Bowl bid poll

[CJBlaze]

Just curious how many people think this team deserves a bowl after this seasons results?

 

[A.J.]

I voted yes. Not because I feel we deserve it, but because we could benefit from the extra practices and game experience.

 

[BowlBrother85]

No. 3-7 is embarrassing enough. No need to make it 3-8. The extra practice is not likely to help much when so many players would opt out of the bowl game anyway. Also, what bowl would want us? The Weedwhacker Bowl in Shreveport? They should sit this one out.

Good thoughts. Ultimately, the team should decide. It wouldn’t surprise me if they voted no.

It doesn't really matter at this point. You're talking an extra week this year.

I would take the bid, because I feel like all of these players deserve some sort of reward for playing even if on-field results are poor.

 

[ArdentVol]

wouldnt have yes because of the extra practice
feel like ncaa and bowls and other concerns have their priorities mixed up
this is a terrible time

 

[VOLnMiami]

3-8 is worse than 3-7....Just stay home

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Yes. As long as there are several other 3 win or worse teams bowling. No if we’re the only one.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

The players, somewhat surprisingly, seem eager to play in a bowl game. If the team is on board and no coaching change is made, there's absolutely no good reason to decline a bowl bid that outweighs the positives associated with playing. Go to Nashville, beat some middling Big Ten team and start looking forward to next season with Bailey/Salter running the offense from day one.

 

[Orangeblood75]

This team has been poorly prepared all year, our coaches can’t make any halftime adjustments. This team is just bad with better players than half the teams we’ve played. 3/8 no thanks

 

[knox73]

Yes if Music City.

 

[Volfan574]

I voted yes, I’d say that the players would want to and Gray missed Tex A&M game so I’m sure he would want another game. Looking at ACC teams we probably deserve Georgia Tech or below. Wake Forest would be cool but they probably would want a better team to play lol.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Absolutely YES.

Everyone loves a good train wreck.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Since we don’t have a PAT kicker, can we add a LV from the soccer team to the roster?

 

[Volinnooga]

If live to see a bowl game with new head coach Gus Malzahn at the helm.

 

[peerless98]

It's disturbing to me how many fans have quit, yet the players keep giving their all.

 

[Tnphil]

The bowl season is upon us.....There won't be a whole lot of extra bowl practices like normal bowl seasons where there's a month from the last game of the regular season and the bowl game. Most all the bowls except the bigger bowls are done by Dec 31st. Music City is the 30th. which some say we will probably wind up.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Several players have quit. Several recruiting commitments have as well.

 

[mmmjtx]

Are we seriously considered for a bowl?

 

[vol66]

Oh c’mon people!!! We fire Pruitt before the bowl game. Rather than making Chaney interim Phil pulls a Wisconsin and names himself HC...and he pulls out a victory!!!

It would be so UT!

 

[knox73]

I wonder if recent game against a powerhouse like Texas A M gives Vols an advantage If bowl game in 10 days. Wish we could play Vandy again and if not another 3 win team will be good matchup. Would love to go to Music City Bowl to see our Vols. Play the kids and practice and then practice some more.

 

[peerless98]

Several players have quit. Several recruiting commitments have as well.

Which on the field contributors have quit? Recruits aren't players btw.

 

[HalfullVol]

of course you accept a bowl bid, rednecks

this gives great exposure to our situation

 

[vols 30]

I vote yes. Another game for Bailey could be beneficial

 

[JMSqb11]

I would gladly take a bowl if it means Chaney is interim and Bailey gets another start. Call me a glutton for punishment but I have no problem seeing someone like Trey Smith suit up one more time.
