Its looking more and more like we will head west

[SpeedyVOL]

To the Liberty Bowl to play either TCU or WV. I know nothing about either team. If by some miracle we beat T A&M, I think we move up to the Music City Bowl.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Who cares? Only thing we need right now is new leadership. An actual head coach.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Are you serious? A team that loses 7 games by 10+ points belongs on campus getting their crap together.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I'm in no way excited at the prospect of going 3-8.

 

[wmcovol]

Going to a bowl game this year would be as embarrassing as losing to Ga State. Let the kids go home.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Nothing like going 3-7 to play for a crappy bowl game.

 

[Iam4utalways]

It’s another game to watch. I’m in. I might even get to go. Covid caused me to only get to go to 1 game this year. Memphis or Nashville works for me. I prefer Nashville because that means we shirked the world and beat A&M.

 

[VOLnBama01]

The only advantage to going to a bowl game would mean more practice for the young players.

 

[Southeastern VFL]

TCU is 6-4 avg. 30.8 ppg and WV is 5-4 avg. 26.7 ppg looks like 2 decent teams but I agree I am just ready for Pruitt to be fired oh dang I mean for the season to be over with.

 

[Delmar]

Absolutely ridiculous that we’d take a bowl game at 3 and 7. Not a chance that I’d spend money to see that game and I live down here. One, we don’t deserve a bowl game and two, the coldest I’ve ever been at a football game was in the Liberty Bowl. Ain’t happening. Of course the conference may not give them a choice. If Sankey says go in order to fill the conference slot, they’ll probably go.

"The kids really practice hard"

 

[captainsword]

WV is not near as good as when we played them last. I grew up in WV and have followed them since the late 70s. They have a decent quarterback and skill players. It should be a close game if we end up playing them.

This is not trivial. Even for all of the haters out there, you've got to want the kids to get as much practice as they can. Heaven knows they need it...

 

[TnVol!]

It would give Hugh Freeze 2 extra weeks to get his team ready.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Let them get together on their own for a couple weeks and run scrimmages in the park . If the team has any leaders and a will to win they would do that on their own.

Normally, I'd be all for a bowl game but this year, I am not in favor of seeing us play in a bowl for the following two reasons:

1. These players have been through enough trying to keep themselves isolated and safe from COVID. They need a break from football. We all need a break from this season. They need to be able to go home and somewhat enjoy the holidays as much as one can in 2020.

2. Perhaps I am old school, but when you don't have a .500 record or a winning record, you do not deserve to be in a bowl game. I am not a fan of putting players and staff at risk for 10-15 more practices when they will be idle until March-April (spring football).

 

[chattavol420]

Would live the see freeze or malzahn coach that bowl game. Or even an interem coach like tee. He’ll let me coach. Anyone but Pruitt. My god that dude is clueless as a head coach

 

[amaralfan1]

I'm so tired of this "we should be ashamed" mantra going around. Yes, we aren't good and we should get rid of Pruitt... But if we are offered a bowl game it is a no brainer. It gives us another game to watch and one more game for our seniors. We get extra practices (which can only help) and if we win, the season feels a little less awful. I understand being pessimistic, but in extra game would be one of the few bright spots for the Football Vols in 2020.

We will lose Saturday... and I bet anything will decline a bowl bid regardless where it is. Just my guess.

Accepting a bid at 3-7 is pathetic. No way man. People will watch and laugh at us, only cementing our downfall,, but on a National stage.... as if it isn’t already

This is so true.

I bet the team votes down any bowl game offer...Be interesting to see Pruitt's reaction if that happens...

 

[Christian Lowe]

I’ve heard most of the team doesn’t want to go to a bowl and will opt out of playing in one

Who cares if they laugh? Our younger players gef more practice and an extra game, the AD gets to add to its coffers and us fans get a bonus game. People are already watching and laughing at us. Might as well reap some benefits from it.

Think I heard on the radio that schools probably would be forced by SEC to go play if given the chance in order to get their share of the conference money. Not sure if that’s true or not.
