Bowl Game

[NO SIR EEE]

USC would be cool. Or Illinois.

No Iowa, please.

I'll never forget that Iowa fan sitting in front of me in Jacksonville in 2015 telling me that he should've never driven down lol.

 

[McDad]

It's the extra practices that matter the most, especially for the early enrollees

Agreed. There is benefit to a bowl game. And I want to see a win but it is a low priority for me.

 

[Manchester Vol]

Turlet Bowl

I’d play Iowa and not Georgia Tech, we open with them next year. Plus Tampa is a better location.

 

[livefaith]

USC, WA, IL in Tampa would be a pretty sweet end for a lackluster year. Now the game itself might be different.

 

[livefaith]

USC would be cool. Or Illinois.

No Iowa, please.

If we play them again, we need to join a conference together

 

[Sarms58]

We couldn't do it with Pavia, I'm skeptical that we can do it much better vs King. He'd likely torch our defense as well.

No, we need a slow, plodding offense with a somewhat immobile, preferably lame, QB to face in a bowl game.

Iowa?

 

[SubVet676]

Projections are saying MCB vs Illinois.

 

[RockyTop140]

Kind of a shame if it ends up being GT. We play them next season already

 

[Volador]

I am in the minority but the bowl game, aside from another game to watch my team before the long dry spell, is meaningless. It's an exhibition. I don't care if they win or lose. It matters for the coaches and some players, though.

Well Hoooooollllllld on there Bobalouie - do I detect apathy?????




Ditto your apathy......

LOL. I don't think it is apathy. I think once the BCS and (now) CFP came on the scene, the significance of bowl games took a nosedive.

Me three. Once we lost to Oklahoma I checked out emotionally.

[Pappy]

USA Today projected the Vols to face Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl. That's a good bowl for travelling fans.

Haynes KIng will blister our DL

 

[Redheads]

Just a question. Since the rules have changed and now we are paying players, how do players get the option to just opt out? Seems like with a contract to play they should be required to show up and play if they’re healthy.

 

[overseasorange2]

Just tackle the QB every play…

Yes. We recently got allot of practice with Pavia.

Dang. Second call out that I am apathetic.

I would work on changing myself but I just don't care enough to do it.

 

[Brandon88]

We don't need to play another team with a running QB until Tim banks leave.

 

[Sarms58]

Yes. We recently got allot of practice with Pavia.

We failed that practice - probably should have had to run the stadium after the game

 

[Rifleman]

Miami seems doubtful, even though it's a Jacksonville game.

Among those teams, Louisville, USC, and SMU are the most interesting, imo.

I feel sorry for whatever big bowl has to take Vandy. Their few dozen fans do not travel at all.

Maybe Vandy can buy some fans out of the portal too? Once Bama loses to Georgia, they should have some fall of the bandwagon that need cash for trailer rent and a restock on fent.

 

[Delmar]

Yes. We recently got allot of practice with Pavia.

Could have fooled me.

You misunderstand Dad. I was agreeing with you about the bowl game. I’ll probably watch it (better than watching Golden Girl reruns) but I don’t really care about the result of an exhibition game.

Sorry. Since we are like minded, maybe we can watch the game together.

Or not, I don't care either way...

No apathy on my end.

 

[rocketskates]

Ugghh, these potential bowl match ups are uninspiring to say the least. Iowa is the most boring team ever. It's like playing Kentucky.

Can we not play someone like SMU, Houston, AZ, AZ St, or Louisville?

I hope it’s not Iowa. We’ve played them twice in the past 10 years and blew their doors off both times. No desire to see that again.

It’s a great opportunity to add another (fill in the name) bowl game sweatshirt for the old closet.
