Our Schedule Has to Set Some Kind of Record

I'd rather be a fan of school that takes on the schedule that Tennessee has than to be a Michigan, Ohio State, etc. fan. Just my 0.02

Since this thread has some traffic, I have an off topic question:

Anyone else in Knoxville area having issues with espn.com? I just get this:

With the new AP poll this week, Tennessee's schedule has reached a new level of ridiculous. Starting with September 14:

@ #2 Oregon
@ #19 Florida
vs South Alabama
vs #6 Georgia
BYE WEEK
vs #11 South Carolina
@ #1 Alabama
@#14 Missouri
vs #24 Auburn

Seriously?? In eight games, we face seven teams ranked in the Top 25. Four of those being away games, and of those away games, two are against the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the country. What the heck...

Has anything like this happened to other teams before?

I feel like the last 3 years have been equally rough.

I think this must be one of the hardest schedules that has ever been played. Even WKU had the mind of Petrino coaching. We need to find a way to win six and be happy with that.

What doesnt kill us makes us stronger. Hopefully, this schedule equates to big learning reps for or rebuilding our team. Its got to.

SEC is insane, it's like playing in a championship game every week. I love it, but we need the players to compete. (Butch is getting us there)

We need to find six games somewhere to go bowling.

Other conferences are college football, the SEC is Pro Football!

Tough SEC schedules are part of the gig but having #1 and #2 away in the same season is pretty rare!

Getting 6 wins with this schedule will look even more impressive. Jones's first year with a bunch of young players, a brand new offense, new defense and a mega tough schedule. If we get to a bowl game and happen to win, that would be a HUGE accomplishment.

After playing such a hard schedule if TN could some how get to a bowl, any team TN would likely face would seem like an easy match up at that point.
