I hope we get lots of HS studs watching this game and they fall in love with what we're doing.
I would love for some 4* and 5* studs to fall in love with the new Vols style of footVol and commit to us to give our recruiting a big shot in the arm.
We get to start fall practice 2 days earlier.
We get to watch our Vols 2 days earlier.
We get 2 extra days of practice to correct mistakes and be better prepared for Pitt.
Take Friday off and have a longer weekend.
I can't find anything not to like about this little change.
Pack the house and get Neyland rocking to celebrate 100 years of Tennessee footVOL at Neyland!!!
VFL...GBO!!!
Lets just hope this goes well and doesn’t give me a minor heart attack the way the previous school night games have gone. Georgia Tech, App State, UCLA. Those are the most recent ones I can think of and they all went down to the wire .
If we lost that game… Whoah that would be a very, very long weekend . I love College football opening weekend. It’s like Christmas morning to me and I watch it from Thursday until Monday night, that would be tough to stomach. Again.That's the way I look at it. Got a game on Thursday I am excited about and like you say, opens up Saturday. If we win on Thursday it makes watching other games more enjoyable. If we lose I have time to plan something else for Saturday.
Just took a look at the Week 2 schedule. I’m thinking our game vs Pitt will be at the very worst be a late afternoon kick and very likely a night game. The Week 2 schedule is pretty light.We should put up 50 in this one with our new offense and play all of the QBs to get ready for a tough second game against Pitt.
