Not even June yet, but why not, ey?

Liberty Bowl: Oklahoma State vs Tennessee
Tennessee fans would be extremely excited to play in a bowl game during Jeremy Pruitt's first season and judging by the schedule, there's a clear path to get there as long as the Vols don't go belly up during that brutal midseason stretch vs. Top 20 competition.

Others:
Music City-MSU vs GT
Citrus-SC vs PSU
Sugar-AU vs OK
Gator-UF vs Northwestern
Outback-LSU vs Nebraska
Belt-ARK vs FSU
Birmingham-UM vs SMU
CFP-UGA vs CU
CFP-UA vs OSU

Arkansas in the Belt Bowl?

With the azz whippings they’ll receive, I can’t think of anything more apt.

A birth in the bowls and I'm pleased with the beginning of the Pruitt era. That means we beat the Vegas odds and hold my expectations

Birmingham/Liberty at best. But I think we will be in Knoxville come bowl season.
This is not Dooley or Butch Jones lol. Yes Butch didn’t leave a bunch of talent for Pruitt but 5-7? I think Pruitt is more competent than last 2 clowns.
1. WV toss up ...everyone is really bragging on WV and WV is not consistently good and Tennessee normally wins openers.
2. ETSU W easy win
3. UTEP W
4. UF Toss Up...this is not the Spurrier’s or Urban Meyer’s team and the gators didn’t even make a bowl last season.
5. UGA L ...we normally play them tough besides last season
6. Auburn L ...anything could happen but tough playing them especially at Auburn and we haven’t beaten them since 1999.
7. Bama L
8. Charlotte W
9. USC jr. W mild upset
10. UK W... back to kicking UK’s ass
11. Missouri W .... we gotta beat Dooley’s especially him being OC
12. Vandy W ...Pruitt will have Vols ready for Vandy after our ass kicking last season from Vandy which like Florida didn’t even make a bowl.
7-5 if we go 0-2 on my toss ups or 8-4 with a split and I am leaning for a 8-4 record with a win over Florida or WV and make it to the Belk, Music or Gator bowl.

I kinda think the same way, I remember the glory days and think we should be a top ten team bangin it with great teams for big stakes. Then reality sinks in and I realize we are at square one again. But then, at that cheapo bowl....that beautiful orange and white takes the field, and suddenly I'm very much interested again!

No bowl for the 5-7 Vols in 2018 and let me add that will be the 5th season the Vols haven’t went bowling in this decade.

Even though I will be thrilled to see Tennessee make a bowl I hate the Liberty bowl. Not the bowl itself per se, but the stadium. That place makes the east side of Neyland look like Jerry's world. A stadium in a parking lot in the middle of a bigger parking lot which has not been renovated in at least 40 years. Maybe the University of Memphis has tidied it up since the last time I was there.

Main thing is we make it to a bowl which I am some what confident we will because of who we play. If Memphis then I would be fine with it. Will I go? Probably not since I live in Tri Cities would rather drive to Jacksonville closer and nicer, Charlotte is 150 miles or 4 hrs to Atlanta or Nashville.
