Tennessee shouldn’t play patsy opponents
The Vols whip another unmatched team, wowing their fans with their “prowess.” Here in America, bullies rule, and this is but another example. How can any of the Tennessee players feel good about beating teams that have no chance in the competition? Ditto their fans?
Reports of this “game” should have been provided on the PAGE BITS section of the TFP, in fine print, yet it was celebrated by the sports staff as worthy of commentary and ink.
Top college teams continue to schedule patsies, getting them into bowl games they don’t deserve. Will it be much longer before high schools schedule middle schools in football, preparing them for future experiences in college ranks? Would you get excited to see the Vols play Baylor? Many would. Sounds a bit gladiatorial, but that’s the way a lot of followers think.
Now Tennessee only needs three games to be bowl eligible. At what cost?
