so hard in my life watching them ridicule Texas.

Purposely getting PFs and Unsportsmanlikes just because they knew you all couldn't do squat even with the extra downs and distance.

Running up the tunnel after catching a TD pass and exploring the fairgrounds instead of coming back to the sideline.

Harrassing the Texas fans on the sidelines by doing all kinds of things to the sacred Hook'em Horns sign including flashing it upright while wearing an excrement eating grin.

Pure comedy for three hours. And just like now, Texas fans and admin couldn't take it and demanded that the NCAA do something about those mean 'ole Canes.

Was UNLV hated back then? I was young so I don’t remember.

I think people in Austin love Tennessee. Every time they play the longhorns, the longhorns end up winning
