do I care about making a meaningless Bowl Game? Why would that indicate we had a glimmer of a successful season. The Bench Mark Bowl Game is 3 years from now.
The Vols playing against some hyphenated team in the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl means little. Few if any on here touting a Bowl Game would travel farther that Nashvegas to attend anyway. Anyone up for a trip to Shreveport?
The ONLY inkling of a reason would be additional practice time...……..and with the walking wounded we have on the Hill...…….I'm not sure that would help.
I want CJP to get his players on campus and let the real work begin. His grade card is a couple years away!

meh.

says things are definitely back in a positive direction after last year.

it also provides another month of practice and development for a team that will only be losing 10% of the roster going in to next year. younger guys, especially on the DL and OL can use all the reps they can get.

if nothing else it's a pre spring camp. that's valuable for a program that's int he situation we're in....

It's another football game to watch my beloved VOLS take the field one last time before that long dreaded off season..... That's reason enuff in it's self. And if you wouldn't like to get that 1 extra game to watch at the end of the season then we may need to check your fan card on the way out. Go VOLS 🍊

There are no downsides to a bowl game, apart from a career ending injury. More practice, more exposure, more in-game experience, more money, more bragging rights for whatever big-ten/acc team we get to smash.

More positive exposure for program (First year coach gets 4-8 team to a bowl!).
More MONEY for program (for a bigger bowl not small one) Sugar Bowl next year. :p:D
More a reward for players and coaches hard work.
More positive Exposure to recruits.
More practice time for ALL players (additional month).

But other than that.......!?!?

If I can make the bowl game, I will go.

And of course the extra practice would help. Especially with it being a new staff still

Well OP, the real question is...Why would any of us die hard, Orange blooded fans care if you care or not?

All of the reasons given before my post are rock solid, important reasons.

I honestly don't give a flying fish fart if you watch our bowl WIN or not.

I'll love every second of watching our beloved footVol Team play another game!!!

We don't need people like you and may the fleas of 1000 camels infest you forever.

Vol For Life...GO BIG ORANGE!!!

We get extra practices. That's the big deal. It's vital for young players and new players in the system.

This ^. Is this some big secret that most people dont know or can't understand?

Does the Blue Buffalo Wilderness High Protein Grain Free Natural Adult Dry Dog Food Chicken Bowl suck? Sure. But the kids get more time in pads and that is critical.

Because I love watching the Volunteers play football, and a bowl game means I get to do that one more time this season.

This...

It is better to be in the hunt for championships but some UT football is better than no UT football.


The extra practices are also beneficial to the guys who will be back next year.

I would think that it would be important to the fellows who won't be back with the team next year also. Some may never be in pads ever again. Does the game mean anything to Vol fans? It does to the majority I would like to think. Of course you are just trying to stir the pot and you have accomplished what you intended to do, so maybe you are happy now to get under others skin a little.
