why do we play Arkansas next year

[GetEmVols]

Are we not playing them out of order with Ole Miss? Was I wrong in thinking that there was an order? SIAP

I’m glad we are playing them. Free win. Especially if they hire Lyle.

I remember a lot of people counting our blessings for starting out with GA State & BYU this year

If you've seen any of Arkansas's games the past 2 years, you'll know that they are a FCS team currently. When you get destroyed by North Texas and Western Kentucky, you're not an FBS team.

I think it's # of home & away games and how they fall those two years.. We have to play at ark.. And we have to play ole Miss at home....

The fact that it’s still being brought up is ridiculous. Move on.

It happened, It can happen again.
As a Vol fan I hope it doesn't, but for any Tennessee fan in their right mind, and in this current season who is projecting an automatic win on next years schedule against an SEC opponent is irresponsible at best and on the verge of lunacy at worst.

If you watch a a wide range of footage from our VOLS from the last 10 years you could leave with the same impression. I do not take any scheduled game as an automatic victory. I have been conditioned this way from years of fandom......

Hopefully Tennessee will beat an Arkansas team coached by Butch Jones

Really wish we'd go to a 9 or 10 game conference schedule

When was the last time the Vols beat Arkansas? Has Butch Jones ever beat Arkansas?

The Arkansas natives will love Butch Jones corny sayings, he'll make them Champions of Life in no time flat!

The people are awful. Other than that, its tolerable.

Naw. Peeps in NW Arkansas are more educated than the hill jacks in Knoxville

The Beverly Hillbillies was a pretty accurate representation of people from Arkansas

Arkansas was a historical minor rival for us. They are also terrible right now so we should beat them. Key word being "should."

Educated doesn't remedy being a POS.

My history is a little fuzzy, but I think Arkansas is on a three win streak against us.

There is a regular rotation but they want the home and home to swap so that requires an occasional rearrangement to make that happen.
