Vandy really wants buy games? I know they are SEC but would have imagined a H&H with them.

Same. Not sure how I feel about Vandy as a "buy game" opponent. We've scheduled home and homes with way better teams. With that being said it is a 2021 game, and I believe we were still looking for at least a handful of games for that season? I'm definitely not going to complain about playing a beatable team from the SEC when we have scheduling holes to fill in a short period of time.

Especially since they are already going to Colorado State, Hawaii, Northern Illinois, Georgia State, and UNLV.

But I think what happened is their matchup with Houston got cancelled for some reason and needed a home game for 2021. UConn needed a 6th way game for 2021 and Vanderbilt is full OOC until 2025.

Our home slate sucks for 2021 outside of Purdue. Any rumors on who might fill that out?

Wonder if those rumors of a good tie in with Texas will be coming true soon.

AD Dave has his work cut out for the home schedule in 2021. I imagine it will be on par in quality with what 2020 was supposed to be. Fortunately in 2022 and beyond it starts getting good.

The home schedule's gonna be relatively weak most years, especially initially. The stronger opponents will most always be the 1-&-done pay-out road games (Ole Miss, Clemson, Michigan, Ohio St, etc). We'll get some decent home games in later years that will have local fan appeal (Syracuse, BCU, Temple). Sprinkle in some other mid-lower tier P5 schools (UNC, Maryland, Purdue, NC State, etc) and it won't be all that bad.

We need 2 more home games. Maybe we work out something with the Big 10 for cancelling Indiana and Illinois if there is a 2020 season.

Break up a game and both at home next year and both on the road in the future?
