Happy new years kittys. Would love to see them fall.

 

[RoSmitty12]

That game will make or break my night lol.

 

[TennesseePride]

Hat,

Did he say if it would be an evening game or a day game?

Don't you dare try to ruin my new year's, memphis!

Wow, Beale Street will be rocking even more so now.

That is going to kill some people's NYE moods. lol

I'd rather it not be on NYE night. Too many amature partiers out then.

I'd imagine it would have to be a day game. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl would be on at night.

No way a Tier 2 chump bowl game should dictate time of game between 2 Top 10 intrastate rivals.

if UT happens to be in that bowl game it would be a conflict

 

[TennTradition]

If neither of those teams are on the radar nationally...then the bowl game could certainly trump it.

 

[wildberry14]

it would be crazy if ut played in a bowl game that night and played memphis too.

it would be either my best ever start to a new year or my worst

It is a far fetched idea but couldn't UT and Memphis play in the Liberty Bowl that same weekend?

who would want to see a UT/UM rematch in a bowl game?

In financial considerations, the bowl game has many more zeros on the end than the bball game.

So if Memphis wins C-USA and UT were 6-6 or so, UT would have to go to Shreveport or Nashville I guess.

Again....I don't see Memphis coming close to winning C-USA and hopefully we are not even in consideration for the Liberty Bowl, just saying.

Kind of a stretch, no?

Yes, it is.
