Volunteers projected to play Memphis in Birmingham Bowl

[CAVPUT]

This could be the final nail in our coffin...unless Vanderbilt beats up by a field goal

I'd rather play Liberty or Ole Miss. Drive the point home.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

This is a joke right? UT vs Mem

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Please no.

 

[DarkAvenger]

we win both and we the best team in the state

We’re not beating Memphis.

Not necessarily...did you see Oakland HS in the 6A championship on Saturday night?

I know that people think we want that. But we don't want that. Disney will make a movie about it. We'll be the "team that gets the shaft" like in Forrest Gump or Blindside. Tired of being the extras-in-orange.

Just wait till one of our defenders lays a blindside, late hit, helmet to helmet on her. You know there’s a strong possibility of that happening too, with just how disciplined we play.
GBO!!

Just when we thought 2020 could not get any worse.

Large, you hit it out of the Park, let’s move on please
No Bowl for a 2 win team please

I'll take it. Birmingham is 1.5 hours south of me. Easy trip to see the VOLS play.

I wouldn’t give $.25 to see that game. Nor will I pay $20 to have someone watch my car so that it’s not sitting on blocks when I get back. Have any of you ever been to a game there? It’s a pit and that’s the nicest thing I can say about it. It would be a fitting end to an awful year to have Memphis beat us. However I can tell you that Memphis ain’t all that. Tulane whipped that tail Saturday and they are losing players left and right. But we don’t deserve a bowl game and should turn it down.

We will be an underdog to Memphis

 

[volcop1]

UT always brings asses in seats and cashe to wherever they play in a bowl game.
We get picked for a bowl this year that would be unheard of with a 3-7 record .
That's like handing out a participation trophy.

they only sell a limited number of tickets, a little thing call covid

My dad once saw UT play in the Garden State Bowl. That would be like the Rose Bowl vs whatever hot pile of BS this is supposed to be. Have some pride.

 

[volcop1]

UT ain't going to no bowl game

 

[Tnphil]

The Sun Bowl was cancelled today. It has been played every year since 1935.

The worst part is that I will be completely emotionally invested in that game

Sadly, It's been a few years for me to feel that way about a game . Probably Dobbs Senior year.

When I bought mine at a trade show.....
They had a set up flushing a bowl full of golf balls.
Impressed the hell out of me.
Mamma Bear is a fat gal with a high fiber diet
Best investment I ever made

Give it a test and tell us how good it is. Sneak Mamma Bear a half a jar of Metamucil and get back with us with the results.

Mamma Bear is bigger, stronger, and meaner than anyone on our DL. But she is cute.
YOU try to sneak her something, I will disavow any knowledge and promise you will get a proper burial out back with William the goat.

BFD

How sweet would a bowl victory be after the kind of season we had? I’d imagine the team will carry Jeremy Pruitt off on their shoulders just like they did when Phil Fulmer beat Kentucky in his final season.

 

[MaTaLa]

we win both and we the best team in the state

Sigh...yes, but...

 

[golfballs]

I might buy a tee shirt

Wouldn’t shock me in the least if she takes the game winning FG against us. Tennessee football loves to set records for all of the wrong reasons.

It's so bad for me now I can't even find any dark humor in it.
It's beyond that, I see no indications that the pattern of last 15 yrs is changing and apathy is a friend of mine.

If Harrison Bailey can get the work and have four more years, I’m good with it. Birmingham in the winter....watch from home with open cheap bar and toilet down the hall. If we play in Memphis, I’m in for ribs, blues, and visit my niece.

Is this the last game at Legion Field?
After learning the ropes, I actually enjoyed games there.
You pick up a kid on the hood of your car when you exit the Interstate. He holds on to the car wipers or antenna. You can't sling one off.
He directs you to Big Mamma's project home.. She sees your orange and directs you to a safe spot facing out usually by the BBQ. She takes the lady you are with inside to the bathroom. You pee behind the bushes with the grandsons, wash up with a garden hose. She then gives you several BBQ sandwiches cut with a 12 inch meat cleaver. She guarantees your car will not be touched and you will not be blocked in. Nobody messes with Big Mamma and her cleaver. All for 20 bucks (1970s)
