Vols 2014 Football Schedule

[bamawriter]

Alabama vs Tennessee not third Saturday of October????

Where have you been the last 18 years?

 

[dblutfan]

There might actually be a W or two in October!!!!!!!!

When was the last time we could say that?

 

[Jasongivm6]

We used to play Florida every time in October from the 70s until '92

 

[Jasongivm6]

Actually, the first ever September game against Florida was 1992

 

[TrueOrange]

Some other change around the conference:

The A&M-Missouri, USCe-Arkansas swap goes into effect starting in 2014, meaning USCe and A&M are now permanent cross divisional rivals, as are Arkansas and Missouri

With such, the LSU-Arkansas game has been moved off of the end of the season. Texas A&M and LSU appear to now be playing at the end of each other's schedules (as will Missouri and Arkansas at the end of each other's)

We used to play Florida every time in October from the 70s until '92

Every time wasn't very often. That changed in 1992 when the SEC expanded to 12 teams and Florida became a yearly opponent.

Mocs playing Volunteers??? That's gonna be a tough day for me on what colors I wear.

 

[imavolfan]

Wonder why they moved UK from being last game?

Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky Wildcats move matchup to finale - ESPN


I think Kentucky and Louisville wanted to make their game during the rivalry week so it made sense for us to move the Vandy game to that week.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Why do they have Missouri 3 years in a row??

 

[imavolfan]

I like this schedule. Not playing Florida so early and breaking up the tough strech of SEC games with bye weeks and easier games will be good for us.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Alabama vs Tennessee not third Saturday of October????

Yea I don't understand it either, although its nothing new. It would be nice if it was actually the Third Saturday in October once in awhile.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

The date of the Vandy game was moved at Vandy's request. They said they had no fans except their students and that over the Thanksgiving break, their stadium was Orange when they were the home team. Perhaps Franklin has succeeded in broadening the fan base.

That stadium has always been orange when we come to town. That won't change because they move the date.

Saving all my nickel and dimes- going to OU game. Should be a classic.

I'll be there, my bro-in-law is a Sooner.

We got you, man. :good!:

 

[bbeacham]

Just a thought on why they moved the KY game before the Vandy game! Could it be that we had to fit Missouri in and the 22nd of November was their only available date? Whereas the 15th of November could have initially been an OPEN date for Tennessee.

Looks more like the SEC and ACC front offices wanted to

Though Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich prefers the teams to continue to play at the start of the season, the decision was made at the request of both the SEC and ACC, which the Cardinals will join in 2014.

The late-season shift will increase to four the number of ACC versus SEC intrastate rivalry matchups on the final weekend of the regular season, joining Florida State-Florida, Georgia Tech-Georgia and Clemson-South Carolina.

for all those complaining about georgia's schedule....

1. we play them. beat them.

2. i can't recall a team of mine that was kept from achieving its goals of the season due to someone else's schedule.

1) The SEC and ACC both wanted to move the KY-Lousiville game to the end of the season

2) The KY game was originally always before the Vandy game prior to 2002 (when the SEC switched up its scheduling setup). TN traditionally would always end the season with Vanderbilt up until about 10 years ago.


Now why KY was pushed back even further to be before, Missouri, who knows. Might have to do something with part 1 I wrote or even what you typed

I don't think they've played bama once since they became good (except seccg last year)

If anyone has a right to complain about UGA's 2014 schedule, it's the gator fans. You guys got screwed...

Their problem, not ours or the schedule's.

Alabama vs Tennessee not third Saturday of October????

This has actually happened recently.

 

[Other_Guy]

Well I'm a young Vol fan not liking the changing but it's fine I guess. Don't think Mizzu is ever going to be anything special so as long as the last few games are easy I'm happy. It's always better to get the loses out of the way when it comes to national spotlight and BCS (oops playoffs).
Id actually rather Mizzu be 1st so we could actually start off 1-0 in conference as a 1st
