I see your phone likes to play the same tricks as mine does.

For the life of me though, I can't figure out what you meant to write.

I like playing tough OOC games though. Especially for the National attention.

I was just thinking today how cool it would be to schedule a home and away with Texas and Michigan.

Just maybe not the 2nd game of the season.....

But moving UF would be very beneficial, I believe.

Of course UF would likely never agree....

I think strong OOC competition helps us. As a team we were as physical this year as UF and way more physical than UGA that wilted under Bammer as well. The Dawgs used to see Clemson & USCe before us and the last couple of years Spurriers team has not been up to par so I think they are softer when they see us these days. I attribute some of our toughness to our having faced OU early.

Look anyone can say anything they want.

I have been for this for years. I just want Florida to schedule a top 15 opponent regularly in the first 3 games of the season and let's see what happens to this series.

Let's play spades with even number of spades and see what happens. It's easy to run knock right and beat Florida Atlantic etc. and save your cards while seeing our cards while we play top 10 talent. Grow some balls is what I ask? I dare you.

No, I was being facetious about it.

We need to stop trying to make our schedule like Ohio State and just start winning the dang games!

I would love to see us schedule UF later in the year. Also, think that the games should be at night. 20 degrees cooler and less humidity with no sun beating down? Everybody wins in that scenario.

Good for you.
At this point I would be thrilled and more than satisfied beating them even if all they could field were half a team and all of them were walk ons.

I agree, I wanna beat em as well no matter how we do it. I was just sayin I wanna beat em (as well) when they are on it so those Gators have no excuses.

I hope it at the same time next year. Hoping to convince my future wife to make a pit stop in Knoxville before going on our honeymoon.

I am all for moving Fla. back to a rotating once-every-seven year or whatever it was- schedule. The problem is, I don't know who else from the West, that I would want us to be playing every year in place of Florida.

No way in hell UF schedules UT within 2 weeks of FSU in November. Not happening. Don't blame them. They typically get South Carolina in November as well.
Click to expand...

this is the problem,Fla isn't going to schedule the Vols late in the season due to this game

and it doesn't really matter,they both have the same amount of time to prepare for this game,so it is no excuse for bad play

That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works............... See what in did there??

Anyway on a serious note we gotta play Floriduh every year due to them bein in the east. We couldn't substitute a west team for them.

Since UT has played musical games with Vandie and UK over the years and moved Missouri back and UK up.....is it possible UT would consider switching Vandie and UF?

For some reason UT just can't seem to get it together every year for the UF game. I think playing more of a season before facing them would greatly benefit the Vols and prepare them for the matchup. Especially if the Vols are sitting in a position where that game would literally come down to deciding the East....

UT needs to demand that this game be moved to November---UT will have a much better chance to beat fla after they play tough games like UGA.

That's never going to happen. The SEC front offices aren't going to force UF into such a heavy back-ended November schedule where they either possibly face TN the week before playing their major rivalry game against FSU, possibly face TN the week after playing their major rivalry game against UGA, or have those 3 games in a 4-week period. The front offices wouldn't do it to any SEC team with regards to their scheduling.

The closest thing you would ever get is something like 2014's schedule, where TN's game against UF got bumped back to the first weekend in October and the game against UGA got bumped up into September.





(Moving Vandy also wouldn't work because that's the same weekend that UF plays FSU each season.)

It's really about the SEC front offices making the schedules.


I'm not sure we'd get Texas, Michigan, etc, to agree to a mid-season major OOC game. The Power 5 schools seem to realize that it's better to schedule any OOC games early, since an early loss has less detriment. (Also the set up allows everyone to keep focus on the upcoming teams/systems they know and see yearly in conference play rather than interrupting it to learn new ones.)

I'd like Missouri and Florida to switch places in the schedule and I wouldn't mind Tennessee playing a cupcake out of conference schedule(a lot of other teams do that)

If you're talking about where UF & Missouri are on our schedule, the SEC front offices wouldn't do that to UF. That'd put them playing games against TN and FSU in back to back weeks...which also run on the same years for home-&-away, meaning it would also create years where UF wouldn't have a home game the last two weekends of the season (and in those same years TN would have 3 or even 4 straight weeks of home games).

The front offices wouldn't do that to or for either team.



(If you're talking about swapping where TN and Missouri are on UF's schedule, that would have to involve reorganizing UGA's, and Missouri's schedules as well, So you're more or less looking at what you saw in 2014, with UT playing UGA 9/26 and UF on 10/10. While that just moves UF's Missouri game to 9/26, it also means that UGA would have been given a stretch this year of South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and then Missouri before reaching any sort of bye week or second OOC game. That part might be harder to sell the conference's front offices on.)

Maybe FL doesn't want the game moved because they want a few easy games before FSU
Click to expand...

Mostly. They want that FCS-game week right before FSU the same way that UGA wants one before GA Tech, South Carolina wants one before Clemson, Auburn wants one before Bama, and Bama wants one before Auburn.

(And presumably from this season onwards, Kentucky is getting one the week before playing Louisvillle.)

There is some degree of yearly variance in it, correct?

So maybe move the South Carolina and UF game. That way it is later in the year and doesn't conflict with their FSU game. It would possibly benefit Tennessee and likely give more emphasis on the Eastern Division outcome. I think it would be a great move for the conference in general in may put more emphasis on rekindling what the game used to mean to the conference
Click to expand...

On our schedule? That puts UF-UGA and UF-UT in back to back weekends without a break. The SEC offices aren't going to do that to them.


You'd have a slightly better chance (albeit still unlikely) of moving the South Carolina and UT games on their schedule, but that also seems unlikely because then the front offices would be forcing South Carolina to play a major game against UGA followed immediately by a game against UF...also meaning that South Carolina's conference schedule would end on the first weekend in November each season and the end of every year for them would be 3 straight OOC games (really front-loading the Gamecocks' schedule).

(Not to mention, there's probably also a chance the latter's unlikely just because it would put so many SEC "Big 6" (UF, UGA, UT, Alabama, LSU, Auburn) matchups on the tail-end of the season. Those are generally higher guaranteed ratings, so the conference ideally spreads them and doesn't want two of annual matchups from such sharing ratings on a given weekend (flipping UT and USCe on UF's schedule means the UT-UF and LSU-Bama share the same weekend).)

To be fair to them, they probably scheduled that VT series back when the Hokies were regularly winning 10-11 games a season.

They also have an upcoming home and homes with OU, TCU, Oregon, and Notre Dame+Texas (the last two series being scheduled in the same seasons).

How'd that work out last season?

This thread cracks me up. So the SEC should move the UF game back because UT isn't prepared in Sept? Makes sense.:crazy:

Never seems to bother UF.

This thread is sad. How could we possibly have caught Florida at a better time this year? It's always one thing or another to try and rationalize why we suck against them.
