So Which Bowl

[Vols1891]

Tennessee sucks a little more than Nebraska.might even be a game to watch.Nebraska against lsu or Florida would be painful.

As a Tennessee fan, I agree that Nebraska is probably better than us right now. Plus at least your coach didn't try to get the Purdue job right after the last regular season game, only to be turned down. Here's a thread from our board about a potential Nebraska vs Tennessee matchup in case you're interested.http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-football/269184-tn-vs-neb.html

thanks for the link.I've never had an issue with Tennessee or their fans.thank bill dance and bonnaroo for that! Good luck with who ever you guys get in your bowl game.

No problem. Much respect here for Nebraska too.

Here is the thing I've been thinking about today and don't get. Why is it that two traditionally strong programs like Nebraska and Tennessee have had so much trouble getting over the hump and have had almost a 20 year period without a conference championship (I'm not 100% sure when you guys last won the Big 12, but it seems like it was like 99 or early 2000s...sorry if I'm wrong on that), when a program like Penn State goes through possibly the biggest scandal in the history of college sports, almost gets the death penalty, has annual scholarships reduced from 25 to 15, among various other sanctions, yet still wins the B1G title and almost makes the playoff just 5 years later? When all this went down, I remember thinking Penn State probably wouldn't be relevant in football for a decade or two.

I'm still hoping for the Outback bowl. I'll take prestige over time slot any day.

Why is it? Luck.

So, which if any of these are official?

I want to go to Outback just because the fiance told me at the beginning of the season we wouldn't be watching the Nebraska bowl together because it would be happening before he got back home (i.e. we would be playing in December)

It's pretty much all official at this point.

Not the stuff I quoted...

One said Nebraska to Music City. One said Minnesota to Music City. One said Iowa to Outback. A couple hours ago someone said the Outback really wanted Nebraska.

Outback's twitter posted 20 minutes ago:

Who's it going be? You'll know soon! #SorryToKeepYouWaiting

Stil would have liked the Outback, but at least we will be in a winnable game to set things right.
