Just happy that our Vols are going to a bowl game. How sweet it is….
No kidding. Bowls have been way too few and far between. And to think the last bowl victory was when, 2007 I think?
Thanks for the comment VolsnRavens
2009
edit: 2009 was the last bowl appearance…. missed the victory part… but don’t we all
It’s hard to remember at this point, which is sad. The Wisconsin win now seems like a lifetime ago.
It still seems to me like the Liberty Bowl is the likely choice. I hope I’m wrong because I think the Belk bowl would be a better destination.
