I’m excited about the stuff you mentioned in the last paragraph, but you can’t guilt me into being excited to play a team that we would normally only see if we paid them to come take a beating in Neyland.

I’m not an island about this.

Not guilting anyone. I’m just stating the truth.
again……Orange Bowl vs Clemson would be unbelievable! Team has earned the right to play in that game vs that opponent. I’m just not going to complain about any New Years 6 bowl in year two of a major re-build.

Boycott the game and stay home…….geez

Disappointing? Deserve? In a small way, yes. I’d much rather play Clemson in the Orange Bowl, but it might not happen.
Any New Years 6 game is huge for this program. If ya can’t get excited about that, something is wrong? Coaches, players, and fans need to remember where this program was. Seventeen years since 10 wins?

Things are finally trending in the right way. Great staff, AD, players improving, recruiting getting better, attitude and swagger are back, but if we are disillusioned about a Cotton Bowl berth to the point that nobody cares…..my God. That’s sad.

Sorry. My rant. But……

And another thing, what’s this with you acting like I’m Jack Burton, just because I think our guys deserve a better reward for their season than being politicked into having to play a another G5 school? You know that’s not me.

It pisses me off how our program gets s**t on so much. I’m not gonna act like that’s not what happened if we end up in Dallas for the holidays.

Here’s the truth: our guys deserve a better reward for their effort than Tulane or UCF.

Here’s another truth: if not for the corrupt CFP ranking process or some B1G chicanery, they would get what they deserve.

Haha
you’re not him!:)

If UT ends up in Dallas, then it’s 100% an OSU thing. One more reason to hate the Buckeyes.

Agree with you 100% on this!

It still won’t ruin this season for me. ;)

They should absolutely do that................of course Sankey won't let that happen though. I would think the Sugar would rather have us too. Although the hotels in the area may want the bammers because they could save so much money on the complimentary hygiene products and toothbrushes and such.

Not true. They steal that stuff to sell it on eBay.

Yes, they have computers in Alabama. They're in the libraries. Of course, their libraries only have picture books.


They used to have coloring books, too, but they couldn't stop the people from eating the crayons.

The right way to do the playoff would have been to keep it at 4 teams, but as a separate group of games from the bowl season.

Get rid of conference championships and award those based on season record.

Then have the good old fashioned bowl season that we have always had. Once we have played all the bowl games, then do the rankings and let the top four teams duke it out.

It would have been the best of both worlds - a full, competitive bowl season that also acts as a larger quasi-playoff

Been a long day Vols. Lost a good friend. He fought the good fight but enters into Gods kingdom. And here I am in a hotel room, away from my family, chatting with you strangers. Please pray for my friend Richard. He was a good man with a wonderful perspective and great smile. He has a big family. It gives perspective. Be kind. Appreciate what we have. Bowl games don't matter. Whether the Orange, Sugar, or Cottom. Be thankful. Be happy. Be you. Love you all. Signing off.

There’s plenty reason to still be excited about it, and I hope our guys would feel the same. Let’s rewrite the record books.

However, OSU (and Bama, for that matter) can still pound sand.
