Tennessee Bowl Game speculation (merged)

[checkerboard_charly]

Going to the Peach wouldn't anger me too much. If we drop behind any further than that, I say we decline the invitation. We have to stop this crap.

Peach is taking Georgia. Cotton Ole Miss. So we are looking at Music or Liberty.

This is totally bs.

Finishing second in the SEC east should be rewarded with a better bowl. If not, then it's complete.......... :bs:

 

[firespace]

good i hope they win go vols

 

[bigmike0307]

If we end up in a Tennessee bowl it's gonna suck

 

[Burhead]

If we get the Music City Bowl I'm going to be royally pissed and so will Kiffin. If we get snubbed I say boycott the game.

 

[OrangeBloodinTN]

Better yet, if it happens, maybe we organize a boycott of Outback Steakhouse.

The Outback will not pick UK for fear of future fallout or ramifications of such a pick. One individuals school of graduation will not determine the matchup, IMO.

 

[orange_fan_inVa]

I wish it was Penn State.

Iowa getting a BCS bid is an absolute farce.

if im not mistaken the iowa hawkeyes beat penn st last 2 seasons in a row. farce i think not.

 

[tripper]

Any word on who the Outback voted for?

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I feel like its either Cotton or Outback for us. UK likely gets dropped to Music City.. again.

 

[milohimself]

Let's get rid of the "K"!!!

Out of these teams, who do we think will bring the $$$? :unsure:

Us or Georgia.

That Penn State loss three years ago stung bad.

I was impressed with how well PSU traveled.

PSU has an insanely large alum base and fanbase across the nation. I've probably seen more Penn State gear across the nation than any other school in my travels.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. If I was the CEO of Outback, and a UT graduate, UT would get the invite.

Send them a message. Here's the link: Outback Bowl College Football Game - Contact Us

However, they've already voted.

 

[trevols81]

the Outback Bowl would be making a mistake choosing KY over the Vols for the simple reason that they don't travel nearly as well as us in football.

How much power does a corporate sponsor have over selecting bowl teams? Anyone know?

 

[volunteerlane]

Was he speculating or did he say he had a source?

He was speculating. He said Kentucky would make the Outback because of ticket sales

Even if you were beaten by that team the last game of the season and finished behind them in the conf. ?

 

[grimvol]

We are not a lock for the outback bowl.
Hubbs reporting on TOS is they dont vote till 5pm (Bowl Committee) and they are actually considering Kentucky (lulz)

Chris Lowe from ESPN says his inside source calls Ky going to the Outback Bowl.

I don't know for sure, but since there is a lot of their money involved, I'm sure they have quite a bit.

I hear you, but with anything other than the BCS, bowls can choose any team that qualifies, and UK qualifies.

Would the Chick-Fil-A bowl take a Georgia team for sure? What if Virginia Tech ends up as the ACC representative and they can choose between UT and UGA?
