Title: I wasn't enthusiastic about the Bristol Motor Speedway game...

......but considering all the publicity, exposure and hullabaloo that it has generated, I suppose it's worth it.

Oh, and then there's the possible 4.3 million. http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/oct/14/vols-could-get-43-million-bristol-game-against-vir/ (http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/oct/14/vols-could-get-43-million-bristol-game-against-vir/)

Some of our commits just can't stop talking about it on Twitter.  There's also this cool promo video:

That's why I didn't get all the over reaction in the previous thread.  I started to comment but then didn't.  But here is my 2 cents worth (and everyone is entitled to their opinion).

- Will it provide good viewing for a football game....probably not....but it will be cool.  It will get a ton of publicity and at this point in UT's come back...we need that.  People will be talking about it on and on.

- Recruits love this type of stuff.  Whether we all believe it or not, this age is a different age.  Alot of people didn't like the gray uniforms...but the recruits loved them.  Recruits will talk about this too.  Do I like the rap music in the stadium, no, but recruits and current students love it, so I will adapt.
