Anyone heard that Tennessee was trying to buy Oregon out?

[chattavol420]

I'm glad we didn't get out of it. It'll be grudens first real game as the ut coach. And Oregon will be ranked top 5. It'll be huge!

Vandy got out of playing Ohio State and Nashville media said it was a smart move. Same Nashville media that bashed UT for not playing UNC and will really have a field day if we don't play Oregon.

It was scheduled for 2012 but they pushed it back to 2013

Kelly started that rumor after a loss to LSU , if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't true. He claimed nobody wated to play them at their place. Then mentioned us backing out. We fired back quickly. That game is on.

Sure , we dropped UNC during a tough schedule run , but ended up playing them and having the rules changed for college football , the same season.

Look at Ohio State. They bought out the Tennessee series. While Vandy is busy buying out Ohio State and Northwestern next year.

Our schedule might change , but we haven't been like the rest of this conference. We travel and play out of conference. Not just recently. Consistently.

It was set for 2013 from the start.

it was always in 2013

this rumor came from a comment by Chip Kelly. After he said it lots jumped on it and it was cleared up that the game was still on

here's the original thread from last year

We trying to rebuild our reputation and playing Oregon a possibly getting beat won't be a good look in that process.

Neither will beating Texas State.

Haven't heard it, but if true it's gutless, just like dropping the UNC game was gutless.

Every time I come on here I find the dumbest comments. Really dude?:crazy: You have no idea why the NC game was dropped. Idiots abound.:crazy:

Dooley is already ran from USC and that power house NC.

Poor grammar is more embarrassing. Just saying.

I heard on 680 the fan in Atlanta this very thing. They were talking about how big teams try their damnedest to buy out these other big schools when they get put on the schedule. I guess, to save face until bowl season rolls around where that kind of potential matchup lingers. Anyways, just asking if anyone else had heard this.

Hope so
