There's the answer. Hope that happens.

If it does happen they play Tennessee and the next week at Alabama :sad:

MTSU already plays two SEC teams. @ Bama and Vandy.

 

[eazyTD]

@JasonHallSDS: #FWIW The AutoZone Liberty Bowl's official account (@AZOLibertyBowl) just followed Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs and WVU QB Clint Trickett

 

[vosams]

WE could always schedule Georgia Tech! lol they have an opening too.

Where are you all getting these bowl announcements besides the SEC Bowl Schedule link? Is it on tv?

 

[volstopfan14]

That is not necessarily UT's fault though. Finding another school to play this late in the season is very hard I imagine.

I understand that. I know it isn't easy, but there are other FBS teams with open spots. There isn't any reason for us to be playing 2 FCS teams.

 

[Aesius]

Speaking of MTSU, they just got left out of a bowl game again after going 6-6.

Also missed one in 2012 after going 8-4.

Seeing a lot of rumors on Twitter that the MCB will be Vols/Louisville

Rather play them than WV

 

[rocktopper16]

Just called someone at the Liberty Bowl, they said they'll announce around 3ish.

(901) 795-7700
Memphis, TN

4:11 is the official time. And that's eastern so 3 there time.

I'd rather play Louisville than WV but would be happy with either one. Both of them are winnable games. As long as neither one has a fierce pass rush.:crazy:

I'm just glad we're even having this discussion.

Edit: Changed my mind, would rather play WV.

 

[vosams]

Don't like Louisville matchup.

Devante Parker is Cooper 2.0.

Also it would be 60/40 Vols fan. Louisville travels well.

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

I hope it's the liberty bowl. So I can take son to his second game. His first was vandy 2012. Poor guy lol

 

[Catbone]

Here are some interesting stats if we were to play WVU.

WVU is 109th in sacks. Great news for us
WVU is 71st in rush defense. Similar to UGA this year.
WVU is 10th in passing offense. Tennessee is 36th in passing defense.
WVU is averages a -1.3 turnover margin which ranks 123rd.

Just because I am bored, here are the same stats for Louisville

Ville is 7th in sacks. Yikes
Ville is 4th in rushing defense. Ouch
Ville is 50th in passing offense. Better
Ville averages a +0.4 turnover margin. Pretty average.

 

[volstopfan14]

Louisville is 7th in the nation in sacks. Give me WVU any day.

no doubt

 

[Aesius]

I still think it's the Liberty Bowl vs WVU. I'm liking that matchup more and more. Louisville is the worst possible matchup for us.

 

[eazyTD]

I like some of the bowl match ups now that the tie-ins are gone.

Baylor/Sparty in the Cotton.

Ole Miss/TCU in the Peach.

State/GTech in the Orange.

Arizona/Boise in the Fiesta is kinda bleh.

 

[eazyTD]

I was starting to think the Gator Bowl was a possibility when I heard OM went to the Peach.

I'm looking at this to see who is getting added where. I don't guess there is an actual show.

 

[govols09]

Louisville is not a good matchup for us but don't worry about that

 

[volstopfan14]

Texas is going to the Texas Bowl. I'd say WVU is probably a safe bet for the Liberty.

 

[daj2576]

You are right, Oregon will before Bama gets the opportunity. FSU will have to go to Cali to play Oregon in basically a home game for the Ducks.

The Rose Bowl is 852 miles from Eugene. Not hardly a home game, unless you believe that if UT played in Havana Cuba they would be the home team.
