Neutral site or an extra SEC game are the reasons

Good thing UT isn't premature! I another development Ole Miss fearing the world ending Dec 22, 2012 cancelled its 2013 fb season.

Real reason UT is full of gutless pussies.

I agree with you here. I know we did it with the TExas A&M Aggies back when we were really terrible with Hallman and moving into Dinardo and I dont know about all the monetary reasons if any, but still makes me angry as a fan and makes it seems like we were scared and the same for you guys , hopefully it is moving to 9 game SEC games because if not, it does make a fanbase wonder. Besides would be an excellent trip to go out to Oregon.

If LSU is willing to play Oregon + West Virginia + the SEC West...then it should be a no brainer for Tennessee.

With an 8 game SEC schedule then yeah that's fine but with 9 SEC games as it will probably be in 2013 there's no reason to have a tough OOC game too

Why shouldn't we be? If we are not a top 10 team in 2013 Dooley will have already been fired. Next year we should be a BCS contender.

We should go to Oregon in 2013 and have them come in the next year. Autzen is a blast. When it's not freezing cold.

Huh? I'll whoop your arse.

If the SEC expands to a 9 game schedule then no one will schedule tough OOC games.

Yes, getting out of the UNC game was chicken shite, but I'm fine with this move if we have to play another conference game.

I was not aware that LSU bought out TX A&M. Gutless pussies.

And this is the only reason I wouldn't want the SEC to expand, at the cost of losing some of those once in a lifetime non-conference road trips.

UT will miss out. Autzen is a great venue and throwing in a trip to the Oregon Coast makes that a great road trip.

Easy there Jethro! Don't make me tell Uncle Jed!

Tam joining the SEC would not affect UT since they won't be in the SEC Least. Your theory only makes sense if there is a 14th team.
