The only thing that makes sense for the timing is that if UT was to do really well in the tournament, it would be harder to justify the firing. Hami knows that he has got to go.
Top 10 from the link. They say it's because we haven't filled our stadium the last 2 years.
1. U Southern California
2. Notre Dame
3. Miami
4. Florida
5. North Carolina
6. Memphis
7. Tennessee
8. Georgia Tech
9. Rutgers
10. Virginia
I think the best RB we face so far was Dexter Mccluster from Ole Miss, he made us look stupid and beat us on his own. Still think there's no way VT beats us. Not even close. UT 27 VT 13
