Our Last Thursday Night Game

Seeing the opener get moved up brought back some nice memories of our last Thursday night regular season game.We rocked Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl 41 - 3. That was a fun game to watch in person. Our D showed out that night.

That loss to Memphis haunts me to this day. That along with the 2001 SEC Championship and the 2011 Can Turkey games are my lowest points as a Vol

Losing to Vandy in 2013 did it for me.

Yes it was

According to D4H this year's team will be better.

According to D4H this year's team will be better.

According to D4H, every team we come up against would be better advised to forfeit in advance than have to face us.

2011 Kentucky was my low point.

I would have fist fought Dooley if I was around him.

The least amount of effort I ever saw out of a TN squad. I knew the moment that game ended that Dooley was not the answer.

Moving the game to Thursday sucks. So much for a nice Saturday outing. Some of us have to work and have our kids in school Friday.

 

[Paper_Towel]

Oh look, Ole Miss on probation?

 

[MurphyVol]

I will rarely agree with anything that Mike Hamilton ever said but I liked his perspective on Thursday night games.

He said we should have a top notch opponent and it should be an away game. Too many of our fans drive from areas 100+ miles away on game day.

 

[Biopsyman]

I guess I will have the "flu" Thursday and Friday for work

 

[bigdaddy]

How the game has changed since then. Have to say I liked it better then. That run we had in the 90s may never be achieved again. Some great teams. Wasn't Fulmer like 47-5 or something like that?

Agreed. Vandy/USCjr. play on ESPN and the Titans play that night too. I don't understand the logic of moving to the SECN on a Thursday night...

 

[edyeary]

Especially with the Titans playing. Why not a Friday night? High school football?

Yes, and with Friday night HS football not as many recruits will have the opportunity to attend the game

and just how Bray looked out there......:cray::bash::disappointed:

it was Numbing!

Let's face facts here...

Who in their right mind would want to watch Vandy and USCe?

Tennessee's last Thursday home game was a 46-0 route of Kentucky on Thanksgiving Day in 1938, when the Vols went 11-0 and allowed only 16 points during a NC season.
The Vols last opened a season with a Thursday home game in 1896 when the fourth varsity team in school history opened a four game season with a 10-6 win against the Williamsburg Institute (now the University of the Cumberlands) .
Researched by T-FP Tennessee beat writer Patrick Brown.

Randy Sanders is the most shocking imo.
