Tennessee to appear in the Music City Bowl

[KingNick865]

Mississippi State has just accepted the Gator Bowl invite. Tennessee will most likely accept the Music City Bowl invite and will most likely face North Carolina.

Yep.

Is this official?

 

[Burhead]

Damn it I wanted the damn Gator Bowl.

As usual, Hamilton allows us to get strong armed with his limp wrist. He does a horribly weak job.

Florida accepted the Outback Bowl bid earlier today. USCjr will, in all likelihood, be in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

Oh well this is really where we belong...would have loved to the Gator though cause I could have gone.

If that's true, we have eight lower level seats for the MCB and hotel rooms for sale. I would have been happy to go to the MCB, but if the SEC pushed us out of a higher bowl, I will keep my dollars home.

ridiculous

 

[SpringBokVol]

I will say this, Hamilton does have history of getting the short end of the stick from Bowls. Not his strong suit. But this year with a 6-6 UT team, MCB is right.

I am not complaining.

 

[KingNick865]

Is this official?

Pretty much. Not sure if it will be UNC for sure as our opponent, but Tennessee's going to the MCB.

Bowls have to take teams with an above-.500 record before than can take .500 teams. I understand the hatred for MH, but take it easy this time, nothing he could do. This year, we should probably just accept the MCB and be damn happy with it.

Miss st.....hahaha....no way there 5,000 fans will travel

 

[TheVolunteer]

It's official -- #Vols are playing North Carolina in Music City according to source.

Looks like im getting tickets!

 

[theroyz71]

We didn't deserve to go to a higher rated bowl. We were 6-6.

Wait...what?

That's not accurate. The Gator Bowl wouldn't have been considering Tennessee or UGA if that were true.

How much?

 

[KingNick865]

Pretty disappointing after all of the buildup, but if you told me I'd be pissed about us not going to a NYD bowl back on Halloween, I'd have told you that you were crazy.

 

[vol4eva]

I don't know why people are mad, Miss State deserved a better bowl than us.
