2026/2027 Tennessee-Nebraska Series Cancelled

[Ext. 55]

If you wanted an expanded playoff, then this is what comes with it. Nobody wants to play tough games early and potentially miss out on the CFP.

Agreed. Deal with it.

Smart move with the expanded playoff. A win does nothing for us while a loss could prevent us from making the playoffs.

Sucks for the fans but if you make the playoff, you still get a good game.

Also this. Tennessee can’t beat their chest over this while also playing Mercer in November

It's a smart move.

Still bitch made.

No one cares except Nebraska and Tennessee fans and they’ll both forget in a week.

The only people who will be discussing this by tomorrow morning are bored radio host looking for something to talk about in February

I know this was coming, however this is still incredibly lame by Nebraska.

 

[Kinish]

Should be the opposite way, a nonconference loss hurts less than ever.

This is straight up running scared and Danny White let the world know it.

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

lame on our part. Thought about a trip to Knoxville as I’ve always wanted to do a game there.

Went to a Tenn v S. Car game on Halloween years ago…Tenn knows how to throw a party!!

For better or worse, UT is basically the Nebraska of the SEC.

A very easy rebuttal would be that they're too scared of playing 9 conferences games and already moved this game once.

Again, no one is going to care by next week.

The excuse of wanting 8 home games is bullshit. We look like gigantic pussies for cancelling that series.

I am disappointed that I won’t get to make a trip to Knoxville to see Nebraska play, but understand and agree with the move for all the reasons listed in the thread so far.

Is the stadium renovation an excuse? To an extent, but lost revenue is lost revenue and why should we do what very few of our peers will be doing by 2026 and 2027 and that’s play an OOC game against a tough team on the road.

I’d rather keep the OOC closer to the versions we’d see during the Osborne years and position ourselves for a CFP selection.

Do I like the optics? Not one bit. Do I think we’re the only school doing this? Not even close.

 

[Quint]

Smh. Bitch move.

Edit: I am just sad because I wanted to go to Neyland.

I’ve been, wanted to see Nebraska play there, but I can say the exiting the area experience is one of the worst I’ve ever been through. One of the shittiest roadway designs for a venue that holds 100k I can even imagine.

SEC will play 9 conference games when they get paid to do it. If ESPN is willing to up their media deal then the SEC will play 9 games, they just aren't going to do it for free.

Sounds like teams are just dodging each other. Pussies.

See how easy that is?

Frost if you could have only got your shit together what could have been.

Bummer. We look bad.
