Vols replace Nebraska (wusses) with Georgia Tech

[Gandalf]

blech - home and home with "the dirty dawg knee cappers" instead of Nebraska after they got scared and bought us out. At least its close and might give us a chance to beat an barely top 25 team early.

In 2026 and 2027, Tennessee will be playing a home and home with Georgia Tech as the replacement opponent for the Nebraska series that was dropped by the Cornhuskers back in February.

Tennessee will play in Atlanta against the Yellowjackets in September 12, 2026 and Georgia Tech will make a trip to Neyland Stadium on September 11, 2027.

Tennessee fills schedule hole with home and home against Georgia Tech


Im grateful they were able to fill it with someone other than a cupcake reasonably early so we can get to the top of the charts early.

I just still have a bad taste from back in 2017 when we barely beat them and left us with a bunch of injuries. I know they don't do triple option anymore but betcha they are still a chop blocking bunch of sobs.

But for the chop blocking, otherwise, I like G-tech as a school.

Interesting read. Thanks

 

[TAF]

Bobby Dodd will be ORANGE

 

[IUGradVol]

Yawn. Thanks Nebraska!

 

[ToHellWithUGA]

Let’s gooooo.

As a GT fan I love this.

Can’t wait to come to rocky top.

 

[ToHellWithUGA]

Yawn. Thanks Nebraska!

We are improving man.

Key getting us right.

Plus we had an epic game last time we played.

Still haven’t healed from it.

I was at that game sat by some of the snobbiest fans ever.

This is awesome. Tech fans are by and large good people and Bobby Dodd is one of the most underrated venues in college football.

I was there...2nd game EVER in Mercedes Benz Stadium (Bama got to be #1 2 nights before w/Free Shoes U)...

Just as long as there's NO MORE "triple-option take the knees out of the D-line BULL$HIT!"

 

[Go Fight Win]

I love this. Will be great for recruiting in the ATL area as well. Fun matchup with a team that has been hot and will only be getting better the next couple years. Top 25 matchup almost guaranteed. Glad they didn't replace with a Tulane or similar type team

 

[StarRaider]

I know Bargo on the BaseVols but any other nebraskans on the roster? We have a bunch of GA kids so this is great! They dont run the Tripple still do they?

Yawn. Thanks Nebraska!

Yawn? I’d say they’re better than Nebraska and they have a helluva lot more talent in their state than Nebraska does .

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Tech was pretty good last year. They’ll be a tough out.

Better than Nebraska? Based on what? They both went 7-6 last year and Nebraska played in the better conference.

Agreed on the talent in their state part, though.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I think they are, will be, better than Nebraska. Should be a good game.

 

[Elhanan]

I wonder if quality opponents will matter when picking who gets in to the playoffs?

 

[RockyTop140]

They should be pretty good when we play them. Like the matchup, interesting OOC game

 

[CountryBoyBob454]

I like this! They seem to be up and coming. Quality matchup

 

[Volador]

The Ramblin' Wreck of Ga Tech has improved over the last two seasons and played in two major bowls!! Nuttin' to sneeze at! After all, have the boys that husk their own corn been any better????


Tech

I know it’s a rivalry game, but I’d say them going into 100 overtimes in Athens was pretty impressive . At worst it was a lateral move competitively, although GT doesn’t have the history and name recognition of Nebraska . They’ve improved a great deal the past 2 seasons after they got away from Butch 2.0.

I would agree on the lateral move part. Was just looking forward to playing Nebraska I guess.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Doesn't surprise me. Nebraska is fighting hard every year to get 6-8 regular season wins, they don't need low probability win games with Tennessee, especially losing ugly in Lincoln. We've been there. I hope they find their footing and start whipping the likes of osu and mich and oregon.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Georgia Tech is better than Nebraska. Brent Key is a good coach.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

That's going to suck. Brent Key is building something special down there. We may win but we'll pay a price doing it.
