Anyone else heard about potential CFA return?

[NO SIR EEE]

That Tennessee may return to the Chick Fil A kickoff game in Atlanta in 2017 to take on Georgia Tech? I had read something about it a few days ago. Also on a side note, it seems that Florida State will spank Uga in the 2016 game.

Will they push UT to a Friday night game so that can get a "better" game on Saturday?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

If im not mistaken, I heard that this is the last year that they are trying to pull a doubleheader down there.

I know that the organizers have feelers out to Tennessee, Bama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M regarding the '17 and '18 games. They've been trying to make Bama-Miami happen for years now.

This is the first I've heard of Ga Tech being involved, but UT-GT would be a pairing with a ton of Southern football tradition.

And on ESPNU!

This place can meltdown over anything.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

UT vs GT would be interesting. Would be a lot of fans on both sides.

Also, I read Tennessee and West Virginia were considering playing in Charlotte in the future.

After that Air Force game in 06, I never want to play a triple option team again. Thank you again, Xavier Mitchell

I just checked Ole Miss is playing GA Tech that year. So I doubt GA Tech is willing to play 3 SEC schools.

I thought I read that somewhere as well. I like these neutral site games.

Home and Home are better..

Easier to schedule neutral site games. Makes better matchups more likely.

The Charlotte game vs. WVU was under discussion for 2018 I believe.

EDIT to add: http://knoxblogs.com/evanseleven/2014/04/02/tennessee-west-virginia-finalizing-game-charlotte-2018-report/

Atlanta or Nashville seem like a good bet for 2017.

No kidding. I had no finger nails left after that game.

Could you imagine our defense in 2012 trying to stop that Air Force team?

Why do you hate yourself?

 

[RockyTopDC]

Im mean, Im okay with that. I love Chik-fil-A.

Would be like an 3 hour long episode of Benny Hill.

 

[Volview]

Wow, I forgot all about being pushed to ESPNU...Thanks for reminding me of extra reasons to hate.

Will they push UT to a Friday night game so that can get a "better" game on Saturday?

Anybody.
Anywhere.
Anytime.

You just traumatized me.
Thanks.

ESPN wouldn't do that to us especially after the SEC stated they would not play college football games on Fridays....oh wait

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I just checked Ole Miss is playing GA Tech that year. So I doubt GA Tech is willing to play 3 SEC schools.

If they want that game and that exposure, then they will reschedule Ole Miss

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I would like to see one neutral site game per year in good fertile recruiting grounds like Atlanta, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, Bristol, TX, etc.

Agreed. Maybe alternate with a good home and home series with a west coast power. Would be great for exposure.... As long as we can be competitive...
