Memphis could have very easily beaten us since 2014. And I think many people here even know that. Personally I think an annual rivalry with Memphis would not only be good for both schools but for the state as well. I would like to see us have an annual rivalry with them or UCLA.Why would Vols fans even care if Memphis is or isn't on the schedule. They will forever be irrelevant regardless of record
Because we don’t have to play every mis major loser team like Memphis just because they want to. Lol. They are a nobody. We play who we want when we want because we dictate our schedule. Not some CUSA AAC loser programReally? Then why haven't we played them since 2010? I also don't see Memphis backing away from other SEC teams since then.
I'm not saying any of the fans are scared of Memphis. But it seems like the administration doesn't want them on the schedule anytime soon.
If we had played Memphis every year from 2014 to 2020 there is a good chance they would have had a winning record against us.Because we don’t have to play every mis major loser team like Memphis just because they want to.

No they wouldn’t. The Tiggers are terrible and always will be. There is a reason no respectable conference wants them. So calling them a “tough” opponent is silly.If we had played Memphis every year from 2014 to 2020 there is a good chance they would have had a winning record against us.
If you are happy with two MAC teams on our schedule next year then so be it. I prefer at least 2 tough non conference opponents than just 1. I think it helps the team prepare better for the tougher conference schedule.
Georgia played Notre Dame in 2019 in addition to their usual annual non conference matchup with Georgia Tech. This year they have already played Clemson and still have Georgia Tech at the end of the year. All I'm suggesting is Tennessee play at least 2 tough non conference opponents each season. I think that's fair enough.We complain about our non conference schedule......we're not alone folks

We lost to Georgia State and had 3 losing seasons since 2014. What makes you think Memphis wouldn't have a winning record against us since? Are you scared of them like you are Army?No they wouldn’t.
