Vols cancel classes for season opener

Dang, I didn't even see that one...

It may have been another poster, but I thought it was you since you're up in that neck of the woods.

Caught me

You fell for one of the classic blunders. Like getting involved in a land war in Asia...

I actually agree with canceling classes considering it's a home game. It would be a logistical nightmare to have 35,000 students + faculty and staff on campus while trying to set up a home game. Students would also be dodging tailgaters left and right trying to get to class.

There's a decent chance they lose this.

I'm no fan of Thursday games but having one the first week of the year makes some sense.

For some reason, funny things happen for unconventional games (Thursday games, rainy games, etc.) that sometimes helps the underdog. They could also lose at Bristol and start 0-2.

After they lose to Appalachian State they will cancel football season for classes.

Well played, sir.

Dang. And all this time I thought Knox liked me.

You told him you were rummaging in his trash.

I would place the Bandboy's chance of making it through the season at about 10%.

Can't argue with anything that Armour says. It was dumb to agree to the Thursday night game to begin with. Hart continues to show his stupidity.

Its' all about education, except there are college games on every night of the week.

May as well cancel; I can't see student Vol fans gaining class anyway.

It's nigh on impossible to cancel lower class.
