7-5?..And since bowl games #1 need is to sell tickets

[LakeMaryFLVol]

What would be the highest bowl that would grab an energized Vol fan base almost guaranteeing a sell out? Have seen some of these bowls grab lower seeds for this purpose. ..Gator has real trouble selling tickets

 

[Boca Vol]

When it comes to these lower tiered bowls, it isn't about SOS or quality of wins, it's about selling tickets, hotels rooms, and entertainment dollars.

With that in mind, I could see a 7-5 UT team in the Gator. Most likely Nashville or Memphis.

 

[Vols4ever]

A 4 year starved fan base waiting for a bowl who historically travel well. I am sure every bowl committee is waiting for it.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Yeah, Liberty or Music City bowl would be a sell out for sponsors if they took UT

 

[BruiserVol]

We will overfill any stadium they throw at us!

 

[SpeedyVOL]

I bet you a 7-5 Tennessee team would way outsell an 8-4 Mississippi team in bowl ticket sells. Our fans are starved for a postseason game and Ole Miss would be limping into the bowl game with a few losses (that is if they lose to Arkansas and Miss. State)

 

[DaddyChad]

I guarantee you any bowl would be happy to get UT in it. We travel very well and it's been a while since this team has been to a bowl.

That's a pretty safe bet. They had a list of which teams travel the best to support their team a few years ago. UT was towards the top of it.

 

[SpeedyVOL]

CBS has us projected to the Liberty vs West Virginia. Their offense is scary good and their fans travel well. That would be a tough ticket and a tough game.

 

[Shakinthefat]

With 61,000 seats in Memphis the ticket prices will be above my pay grade.

 

[SpeedyVOL]

Plus you must add what you would have to pay a security guard to watch your car during the game.

 

[Volador]

Let's take care of bizness first. How the heck we gonna be in any bowl if we don't win first?Predictions are worthless at this point.

cheap shot, stay in Bug Tussle then

Rent a car and buy the insurance. Done deal

I love that match up and even better in my hometown, please let it happen...

Nah jus watch walking back to your car Memphis is more violent than that..

too far?

Gator would be nice. They just might go for a hot 7-5 team that will sell tix over a fading team with a better WL. BUT---we have to win out to get there. Not going to be as easy as some think IMO.

 

[bigorange]

just saw this:

And speaking of the postseason, bowl reps from the Taxslayer, Outback, Citrus and Belk Bowls were all there to see UT’s dramatic win over the Gamecocks.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

What the heck is the Taxslayer Bowl?

 

[Volz4lif3]

What the heck is the Taxslayer Bowl?

It's where the IRS comes in and audits everyone... Alot of empty seats for this one..

 

[ATC_VOL]

What the heck is the Taxslayer Bowl?

Gator

 

[jbradley1382]

I'll revisit this board after we've won our 6th game.

 

[pualsline]

Definitely want the music city since the per team payout is almost $1,000,000 more than the belk or liberty

Any chance we get to see a UT vs Duke music City Bowl?
