Had some friends in town today


May 13, 2018, 8:21 PM

From Bristol. ‘They’ say the talk of the town is a game in the near future in the speedway between UT and our Tigers.
Personally, I hope this never happens because I remember all to well the turmoil in the early 80’s caused by the Vols. I know our future schedule has been made for several years and it doesn’t include this game in this venue.
Supposedly it has already been mentioned on the tv stations in that area.
Anyone know about this?

A lot of rumblings and some maybe games with Georgia/Tennessee. I was not impressed with the first game@ the Speedway. Some friends said the seating was too far removed from the field and tickets were too high. Plenty of other neutral sites if it happens

I agree. A lousy place for a football game. Not that great race track either!

Yeah, watching a FB game at bristol would be like watching

a Basketball game in Death Valley.

A home and home with UCLA would be nice.

Tennessee won't play us in Clemson so can't do a home and home.


May 13, 2018, 8:29 PM

Therefore there has been discussions regarding a neutral site. Bristol was mentioned at one time but I hardly see that as neutral and I don't really see anything great coming from a game with them but the last part was just my opinion.

May 13, 2018, 8:34 PM

As I recall, after the probation was placed on Clemson because of the UT involvement, Clemson said they would never schedule them again. I’m certain that I read that years ago. A good question for Mr. Bourette who knows everything!

Just my personal bias, but I hope


May 13, 2018, 8:35 PM

we never play those cheatin' bastige Vols again. And while this chip on my shoulder is a result of them cheating the Tigers way back in the mid-70's, those buttwipes are on the verge of SEC desperation and the extent to which they'll stoop to win is undoubtedly at Marianas Trench depth

The Tigers playing the cheatin'Vols can only benefit their program...and we're already recruiting well in that state anyhow

May 13, 2018, 8:39 PM

I agree 100%. Playing them would be to much of an aid to their program. The win in Atlanta was one of my personal great Tiger victories .... even if Bowden got the credit! UT is on their way to obscurity and I enjoy every minute of it.

Exactly


May 13, 2018, 9:04 PM

No desire to go to Bristol and play Tennessee. More of a home field for them at a spectator UNfriendly venue. Add in being robbed twice in the 70s at Knoxville and UT getting some prime SC talent (Stanley Morgan and Haynesworth to mention a couple) over the years, there is nothing to be gained. We have the upper hand now.

Not afraid of Vols. Play home and home or not at all.

Tee Higgins catching 7 TDs in Knoxville would be sweet.***

Not sure why we would ever want to play game there?

If they want us (and you know good and well that they don’t) they can come to our house. We don’t need them and we aren’t in the SEC charity business.

Re: Had some friends in town today


May 13, 2018, 10:13 PM

Agreed. We already play a charity game against an SEC Least Sisters of the Poor team every year. Don’t need another one.

Wouldnt attend, bristol is a garbage venue for football

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wife's cousin attended the VT/UT game at Bristol a few


May 13, 2018, 10:02 PM

years back. Said it was very hard to see the field from the seats, concessions were sky high, and lines were very long. I don't think that's a venue that would be a good fit for the Tigers.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Still say lets schedule the Ole Miss Hottie Toddy's


May 13, 2018, 10:17 PM

The bag man is gone, half the players are gone, and they still have never lost a party! Hottie Toddy Party at the Grove!

6 hours 45 minutes from Clemson. We can handle it!
