[motown vol 09]

as much as i hate the idea of playin a 1-aa team, look at the two games after that.... Ore, UF

article said 27 years pretty sure they played citadel in 82:dunno:

i think you're right in that the citadel was the last playoff subdivision team we played. the article says nothing about division 2 or 3 though.

2010 is not going to be a walk in the park.

they are a member of the Southern Conference in D1. they play in the championship(playoff subdivision) in college football

Was it Pacific when Chuck Webb got injured?

I think I read Pacific was D1 when we played them. I do not believe they have a football team anymore.

 

[MizzoufaninKnox]

Nothing we can do about it. Two teams have backed out so we didn't have any D1 options.

Guess I missed it...who backed out?

So we don't play WKU anymore?

 

[motown vol 09]

wku is the opener this yr. Ut martin is the opener for 2010

tennessee needs to re-spark the series with mtsu eventually. i enjoyed it the last time they got together. then again, as a tn tech student i kind of enjoy mtsu getting beat up on anyway.

I hate to keep showing MTSU some love (I have on another thread tonight), but that game in 2002 or 03 was a very good game. Could have been tied at halftime if it wasn't for a questionable catch out of bounds call right before halftime.

 

[duckman398686]

i was at the game but it definitely wasn't one of the more memorable ones i've went to. i just thought it was cool that they finally got to play each other. from what i remember it was kind of close in the 1st half and then ut blew it open in the 3rd or 4th. i think we blocked a punt sometime near the end and we recovered it in the endzone for a td. i remember thinking to myself that something seemed amiss with ut after that game. then florida happened 2 weeks later....

That is division II now, Duckman. They just call it Bowl Championship subdivision or whatever. It is the old division II -- just the name has changed.

 

[GAVol]

"Playoff Subdivision" is the old 1-AA. Division II and III still exist.

 

[Sabanocchio]

It's the old 1-AA.

Okay. My mistake.

:yes:

 

[Vercingetorix]

Pacific was in the Big West conference when we played them, which was I-A at the time. They don't do football anymore.

This sucks. I can't believe we're playing a I-AA team.

 

[GAVol]

Thank the college Presidents for adding the 12th game in a money grab. This is bound to happen from time to time.

 

[ukvols]

I hate this. I have taken pride in Tennessee never playing 1-AA schools.

 

[orangesox]

I think I read Pacific was D1 when we played them. I do not believe they have a football team anymore.

Correct. They played in the now defunct (for football anyway) Big West Conference against teams like Fresno St., San Jose St., and New Mexico St.k:

Cade Thompson is QB right?

He's a gas pumper...

 

[TennTradition]

It's hard to believe that there were no other 1-A options...I hate this.

Me too. Then I would point out how we play solid non-conference opponents. At least we still play Oregon that year and save a little credibility.

Like GAvol said, it is bound to happen with 12 games.
