We've had season openers on Friday, Sunday, and Monday in the past 8 years. This is nothing new.

I guess S Carolina didn't claim their usual slot this year.

Wow, really?

We did that one time, when we played Georgia State (which was ridiculous to begin with). And it was awful and embarrassing.

Appalachian State is a pretty legitimate mid-major opponent.

Also the jokes on y'all because we have two less days of offseason than everyone else.

Eh, this isn't 2007.

We played them in 2013 towards the end of the year (our injury decimated season) and won 45-6.

We play on Thursday night. We'll just be on ESPN.

It's not 2013 either. They were good last year and return quite a bit. They've won 17 of their last 19 games, only losing to Clemson and Arkansas State. They hammered Southern last year and won their bowl game vs a pretty good Ohio team.

They will be solid.

It's funny seeing Tennessee fans using the same reasons to justify playing on Thursday night that they made fun of us for in previous years.

They were actually ACC at one point. And if their lack of Thursday night presence causes you to forget, they have the banner to commemorate the membership hanging in their stadium

We also beat a team from their conference by 6 in OT last year - a team they thumped in the regular season.

To be fair, they were pretty dang bad in 2013. They went 4-8 in 1AA.
