UT in Music City to play Purdue

[SpaceCoastVol]

Whole conference is except 2 teams

Kind of like the SEC?

You ended up there, yet started by informing us that Purdue is a horrible matchup for us?

I just did a complete look at their season in whole yea they have the big wins against Iowa and Sparty but they have some bad losses too worse than our losses. We can win this game.

Not saying we can’t beat them but this won’t be a easy blowout win.

Doesn't have to be.

That's absolutely not what you said lol. You wanted to be a wet blanket...............congrats.

I wouldn’t say horrible, but they have they 8th ranked passing offense in the country while Tennessee has the 103rd ranked passing defense. Problem for Purdue is I don’t think they would be able to stop Tennessee either.

Not excited about the "stature" of our opponent, but they did beat Iowa on the road plus Michigan State.
It is what it is. Go Big Orange!!!

I was wanting a Penn St or Clemson or VaTech match up, however, I think JH and staff can use the in-state bowl game exposure to grow our brand in TN and also spend more time in middle TN with 2023 targets...

Was hoping for Florida but it is what it is...Nashville in December is just not my thing but hey TV games are great too right? lol

Screw you, it’s an opinion think we deserve better.[/QUOTE]

And what exactly do you think UT deserves?

LOL no. SEC is light-years ahead of everyone else.

It should be a high scoring game and exciting. However I would’ve rather played Penn. St or Wisconsin.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think a 7 win TN team deserves better?

 

[BACKDOC]

Dude purdue can throw the football . Game is going to be like 48-40

They only avg. 27 points per game.

No

Not really. Unless you consider the Dukes Mayo Bowl more prestigious than the Music City. The Citrus, Outback, and Gator are the only bowls that are more highly thought of than the Music City. Those bowls are getting teams that had better seasons than Tennessee.

Definitely not.

It not the site it’s the match up

Just amazed at fans who have already forgotten where we've just been and come from with the likes of Dooley, Butch and Pruitt. One would think any bowl and any opponent would be celebrated by fans of a program that's pretty much been forgotten by CFB. Hell, it's been pretty difficult to even make a bowl of late.

I'd be willing to bet that Heupel is pretty damned happy to be in the Music City bowl. He's chomping at the bit to schmooze with all that mid-state talent that we so desperately want choosing UT in the years to come. We hopefully snap up all the tickets we can and turn it into a home game for us. That's gonna paint a really nice picture for the recruits and their families.

I'm pretty stoked to be in Nashville for our bowl game. No complaints from this fan.

Went to the Music City Bowl a few years back when we played Nebraska. Twas definitely cold but Josh Dobbs warmed those Cornhuskers up pretty good!

This is horrible, just stay home

We all voted and would appreciate it if you would stay home.

 

[Sara Clark]

It's been announced on utsports. If going, it's official. Go.....

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Confirmed, finally. Disappointed, especially with the Orange & White game being in Nashville a few months later, but it is what it is.

Yep. Lame. And lame opponent.

 

[Zues1]

Iowa and Michigan state are both overrated.

Iowa are always slow paper tigers.
We beat them like a drum as well

 

[govols105]

Orange and white game in Nashville?
