Vols Home Team at Bristol.

[DyronNix]

According to Andy Bitter's Roanoke Times blog (after reviewing a copy of the contract provided by KNS):

– Tennessee is designated as the home team and will wear orange. Virginia Tech is the road team and will wear maroon or white. Given how much the teams’ solid-colored uniforms differ in brightness, I’d imagine a Vols orange against a Hokies maroon would probably be a safe bet.

– The on-field and replay officials will be from the Big Ten.

Me too. Or even Pac-12 officials, since they're used to officiating with extreme uptempo offenses. But, this is a few years away and they have some time to suck less.

You're going to start seeing neutral refs in non-conference games more often.

Or get worse. They can't keep up with the "action" in their poke and prod league....geez.

But the B1G? We couldn't get Big XII, PAC-12, even C-USA, MAC, or Sun Belt??? Heck even Big East...sorry American...refs would've been fine by me. After what happened in 2010, we don't want the B1G refs anywhere near UT again.
