Can Butch break the Pac 12's streak over the Vols?

The pac 12 has beaten the TN 4 straight games:eek:hmy:

Despite several matchups, TN hasn't won v. a Pac 12 team since the 2006 Cal game:

2007 at Cal L 45-31
2008 at UCLA L 27-24 OT
2009 v. UCLA L 19-15
2010 v. Oregon L 48-13
2013 at Oregon ????????

This streak has follwed TN's fall from grace. Perhaps if we can turn this streak around it will mean the program is also turning a corner. :dance2:

I think a win over Oregon would be a huge win for Butch. Here's calling for the UPSET!:crazy:

At least you guys will play PAC-12 teams. Unlike the state of Georgia's geographic hemorrhoids. When's the last time the "crocks" played an OOC game against a PAC-8,10,12 team?

Answer: They haven't played a PAC-12 team in an OOC in about 30 years, not since they tied USC 19-19 in 1983. Since that date they are 0-2 in bowl games.

Didn't they just play ASU?

If you were Georgia or Florida and were playing one neutral site conference game every year AND a guaranteed BCS out of conference rivalry at the end of the schedule every year . . . you wouldn't mess around with jumping on a plane to go play Stanford either.

Agree. Those UCLA losses were inexcusable.

Actually, one word explains both:

Crompton.

Clawson was confident enough in 2008 that he could still win the game if continued to try to "break-in" the Crompdaddy. If Clawson calls 15 fewer pass attempts, the Vols win by 2 TDs.

Kiffin still didn't realize in 2009 that the practice QB wasn't the same as Saturday QB at that stage. But Kiffin didn't realize a lot of things.

Agreed.

People jump all over Florida for never leaving the state to play OOC, but they play an annual OOC that spent more than a decade finishing in the Top 4. AND they play Miami on occassion. Anyone who jumps on UF about their OOC scheduling is a fool.

I believe Georgia has a home and home with Oregon coming up in a few years. So it doesn't seem to be a problem for them. And yes as long as Florida stays "home" they deserve getting flack for not playing a national OOC schedule.

If your biggest rival wasn't in the Pac 12, you played them every year, and you also sometimes had another major rival (roughly every 4-5 years), you wouldn't take on another game that doesn't help your season.

If you are in a mediocre conference OR you don't have an OOC BCS opponent as a yearly rival, then you need to add a marquee OOC game.

yeah, let's play the sec schedule, florida state, and another quality ooc opponent just to pacify the fan bases of other schools who play 2 or 3 games a year.

Both UCLA losses were ridiculous.

The coldest game Florida ever plays is every other year at Vandy in the first week of November.
If I were scheduling for UF, I'd do the same thing.

The only knock I have on UF's schedule is that 12/12 games per year are in either hot, warm, or mild weather. The Commodores in Nashville in early November is probably the only time they have a chance of playing in a sub-60 temperature. That said, there's no incentive for the Gators to go find a cold game when they have a highly-respected non-conference game already on the slate.

Talk about a meningless stat...those two bowl games were 1987 and 1989. We lost to Vandy and Memphis back then too. :eek:lol:

Since 1989 we've won three national titles and two Heismans. Two of those national titles were won while playing the nation's toughest schedule...which coincidentally didn't include any PAC-12 teams.

I've been to road games in Tallahassee and Columbia where temperatures dipped into the 30s.

I love cold weather football.

That's kind of difficult since the school is located in the state of Florida and is a member of the Southeastern Conference. Weather tending to be warm in the southeast part of the country and Florida being the southern most state and all.

It's not fair we avoid all those snow games played in South Carolina, Alabama, and Louisiana. Plus, we bribed the league to play a championship game in a dome.

This is just another bs argument thrown exclusively in our direction. As an example, when are people going to call out Georgia for a lack of cold weather games.

Sorry, I missed the Tennessee-Alabama ice bowl of 1978.
