UT declines USC offer to play in 2011

[goDAWGSsicem]

They say their schedule just doesn't allow it, but I think UT fans would go ape shit if they had agreed to it. Also, Kiffin would need a lot of security.

Maybe in a couple of years when Dooley has cleaned up Kiffin's mess.

I believe the only way to make it happen would be by replacing UNT with USC. The schedule would just be way too tough for a rebuilding Vols team.

I hear ya on the schedule, but do you really even want to play Kiffin?

I wouldn't unless I knew UT would stomp their faces in the ground, and I don't see that happening until Dooley/recruiting starts rolling.

 

[UTVolCountry]

No, not right now.

They are scheduled to play in 2021-2022. Maybe UT will be better by then, lol.

I heard Mitch Mustain is considering transfering and UT was a possible school.

I also heard that he couldn't go to the SEC unless he appealed & gained a year of eligibilty, either way, would you even what this clown? I know they say he has talent, but this kid has no loyalty.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Not really. He would provide depth and experience, but UT already has their QB's. I say let Tyler Bray (Fr) or Matt Simms (JUCO) start. I think Bray is suppose to be the Vols QB of the future. The sooner he gets in there, the better. JMO

Got this from another board. It is very interesting.

I wouldn't have accepted this either. It's just a slap in the face. Also, I don't think he'd get out of the stadium a live.
