Absolute crap that we won't be playing y'all yearly now.

It’s no surprise the OP wants to keep our annual game. How often are you guaranteed that your opponent, no matter how good they are, no matter how bad you are will have a complete mental breakdown and play like a middle school team against you for just this one game. An added bonus is that your second and third string QBs become Heisman candidates overnight.

Lagway is buying his Lambo early, as is customary for his first round draft status after they play us.

Hard not to feel bad for Florida now. The only reason they are being taken out of yearly games with the Vols is that they are about to suck for a decade or more, where we would have dominated them every year. So naturally the new schedule is set up to screw us by taking a weak team off the schedule...

Changes will be coming every year. This current system cannot be maintained. We are evolving toward all the teams spending over 10 million on NIL will eventually migrate to one conference. They will form into divisions just like the NFL, play no one outside the conference and form their own playoff system.

I hate UF. The timing isn't great since UF is still struggling while the Vols are getting their act together.

That said, I am more interested in winning championships than any of the other concerns. Do that... then add UF back. Playing Vandy and UK will help UT win championships. I'm old enough to remember when a legend at Bama retired leading to several years of mediocrity. I'd honestly be OK with that too for a while.

Keep building the roster. Hopefully the schedule will help rather than hurt like it has so many times in the past.

Maybe. Or they could enhance revenue sharing. They could even subsidize teams with low NIL support. None are things I want to see. But it will change over time.

I don't care about LSU, and I really don't care about Texas. Would it be nice to beat them, sure! - but it doesn't have the intensity of the Florida game, and my point is that Kentucky brings no passion to the table. They suck. I'm sorry but I don't care that we've played 102 years or whatever.

My point is why keep pushing a game that isn't exciting for us. For years, we heard about how great we were in the month of November. The reason was that we always played Vandy and Kentucky in November and we could count on a few more wins. Even Vanderbilt went through a period where we lost 5 our 7 games to them in the last 15 years. From 2011-19 we were 5-5 against Vandy. Let that sink in: Vandy has been a tougher opponent this century than Kentucky, who we have like a 22-3 record against over the last 25 years.

What you’re missing is, the way you feel about Kentucky, a lot of Florida fans think about UT. I hate Florida as much as anyone, but we haven’t made it much of a series, especially after 2001. In the last 20 years, we have beaten Florida the same amount of times KY has beaten us. We’re still going to play them pretty often, but cycles change. As much as I don’t like Florida, it’s not nearly as big of a game as it was with Spurrier and Meyer being there. We barely played them before 92.

If Florida wanted to keep the TN rivalry, they should have kept Ron Zook and stop talking about fire Napier. Nobody wants to tune in to 16 year win streaks.
