Music City Bowl wants Vols (merged)

[508mikey]

ND would draw more fans to the MCB than Louisville -- Louisville is # 1 in basketball right now so basically they dont give a crap about football anymore, this year

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

I would rather go to the liberty bowl than the music city bowl we have been there already twice this decade.

 

[508mikey]

The conference has final say I believe.

and Fulmer has no 'pull' there

 

[vollygirl]

I wouldn't hate it. Easy to get to. Nashville is fun. I'd be okay with it this year.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

IDGAF!! Considering where was at week 5, I wouldn't care if it was the tidy bowl. MCB sounds awesome to me

We are pretty much at the mercy of the SEC offices and the bowls on which bowl we get. Not really much of a point in worrying about it too much .

Better to be talking about this than a coaching change like Arkansas Missouri and Ole Miss though.

POOL OF SIX BOWLS: After the Citrus Bowl selects a team, there will be a pool of six bowls and the Conference, in consultation with the institutions and the bowls, will make the assignments for these six bowl games from all eligible SEC teams.

with all this talk on here watch it be the Belk Bowl

According to this article the Music City Bowl has zeroed in on the Vols as their SEC team of choice.

Music City Bowl wants Tennessee Vols as SEC representative

I know I have seen a lot of people on this board voting for a FL bowl but I think the MCB would be great for our Vols.

Hell, no. That field is a colossal mess. Nashville in December? No thanks.

 

[CA_Vol]

I think it’s pretty simple. If Florida makes a New Year’s six bowl, we are in Tampa. If not, we are in Jacksonville.

 

[vollygirl]

its a 3pm game on a Monday -- hope nobody has to work

That's what PTO days are for!

 

[Jackcrevol]

I can think of many good reasons, logically why we would want to play in MCB. Conversely, i can think of more logically sound reasons to play in Florida.

most proj have them in the Cotton Bowl -- Im sure they dont want to be there but ...

 

[teeball]

Hard pass, I don't want to see UT play Louisville or any other slack a$$ ACC school in Nashville

You got that right. I want to kick the little 10's azz again ... GBO!

 

[westy]

I'd rather not do the MCB for all the reasons people have been mentioning.....cold, close to home, want a "destination." Give me the Outback or Gator please, and let's kick some Big 10 butt!

 

[508mikey]

It would be over by the time I have to work so I aint to worried -- unless there is a weather delay

 

[Grudenator]

I don’t care where we go. I just want to play Michigan

 

[onevol74]

How quickly the sense of entitlement kicks in around here. 8 weeks ago we were the only P5 school that didn't have a win against an FBS school. Now we're too good for the Music City Bowl. Having said that, MCB would suck

Not entitlement to me. MCB is not entitled to my presence when I have a warm fireplace and a big screen to watch the game. Now Florida bowl, that is another matter. I have loved siting in my short sleeves watching the Vols thrash a big 10 opponent.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Why?

 

[KELSOWAVOL]

I'm sure alot of instate recruits would be there. Couldn't hurt watching the home school win a bowl game.

Great for the fans, but not for the team.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Rather have FL. We were last at music City. They can pick ky or miss state

 

[Sarms58]

I can watch this one by the fireplace at home. Been to MSC once and was miserably cold. No thanks anyway. Florida or bust.

I think you need a good bit of antifreeze to enjoy the MCB

 

[hexnut]

I went the last time they played in the MCB and I would go again. Of course I only live 30 miles away.

 

[peerless98]

I would most likely go to Nashville or Jacksonville but not Tampa. I've been to the MCB twice; we won one then lost it, and then won the 2nd time I was there.

If we all take our bias and envy of Nashville out of the equation and consider that you all will be sitting in traffic for days. Maybe we should go south to Florida. Nashville gets more than 15 million visitors a year and they know how to party, that’s why visiting NFL teams Pay ridiculous prices for tickets and the locals pocket the cash. My personal preference is the outback in Tampa simply because of the weather however if you find yourself in Nashville you will have a blast.
