We need wins but not against teams like Charlotte and FurmanWhy not? We play 2 tough OOC opponents in OU (sure loss) and Troy.....and Charlotte beat the flying F out of us last year everywhere except the scoreboard (barely). We’re one of the worst college football programs in the country right now and desperately need wins....I’m good with the schedule.
Can't argue with that...I'm good with it too.Why not?

I'd like to see FSU and Miami too, neither of them is a certain L at this point or any in the future, definitely not FSU right now. They were as bad as we were last year.
My answer.. it'll be CJP's 3rd season. That is enough time. Check out Bama the season after they lost to Louisiana Monroe.Better statement is “why the hell are we, as a team who’s won 9 games and 2 conference games the last year’s, scheduling a dominant Oklahoma program while we’re in the middle of trying to get back to even being competitive with freaking Vanderbilt?”
Oklahoma will actually make us better. Charlotte and Furman won’t do that
If you can't have fun while winning by 40, you're doing it wrong.This. PLUS, and honestly it should not be a plus but a major issue, is that the season is supposed to be FUN! Seems like people have totally forgotten that. We all want to get to a bowl, but I also like to enjoy the games in season. Playing a weak ass OOC schedule is not fun. We end up giving our tickets away to these (and sometimes can't give them away). I'm going to try and enjoy the season more this year, and I encourage everyone to also. I'm bad about forgetting that this is for fun lol.
I heard on the radio the other day that Florida hasn’t played a non-conference road game outside the state of Florida since 1991. That’s insane!I've said before, I'd like to see us play one OOC power 5 in Neyland every year. I think if the play-off expands it'll be beneficial to beef up our OOC schedule. Some of the other schools, namely Florida, Georgia, and USCjr are doing it already, all 3 are playing 2 power 5 OOC's this year and have plans in the future to play 3. We haven't played 2 since 2003. We could add some games that would fit that bill that we could likely win AND get exposure in states we need to recruit, I am thinking home and homes with Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia, Maryland, etc.
What years? The last 10 years they’ve scheduled a quality ooc Power 5 team every year. This coming year is likely the weakest scheduled they’ve had. I don’t like Bama either but they do play some quality teams ooc.Maybe so. But street cred shouldnt earn you the schedules that they had. It was crazy.
That's true, they are playing FSU and Miami this year. They have played neutral site games outside of the State, like against Michigan and I think they also have some stuff scheduled. South Carolina is playing North Carolina and Clemson this year. Georgia is playing Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. Kirby is going crazy with it. They are picking back up with Clemson in a few years and are playing Texas, Clemson, and Georgia Tech all OOC in the same year. I think they've also got FSU and Oklahoma scheduled. I think getting that wild might backfire, but as a fan, I'd like to see us go to 2 not 3, with at least 1 being some of those teams I mentioned that we should beat, but would be good exposure in states we need to recruit well.I heard on the radio the other day that Florida hasn’t played a non-conference road game outside the state of Florida since 1991. That’s insane!
They hardly ever play more than 1 per year though. When you see Florida, S. Carolina or Georgia playing an unusual power 5, that's always their 2nd P5 team, because they always have the OOC in state rival. That's one reason I've thought A&M was weak to drop Texas, these others have played their OOC rival for years.What years? The last 10 years they’ve scheduled a quality ooc Power 5 team every year.

You kidding? Maybe you’ve missed it, but we can’t get wins against freaking Vanderbilt, so if we don’t play teams like Charlotte, Furman, North Texas abd ETSU, we ain’t getting any wins.We need wins but not against teams like Charlotte and Furman
Good grief. Texas, Clemson, and GA Tech!? That’s insane! I bet they end up canceling one of those but maybe not. That would take some big brass ones to play those 3 ooc games. I do like us playing Power 5 ooc and would be good with 2 each year since we only play 8 conference games.That's true, they are playing FSU and Miami this year.

I agree with that. I just didn’t think it is accurate to say they play 4 cupcakes as I can’t remember a year where they did so. I’m sure there has been one but it has been a while.They hardly ever play more than 1 per year though. When you see Florida, S.
