Wow- wasn't expecting that.  I bet they had planned to go to Arky/Bama until Arky lost last night.

Yeah,UT-Florida is a better choice. I don't think they want to be in Arkansas for a 42-7 game. Does anyone have Tennessee's record when ESPN game day visits?

I'm guessing they still set up by TBA?  That's a terrible location, but I guess there's really nowhere else to put them.

They don't want stuff possibly thrown at them. They aren't very well received after past comments about UT fans

It's a great view but a long way away from all the hustle and bustle around the stadium.

And unlike everywhere else they go, the fans are out in front of them (and behind the cameras), and thus not visible for most of the telecast.  Our campus just doesn't have any wide open spaces that allow for such a production.

My opinion is they could set up in front of the stadium where Kesling does his pregame show....if they wanted to.

And all the comments about UT or whatever are in the DISTANT past.  I would hope we have all moved on....

I am shocked they didn't go to ND/Michigan St after Ark lost.

I think they could do Gameday itself in that Gate 21 area that morning.  The problem is, they usually do the scoreboard show on location immediately before and after the game, and that just wouldn't be possible.  I'll bet over half of our crowds enter and exit the stadium at that end, and that would be chaos.

Piss on espn....there's not one thing I like about them!  let them go stroke their "big 10+" conference....could care less if they step foot in Tennessee.  Hope they're transportation delays them where they can't do the show at TN.   On a side note................................................GO VOLS  KICK SOME GATOR ASS!
