Vols out of Liberty Bowl due to Covid

[SuwaneeGAVOL]

I don’t want anyone to catch the virus, but I hope this is true and not just an excuse to get out of the bowl game...they used the COVID excuse this past Saturday with EG & BM...seems a little fishy

Did someone from UT say covid was the reason those players were held out?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Convenient timing

yeah, all too convenient

 

[BeardedVol]

This is like the 5th team to have a covid outbreak after playing aTm. Coincidence I’m sure.

That's a hard sell given Tennessee's current covid positive test rate and hospitalization numbers.

 

[ButchPlz]

Honestly wtf.

 

[JMSqb11]

LMAOOOO

The best line is "They accepted the invite but didn't have Covid test results back yet".........

If there is a move to be made, I expect it soon.

Tennessee to pull out of bowl game due to covid...

 

[Ten_Titans]

Pruitt after we lose to McNeese st or somebody next year:

"I'm not one for them there excuses but we missed a bunch of bowl practices ite"

 

[Delmar]

Pruitt and others have covid per ESPN

Thank goodness. This season has finally been put out of its misery.

Somethings changed between last night and now. This may go in our favor after all.

I hope everybody affected with Covid recovers and now maybe Army gets to play in this bowl game.

 

[CA_Vol]

What a fitting end to this ridiculous season.

 

[GAVol]

Chris Low has more sources in Knoxville than most of the local guys.

I get that, but I couldn’t even find a local guy retweeting the news.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Sounds like a pr call to me. I think they could see the ticket sales would be in the dozens, not thousands. Trying to avoid the embarrassment

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Well at least we got to watch Football this year, if thats what you want to call it

 

[BondJamesBond]

Give it to Army.

The bowl bid, not Covid.

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

Literally been the post at the top of the page for the last 10 minutes, just sayin.

Still no actual headline for it on Google News either.

Well isn’t that convenient

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Give it to Army

Should've been theirs to begin with! It was a disgrace that they were shunned in favor of the clown show we've been putting on the field!

 

[LadyinOrange]

How in the world were we bowl eligible in the first place?

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Wait... Tennessee made it through the entire season without having to postpone any games due to their own COVID-19 issues, but some cases pop up ten days away from a bowl game and now suddenly playing is just a bridge too far?

Seems completely ridiculous.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I joked last night that Pruitt and Fulmer statements yesterday on the bowl game could tick off the power structure and come back to haunt them and now this. Lol!

 

[Witch_Doctor]

Witch Doctor say with the Covid surge happening anyway statewide. no crowd. not playing for anything, Witch Doctor say lets hope he turns it around next season...right? Go Vols!

Bones Never Lie.

Is it COVID or a cover?

Yes
