I don't get the love for playing Miami or Notre Dame. To me Notre Dame needs to join a freaking conference.

And Miami. Well I just hate them. They were always thugs of the 80's when I was growing up.

I selected them for recruiting and national exposure. I also named Memphis. I think that would be a win every year and it would be good for West Tennessee to see the Vols every other year.

Actually its a good question for the offseason when we are arguing about what jersey combination looks better.

I think we need to schedule more games against ACC like Virginia, NC, NC State, and Clemson those can be nice little recruting grounds for us.
Fulmer pulled a bunch of kids from Cali so I did like the idea of playing out there but I dont see us recruiting much from there anymore.

I'm actually tired of watching us tack on another loss outside of SEC play while we're trying to rebuild.
No championship rings for having the hardest schedule.
Until we are back to playing top 5 football with top 5 talent, I'd like to see low level non conference teams coming to Neyland so we can work on getting better, resting starters, and building depth.

This totally. I'd rather play NC St. Syracuse, Kansas, Maryland, or Minnesota. Instead of Oklahoma and Oregon type teams. We need to forget about strength of schedule for two to three years and get to bowl games. This will build experience, a winning culture, and depth in the system. We can play the harder out of conference team later.

I want a home and home with MTSU because I'm an alum and still live in the boro and would love to see UT come to Floyd

Memphis has the talent to put a scare into UT right now.

But Maryland. Come in those uniforms are horrible.

Living in Ohio and hating Ohio State would love to see a home and home against them. Also would like to see a Michigan home and home, and WVU.

Being that most of these "harder" OOC games are scheduled many years in advance (the Oklahoma series was scheduled 10 years ago) when is a proper time to schedule these games.

Bruce Pearl's theory works because in bball you play roughly 30 games and no one is expected to go undefeated or hardly even 1 loss. Plus you have a 64 team tournament to play into the Championship. Fball is 4 teams brother, there will be some really good 1 loss teams left out quite possibly this year. Look at Bummers OOC schedule, it is never rated to high. They just plop those 4 wins on their resume and rock on from there. We do not need Oklahoma right now. Heck when we get where we are going in a couple of years we will be playing the best teams from accross the country in the FBS Championship playoffs anyways.

It actually worked in football when Miami and Florida State played anyone anywhere during the late 70's and 80's to build programs from absolutely nothing. Both of those programs were trash before Bowden and Schnellenbuger.
