Non-conference Rival For Tennessee

[duckman398686]

If you had a choice to pick a non-conference opponent to put on the schedule each year for tennessee, who would it be and why?

 

[la.lovesorange]

Miami, I dont really know why it just felt really good beating them the last time we played.

 

[volshistory]

Michigan is my choice.

It just seems to be a program that matches up well with Tennessee. Big House vs. Neyland. North vs. South. Big Ten vs. SEC. Plus we have a lot of Michigan fans in my area due to the Saturn plant.

 

[9296potsguy]

The "other" UT, Texas, so we could battle for the rights to the name or maybe THE Ohio State University

:clap: That's a rivalry I can get behind.

I'm in Saturn country too, so Michigan would be great, but I also like playing ND and the wee little people.

I agree, my boss is from Michigan and I always love bringing up the 2001 bowl game. :machinegun:

:welcome: to the board IowaVolsFan. Like the rest of you, I would like to see Michigan, Texas, Miami or Ohio State but would like to add Florida State to the list.

I have to agree it would have to be Michigan.

From a respect standpoint, I don&#39;t know how we&#39;ve gone so long without playing Michigan, USC, Texas or Oklahoma...If you think about it, we need to play these guys to get the respect we all know we deserve. I get absolutely sick hearing about how many points USC and Oklahoma rack up on people...If they play UT, they may win, but they won&#39;t score 50 points. And if we win, then Herbstreit and Corsa can roll it, lick it, and smoke it&#33;

 

[toddbond007]

and dont 4get rese davis... but we played mich not too long ago at the citrus bowl... 2000 i think...

 

[Volstorm]

Notre Dame would have to be number 1. After that I would put Memphis. As for the other teams, we either don&#39;t play them that much or at all. And with Memphis it is an in-state rival.

 

[JSB2277]

Texas
Virginia Tech
Virginia
Cal
UCLA

 

[volattic]

Virginia Tech Because i live in va and i have to listen to it year after year about how good they are and i would just love to kick there butt year after year&#33;Or The Univeristy of Nebraska just cause they hammered us in 97&#33;

 

[volmanjr]

didn&#39;t we get hammered by Nebraska twice?

 

[GoVolsDogg]

I would choose Miami, just always fun beating that team.
