The Volunteer State

Is Music City Bowl a lackluster reward for Tennessee football or a prime opportunity?


Listen Later

Tennessee (7-5) will play Purdue (8-4) in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 (3 p.m. ET, ESPN).

For Vols fans hoping to make a trip south for some winter sunshine and beach time, sorry. For those looking to travel to a nearby destination to watch UT play in the postseason, you're in luck.

So, what's better – a Florida bowl, which historically carries more prestige, or an opportunity for first-year coach Josh Heupel to showcase his program at the instate NFL stadium?

On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams discuss Tennessee's bowl selection and whether it was a fair reward for Tennessee's season.
