Tennessee continues spiral and cancels Army game next year

[LMTLION]

Opinion: Tennessee's dishonorable move of canceling Army game shows how far Volunteers have fallen

Yikes, terrible move. Sorry if this has already been posted. I did not see it.

 

[LionJim]

I had not seen it. I’m a Tennessee alum (MS), and this is really pathetic. You don’t cancel a service academy. It’s always a honor to play them.

 

[Midnighter2]

No mention of this from Tennessee super fan Clay Travis. Or maybe he mentioned it. Hard to tell with all the political nonsense on his Twitter page.

From the article…..

It’s even more disgraceful when you consider that the 2022 Congressional Medal of Honor Society Convention will occur that week in Knoxville.

That’s Pat Narduzzi level bad.

SEC! SEC! SEC!

Did anyone indicate why it was cancelled? Or is it just that Akron is an easier opponent and that’s the party line?

Think it’s to pad the schedule instead of risking a loss to Army. Passing on Schiano was so dumb.

Schiano would have had no trouble building a respectable program at Tenn. it was incredibly dumb to pass him up. Now they are dodging service academies, and that is utterly pathetic.

Yup. Used to be an elite SEC school. Just bad decision after bad decision. They let a social media wonk tell them who to hire. They deserve every bit of suck coming their way.

they should write stupid crap about this decision on their stupid big rock

I hope they lose to Akron

“We think we might lose so we’re cancelling the game”? WTF.

Narduzzi is saying, "Damn!! I wish we'd thought of that for WMU!!"

they'd have a whole lot of openings to fill if this became their tactic

SEC. " We'll play you when we get better".

Maybe they should move the convention from Knoxville

 

[Cowbell Man]

Maybe they should move the convention from Knoxville

To wherever Army is playing that weekend next year.

Didn’t Alabama pull that with us in the early 2000’s?

They were coming off sanctions and PSU agreed to push the series to a few years later. Even back then our admin was feckless.

The Alabama plot with us.

Well, he is a political radio host these days, so it would make a great deal of sense that politics consumes his twitter feed.

‘Making sense’ and Clay Travis are diametrically opposed entities. He’s a clown.

You mean Joe? That would have been him agreeing to that.

Maybe, but he wasn't the AD and wouldn't have been the guy with the power to make the final decision. I have no idea what Joe thought about it and I honestly doubt anyone else here does either.

Just when I thought that the UT Football dumpster fire of ~5 years ago had burned itself out.

Ala Alabama when State delayed the series with them on probation.
