Rocky Top Talk, a Tennessee Volunteers community

Next year's schedule of death (which is even worse than this year's schedule of death) underwent a change at the top today: the Vols will no longer open against North Texas in Knoxville, but will instead host Montana of FCS fame. Tennessee-Martin these guys are not: the Grizzlies beat Appy State before losing to Villanova in the FCS Championship Game last year, their only loss. They'll open a slate that follows with Cincinnati, at Florida, at North Carolina, LSU, Georgia, at Alabama. Good times.
