Actually, I wonder if there have been discussions, at least from the UT side?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Wow. Shaka is #10. Good for him and TU.

My guess would be Texas/Shaka isn’t interested. Losing the game would be catastrophic from a fan support perspective. Not worth the risk for them I’d assume.

Yes, I was being a bit sarcastic because the other UT wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. But, do you think the real UT reached out to them, or that Rick said no? That would actually be an interesting game.

Well the NCAA tournament will take care of that ; IF we have one.

It would be so like the selection committee to put Tennessee and Texas in the same bracket hoping for the Rick Barnes vs his old school that spurned him game. I’d love it

Not sure, honestly.

Rick has stated previously he wouldn’t play Texas if he had the choice, it’s why you’ve not seen UT/UT in the SEC/B12 challenge.

For whatever it's worth, not a one of those (top) ten teams had a good yr in football this Fall

TBF Villanova’s season got moved to the spring and they return basically everyone from a 9-4 team. They’ll be the dark horse to unseat JMU and win the CAA

Football forum is that way➡

I feel pretty confident of having one. They're going to play in a single location, right? Bubble situation

March is the tail end of flu season. So as long as teams can get in enough games I’d think they’ll have it too.

Is winning the CAA kinda like winning the NIT?

No it would be like winning your conference

 

[HippieVol33]

Georgia has our number[/QUOTE It does feel that way when we play them on the road. But we whipped them the last time they saw us on The Summitt.

 

[HippieVol33]

I really don’t know how I messed this up. Apologies.

 

[Roustabout]

Wow. Shaka is #10. Good for him and TU.

He’s a good coach. Surprised it’s taken him this long.

I think his stint in Texas has shown that he was overrated and is just an OK coach.
