Texas will always be a big name....always. As for Va Tech, you can't possibly be serious...they have 10+ wins in eight straight and 11 of the past 13 seasons. Texas and Va Tech may be down this year, but they'll most likely be pretty decent when we play them.

No one gave us grief when we played "Da U" when they were 7-6 and 6-6, because they knew that they were great at the time we scheduled them. As long as we schedule either historically succesful teams, or teams who were hot at the time of scheduling, we're fine.

Your first paragraph just re-iterated what I said. :p

And people gave us grief when we scheduled the then Pac10 champions Washington. Hell people are giving us grief for California.

Just saying if a team is struggling that year, we'll get grief regardless of their past performance.

Minnesota changes their schedule--embarrassing

Ohio State wasn?t the only Big Ten school to announce changes in its future football schedules this week, although the Buckeyes loss of Vanderbilt from its 2013 schedule occurred because the Southeastern Conference expanded and had to reconfigure its slate of games.
Minnesota dropped North Carolina from tits 2013 and 2014 schedules because Gophers football coach Jerry Kill thought his teams need to play easier opponents during the non-conference season to build the players? confidence. At the same time, Minnesota announced that Kent State has been added to the 2015 schedule and South Dakota State will come to the Twin Cities in 2019.
The Gophers? 2013 schedule now includes home games against UNLV, Western Illinois and San Jose State. The 2014 slate has Eastern Illinois, Middle Tennessee State and San Diego State.

Nothing I've seen yet. I'm guessing they're trying to Minnesota up their schedule with games they can win. Their non-conference games next year are now Austin Peay, UMass, UAB and Wake Forest.

They answer that Franklin gave surrounds the excitement on Vandy's campus for being the opening game of the college football season (Thursday prior to Labor Day Weekend).

Despite their loss to South Carolina, it's pretty cool hosting that game and since Franklin is incredibly motivated to make in-roads in southern recruiting circles, he feels this is a better way to do so. One night all to yourself on the even of the season is a powerful thing.

Interesting to note that this is the last season until at least 2019 that we will have all non-conference games at home. So even if we found a team we could schedule next year at home, any year we would try a return trip, that would give us 2 road non-conference games that year. I am not sure the athletic department would want two road games. Too much money gained by home games.

So whoever we schedule as our opener next year will have to be a team that does not want a return trip. Unfortunately, a lot of those schools already have their beatown for that week scheduled.

Given the short notice, any team they bring in next season will be a one time paid game. There will be no return trip.

Except at this point, they're not opening next year on the Thursday before Labor Day, it's Saturday the 31st. The same day they were scheduled to play Ohio State.

Right now their website has four games with Middle Tennessee State, two games with UMass, Wake Forest, Temple and Richmond as future non-conference games in addition to what I listed earlier. They're scheduling wins.
