Vols in Taxslayer Bowl - OFFICIALLY

[AnyoneListen?]

Awesome! I think this will be a great game. So excited to be in a bowl game again. So what side do we sit on?

 

[pualsline]

Clemson would have been a cool Gator Bowl matchup

Clemson would murder UT. Their D line is good

Dadgumit, travel day for me. What time is the game? Thank goodness for DVR!

So the real big question is, does Iowa have fast and good DE's?

 

[PA Vol]

"Iowa finished the year 7-5 overall and 4-4 in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes had wins over Northern Iowa, Ball State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, and Illinois with losses to Iowa State, Maryland, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska."

From their Rivals site.

We should win this. 7-6 and 4/5 games won to finish the year. You can't ignore that momentum as a recruit.

I understand that the Gator Bowl was once a great bowl, but is this a "lower-tier" game? Not being ungrateful, just wonder of this is a respectable game or not. Time to go Hawk Hunting. GBO!

No kidding. I don't want any of Clemson, not with a freshman QB. I like the matchup we got, because we've got a good chance of beating Iowa. They're just not that good. Great chance to carry some momentum into 2015, and not with a bowl loss that would cause us to finish with another losing record.

The Vols owe Clemson one, but let's see about that once our team has enough experience to have a good chance of beating them.

Whichever one the Vols are in that year is most prestigious

Based on where we are as a program, any bowl is a respectable game right now.

Jacksonville paper is reporting Tennessee vs Iowa St.

Wrong. Iowa. Not Iowa State

Gator Bowl is most prestigious.

Tennessee should receive about 4 million for this bowl.

 

[rocknrick]

7 million payout so they wanted us bad.

I have to say, I like all the SEC match up. Like being in Jacksonville. Love the LSU v Notre Dame match up. The conference did a good job with these matchups IMO.
