Surprised Neyland Stadium Not On This List

Vandy stadium should be on some kind of list. Like most likely a crane falls on an opposing qb. Another one, field most likely to have 2 cranes holding up your scoreboard. Another one, stadium holds 28k right now but we will still put 1200 in the stands.

Jesus Christ when will enough be enough when it comes to mentioning Clemson in the same breath as any blue blood program? They had a good run, even if it was only due to other programs having down years. It was obviously a flash in the pan and it’s time we recognize them for what they are: a historically sub standard program that is riding off recent success to gain national relevance. They have no long and storied history. No deep traditions. Even Vanderbilt has more historical significance than they do. It’s a travesty that Neyland and, as much as I hate to say it, Bryant Denny isn’t on this list.

Got another Vol fan all in a tizzy when I misreplied to him concerning misuse of Jesus Christ so loose and flippantly like any other word we might say daily. Said the same warning goes to me or anybody about how you use the name of the most important person ever born and lived(my opinion). Go gee willikers or unholy mackeral...anyway the politicians probably want their name on stadiums in some manner. Go Vols!

Lighten up, Oral Roberts. It’s a sports message board. No one’s in a tizzy but you. I was having some fun with irony. Sorry, I thought you’d get it. Moving on…

Nythawk I don't need to "lighten up" as my name isn't Francis. Sports board ,yessir, it is. So all standards are cast to the wind and ,apparently, anything goes according to some. Ya know if no one reminds us we'll probably forget. Go into Pink Floyd mode of " comfortably numb". A fan favorite is when go back to 3rd grade playground and name call. "Sticks and stones....words will never hurt me." Mommy someone called me names at school and hurt my feelings.... oh well have a pleasant Sunday however that looks.

If they are going to include the cotton bowl then, someone needs to spend some money on that **** hole. Their contract for the OU/TX game is ending soon. Won't be surprised if that game moves to the death star. That would be a shame because I always thought it was cool to have the TX state fair as the backdrop for that game.

Well, Vandy did have the first female player to play in a major football conference. I think most would consider that historic.

I'm actually pleased that Neyland's not on this list.

A couple of congressmen (from Louisiana and Wisconsin) who are probably real buds, eat lunch together when they can, go to each other's campaign rallies, that sort of friendship, they came up with this bipartisan but vaguely socialist idea (let's have the government spend taxpayer money on even more non-essential things, eh?), then shopped it around for support. Those who signed on got their home-state stadium added to the list.

So apparently when these fellas went knocking on Tennessee representatives' doors, they were told to pound sand. Result: no Neyland on the list.

Our congressional delegation did good turning them away.

Go Vols!

Great example of how the government don’t give a “F” about your commitment to them. None on that list are named after a military General who served twice during his coaching career. A great American if there ever one was!

Part of Tiger Stadium was built by the WPA (We piddle around) during the Depression. There’s a plague on the wall there.

Congress has no business getting into this. You have homeless people all over the country and they are focusing on college football stadiums?

They're just keeping busy until they can take on the NIL issue. Our 'leaders' have their priorities in order.

All of this and so much more. Not to mention these useless caucus ideas cost money we actually don't have as a country.

This has zero constitutional basis. If Congress would kindly stick to their outlined job, we, the people would appreciate it.

I only wish part of their 'outlined job' was to stay the hell out of our lives

Sorry about my choice of words. I truly didn’t mean to offend.

You don't win national championships in the BCS or especially the CFP era without beating good teams, generally in the CFP era you have to beat 2, so whatever arguments you want to make about strength of schedule, Clemson beat good teams to win their trophies. They are 431-190-8 the last 51 years (which is how long the sport has been fully integrated). That's the 9th most wins in that time period.

Even if you look at the entire AP era (since 1936) they are 13th in wins (we have 32 more total wins over that time period), so it's proposterous to equate them with Vanderbilt as the previous poster did (who has the 104th most wins of the AP poll era). We are ahead of them, but they aren't THAT far behind us. As I said above, the reason Neyland Stadium is not on this list is likely because it is in 0% danger of ever being torn down to make room for condos or to be replaced with Preparation H Stadium.

Almost ALL these stadiums have 0% chance of being torn down.

It could happen, but for example Penn State's stadium (larger than Tennessee's) is no more likely to be destroyed than our stadium!

Yeah, there are some on there that are in no danger, but there are some in there that I could see getting knocked down for development if the right money came along and then there's the whole naming rights thing. Georgia Tech's field just got renamed "Hyundai Field" and it's been "Grant Field" for about a 100 years.

Honestly it can’t fall apart fast enough at this point. Hope it happens before the leeches bleed everything dry.
