Oakland v. Blackman on ESPN2

[eman17]

Moved the game to Aug 24th. Will be on ESPN2 at 11 am CT. More national exposure for a few future Vols.

The exponential growth of Middle Tennessee has transformed the area into a recruiting gold mine . Butch & Co need to lock 'er down.

Blackman has only been around since 2000 I think?

However like orangeluvr said, the Middle Tennessee area and particularly the Nashville/Murfreesboro/Franklin and surrounding area etc.. Has just blown up with Division 1 talent and not just in Football but in Boys & Girls Basketball (Alexa Middleton, MeMe Jackson) as well.

I know we had discussion on it when it was announced but that is why this coaching staff wanted to get another game in Nashville and soon besides the Vandy game every other year. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't schedule another game in Nashville in 4 or 5 years.

I'm betting the Vols & Lady Vols both play a neutral site game in Nashville in the next couple of years.

Hearing it will be played at MTSU due to the size of the crowd.
