UMass playing at Tennessee in 2017

[Nostical]

What happened to our home and home that's been on hold with the Vols? Has anyone heard an update?

Easy win against UMass against a possible loss to UConn. I bet Ten won't even play at UMass, they'll buy out.

I believe the proposed UConn/Vols home-home series was for 2015 and 2016.

No need for the Vols to buy out a return game @ UMass. Single game...UMass gets $1.0m for the away game.

I don't think its a home and home, just one game at Tennessee and that's it

Edit: sorry I was beat to the punch

Doesn't UConn have a contract with UT. What's with that?

 

[UConn Dan]

UConn and Tennessee have agreed to reschedule by September 2015, so I don't think there's a rush to get the games rescheduled and if the games do happen they probably wont be for awhile. My guess would be 2018 at home with a return to Tenn in 2021.

Hopefully by that point (2018) anyway, we'll finally be in a P5 conference so padding our schedule with a powerhouse like Tennessee will help our CFB Playoffs chances... (wishful thinking?)

I don't believe so. I don't think we'll lose another game and we'll be 13-0 next year.

Bet Tenn does not do a return game. Take the away game and money for exposure, and buy out money........we'll need it.

Just a guess on my part, but I'd bet we never see Tennessee either at home or away. I have a gut feeling the Missouri game was worked out as a replacement. No harm no foul.

15-0*.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery...

15-0

15-0 ? Do you play Hawaii?

Actually 16-0 There is a Conference Championship that year too...

Isn't it still 15? The conference championship, and the two playoff games, with the NC game being considered the bowl game?
