Man, if I lived closer I would love to smoke a bowl and watch that.

Not a game or scrimmage. Just a bunch of drills.

Reds will be out in full force. Should see some all-time crowd shots.

That's a great move, IMO. Good way to stir up more excitement and let folks get a glimpse of the team.

I'd love to see LSU do the same thing on a Saturday night, we would probably tailgate all day.

That amount should fill Neyland all the way up perfectly, since they won't have to share their seat with another 50k

I'm not saying 50,000 would show up, but plenty of people would be interested in anything football-related now that we are so close to kickoff.

seems like trying a little too hard.

Also a little gimmicky.

It seems like they're trying to be like Alabama in being the "first" to do something...like having a huge crowd for a spring game.

Difference is now is that ESPN and other networks broadcast spring games now...they'll never broadcast this practice as if it were a big event.

Trendsetters...the Vols are not.

After UT loses to Oregon, UGA, and UF do you think there will be 50,000 Vols that show up to see SC go for 4 in a row vs UTe?
