Well Tressel has made a point to have at least one big non-conference game every year in recent history and you guys are the latest that we've scheduled. Leading up to our series are teams like Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Miami FL that we have a home and home series schedule with. We've also sent the invite to Florida *cough* but they haven't excepted yet. The Gators are afraid to come north of the mason dixon line I guess. But in all honesty its also most a given that even 9 years from now, both tOSU and Tennessee will still be national powerhouse schools so you can pretty much bet that this game will be a great one. Tressel is sure to still be there as long as he keeps demolishing Michigan or doesn't retire before then. Kiffin on the other hand has IMHO what it takes to be a great coach just as long as he gets his name out of the media spot light and can return Tenn. back to the top with all his recruits. Bringing Monte Kiffin from the TB bucks isn't bad either. I forecast you guys to have one hell of a nasty defense while he is there. I actually have a buddy that lives in Tampa, FL and has met Monte at a dinner banquet and says that he is a pretty personable down to earth guy. Well best of luck to you and your Vols this year. I would like to see Kiffin do well there. I have always had respect for the Tennessee football program.
