And yes, this has been discussed for years. But Bruce Feldman just tweeted it. He's mildly respectable.

Interesting to say the least.

Bring. It. On. Been waiting for this!

Now Joe Schad...

Tennessee and Virginia Tech have agreed to play a football game in 2016 at Bristol Motor Speedway, where a record 160,000 fans are expected

So who gives up the home game?

 

[Velo Vol]

Is Joe Schad the source?

Joe Schad is his own unnamed source.

It is finally going to happen.

Could be a one-time deal, like those kickoff games the first week.

Here we go again...

 

[Clemvolsince54]

Is this the big news we have been waiting for today? Or is a commitment still pending? :crazy:

Race and a game.

 

[D.C. Vol]

This has been in the making for years....I still remain skeptical due to all complications that will emerge (contracts, scheduling, preperations, etc.)

 

[smashmouth98]

finally!!!!

 

[Velo Vol]

People are retweeting it on Twitter so it must be true.

 

[Vols4life]

UMMM Awesome!!! No one will touch that record of fans!! I need to make that game

 

[CSpindizzy]

People are retweeting it on Twitter so it must be true.

No, it has to meet the Facebook threshold first. THEN it will be true. Actually it needs to be in 'meme' format first.

Down in front.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I'll be there

 

[Jacaznob]

Living in Kingsport there is no excuse for my friends and I not to go to this game if it happens.

 

[triad280]

Thnk bUTch did this for an extra recruiting advantage?
For the '15 class? Come play in front of 160k and 102k the rest of the year

 

[gordonr24]

I absolutely love this idea! Make this the season opener and it would be the story of the 1st week!

 

[Aesius]

This is huge.

Plus, we'll be rolling by 2016. The 2014 class will all be juniors. I'm marking it down right now: We win this game big time.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Finally going to happen. Awesome!
