Big 10 vs Tennessee this weekend

Submitted by JJB2 on

What's up with all the games vs. Tennessee teams this weekend.  Are we looking to add team from there to the B10 or something?  Certainly throwing the money at them this weekend.

Middle Tenn. State at Purdue

Tennessee Tech at Iowa

Chattanooga at Nebraska

Maybe just a coinkydink, but seems odd.  Or they just have a nice group of cream puffs to start off the season with.

Nebraska probably had that game scheduled before they even thought of joining the big ten. Middle Tenn. State usually does pretty well in scheduling big conference opponents around the country. Not sure about Tennessee Tech, but if they're the only oddity, it would just be a coincidence.

I wish we were playing Tennessee this weekend - I'm still craving revenge for that horrendous showing in the '01 (or was it '02) Capital One (or was it Citrus?) bowl

I attend Middle Tennessee and wouldn't be surprised one bit if we beat Purdue. We would've beat Minnesota last season if our QB hadn't been suspended. I was hoping to see MT play Michigan in my college career. Hope to be at U of M's Grad school next year (with in-state tuition) since the rest of my family just moved back to Ypsilanti. Go Blue!

MTSU has been pretty decent the past few years, I know a few people who played on their team about 10 years ago.  They seem to have high hopes for the raiders this season.
