SIAP: CFN Prediction Tennessee vs Minnesota in Music City Bowl

[Carl Pickens]

Old Lebanon Pike behind Ace hardware.

McNamara's Irish Pub

Used to be a funeral home….. that place is haunted as F

 

[RDU VOL#14]

So let me get this straight you won’t go to Charlotte but you’ll go to Nashville with a high probability of snow and ice?

If we go to Charlotte I’ll be there.

 

[zeppelin128]

Wish there were more bowl tie-ins with SEC and PAC teams. Give me UCLA any day over yet another B1G team.

 

[TNnative]

I want a Duke’s Mayo Bowl champs shirt and a W over Clemson.

Already seen JAX & Tampa in January.

If Music City, at least there’s the opportunity for Old Crow Medicine Show NYE at the Ryman. Live local music is always fun.

Not my scene. But you can enjoy if you like. I know some better spots in Charlotte.

 

[Dudleys87]

If we go to Charlotte I’ll be there.

Me too

A better music venue than the Ryman?

Finally got one in Vegas, but it’s a lower tier game. Really hoping Vegas becomes a CFP destination.

Yeah, I wish there was a higher tier game, just to add some variety and unusual matchups. Last time we played a PAC team in a bowl was 1944 (USC). If you have to Google it, it has been far too long.

 

[Nugget]

If Tennessee makes the Music City Bowl you need to be very ecstatic.

 

[VolFaninFla]

If Tennessee makes the Music City Bowl you need to be very ecstatic.

Thursday, December 30
ESPN, 3:00 pm
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN
Bowl Tie-Ins: Big Ten vs. SEC
Bowl Projection: Minnesota vs Tennessee
If this happens, I’m thinking this will likely be an 8-5 season

I respect Minnesota as a program but unattractive matchup. There's no storyline.

I have to agree that Minnesota is not the most compelling opponent for the Vols.
What do you think about the possibility of playing Wisconsin in the Music City Bowl
I was at the Outback Bowl on 1/1/08 when the Vols beat the Badgers 21-17. The stadium was rocking!

 

[Nugget]

I don't think they've played Minnesota since the 1986 Liberty Bowl.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I live around 10 minutes from Nissan stadium soooo wouldn't be the worst bowl location for me

Besides Big Ten teams are gimmies so at least we know we win in a romp

Wisconsin has a higher profile.

It is not a bad bowl at all to play in. Although I've never been to a bowl game at Nissan Stadium, I have been to three Titans games there. It is a nice venue.

 

[CAVPUT]

I think Nashville wants UT. and their starving fan base in the worst way. Sadly for them the fan base energy might allow UT to jump above Nashville despite the record. Money talks and UT fans are yelling this year.

 

[ButchPlz]

Since I'll be down there for New Years I'll take whichever bowl game plays in the Estadio Nacional in central Lima, Peru.

 

[LargeOrange1]

I’ll also take Sofia Vergara in a Duke’s Mayo bowl.

Or the Mazola Corn Oil Bowl...

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

I'm not gonna even pretend. I want a sure win in the bowl game. I want excitement and momentum going into next year, positive media coverage about CJH's progress in such a short time with an underpowered team, and a boost in recruiting because of it. Taking a team like Minnesota to the woodshed would do that just fine. Losing to a big named team would be very bad optics regarding where we actually are in the eyes of recruits.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

So let me get this straight you won’t go to Charlotte but you’ll go to Nashville with a high probability of snow and ice?

Not sure where you get a high probability of ice and snow in Nashville for game. The average temperature is in the 40s that time of year. It may be cool but Nashville rarely gets snow and/or ice in December.

 

[SCVol2018]

I want to go to Clemson and buy recruits in the back yard like they have in Knoxville.

seriously I live in clemson and there nothing here but a slew of red-necks and hicks with no teeth, an no bumpers on their cars.

 

[Volfan1000]

Sarkisian against Heupel would be an intriguing match up.
