Tennessee will host Troy in 2020

[Kinger]

Poke a hole in the Trojans!!!

Bama got like four cupcakes on their schedule for years. I'll take some easy wins.

Our high school used to play the Dyersburg Trojans for homecoming a lot back in the mid 90s. The homecoming floats that went around town were umm..........

The problem is we've been one of those cupcakes for most of the last decade.....

I'd rather for a change in the future have Tennessee drop Chattanooga or Charlotte and play Kennesaw State

Bama has earned a lot more street cred than we have in recent decades.

Maybe so. But street cred shouldnt earn you the schedules that they had. It was crazy.

Truth.

Troy is just down the road from Dothan where much safety gear is produced. I expect their coverage schemes to be sound.

Someone is trying to make sure we get a bowl game next year!

 

[KBVol]

Tennessee has no business playing the likes of Furman and Charlotte

Better statement is “why the hell are we, as a team who’s won 9 games and 2 conference games the last year’s, scheduling a dominant Oklahoma program while we’re in the middle of trying to get back to even being competitive with freaking Vanderbilt?”

Do you know @Orange defense? Or Chris Russell?

Sorry. Had to.

Yeah, the difference is, when they've played other elite teams, they've had a pretty good record under Saban, as the NC's attest. That earns them some benefit of the doubt that we won't have (at least the first year dominant record we have).

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I've said before, I'd like to see us play one OOC power 5 in Neyland every year. I think if the play-off expands it'll be beneficial to beef up our OOC schedule. Some of the other schools, namely Florida, Georgia, and USCjr are doing it already, all 3 are playing 2 power 5 OOC's this year and have plans in the future to play 3. We haven't played 2 since 2003. We could add some games that would fit that bill that we could likely win AND get exposure in states we need to recruit, I am thinking home and homes with Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia, Maryland, etc.

So basically the founding members of the ACC. I would like to see the Vols play in Charlottesville bc I’ve never been there and GT at their home venue, not MB.

 

[FLVOL_79]

A no-nonsense program wins three of those by more than 50 and acquits itself well in the tough OU game. Seems straightforward.

We aren't a no nonsense program.

Including us?

You beat me to it.

 

[MBVFL1]

Why not? We play 2 tough OOC opponents in OU (sure loss) and Troy.....and Charlotte beat the flying F out of us last year everywhere except the scoreboard (barely). We’re one of the worst college football programs in the country right now and desperately need wins....I’m good with the schedule.

That is a load of crap. Were we very good in the sec? no we weren't, but we pulled 2 upsets of top 25 teams both of which are sec teams. We may have been one of the worse teams in the sec but not the country, and you know that your just determined to be as negative as possible.

 

[MBVFL1]

Including us?

Good job that is so funny!! There's the reaction you were hoping for congratulations

 

[Tin Man]

There goes our RPI.

Yeah. I cannot believe they scheduled that faux FBS school, Oklahoma...

 

[Matt2496]

This will not be a cupcake. They beat LSU at Death Valley a couple years ago and gave Clemson a hell of a game when they played them.

Oklahoma will actually make us better. Charlotte and Furman won’t do that

We may have been one of the worse teams in the sec but not the country, and you know that your just determined to be as negative as possible. Honestly I've never seen a positive post from you. Don't worry maybe one day you'll figure out which team you actually want to be a fan of.

A year and a half as a member of Volnation, and you've appointed yourself as chief of the true fan police. Go away, newbie.

I'd like to see FSU and Miami too, neither of them is a certain L at this point or any in the future, definitely not FSU right now. They were as bad as we were last year.

Wrong. Its not the 90s anymore. We need any win we can get.
