hopefully both teams will be good that season and it really does draw a massive crowd.

i worry if both teams are expected to be mediocre that year that turnout might not be that great.

It sounds cool. I've been to several races at Bristol. Best track to see a race live IMO. Interesting to see how it will work for football.

I don't know where Blacksburg, VA is on a map, but Bristol is just a short drive from Knoxville.

Hell, I can't speak for everybody but I don't give a shit about either team in the scheme of things, the tailgating could be out of this world though. The wife and I are already planning on trying to make it. Pretty good chance lots of other Hooplans will be there too.

lol, the Sun Belt and C-USA boards are fairly active, but not like SportsHoopla or anything. I only know because MTSU used to be in the Sun Belt and are in C-USA right now. I rarely post but lurk every now and then.

If I end up making it I am going with Duck shirt Vol hat and Hokie alscott.

Man, lots of options here. All kinds of ways to record a game and watch it after. Sometimes ya gotta go with a game for historical value over other games. And he's right, the tailgating should be epic.

I don't know where Blacksburg, VA is on a map, but Bristol is just a short drive from Knoxville.

The distances are essentially equal. Both less than 2 hours driving time.

There will be thousands of fans that don't even want to go inside for the game, but will come for the tailgate.

i understand the geography concept. but teams like texas & alabama dont need geography to get fans to come to this game.

those two fanbases are a lot better than tenn or vtech.

for an event that has the potential to be really historic i feel like they are wasting it on unworthy programs who wont be able to come close to filling it up
