The entire "tone" of the podcast that was dedicated to "hatred" of one's most-feared opponents was exactly appropriate. Chiney is a delight, hugely talented, highly articulate, and an intensely fun sparring partner in a debate of this kind. These are the very things that make sports rivalries so damn much fun. Me? I hate Notre Dame...period! Naturally, my hatred is an outgrowth of my respect...they're consistently good. But I mainly hate them because writers and commentators, eternally under the spell of some romanticized legend of yore, fall all over themselves trying to "anoint" them champions of something or other, especially football, before they've earned a thing. I used to hate Tennessee, but, as others have correctly pointed out, that's no real fun anymore. I'd be pleased to see them become once again worthy of my hatred, but I ain't holdin' my breath on that one. Anyway, any denigrating comments about Chiney as a result of this interview are, in my opinion, totally out of place here.
