Jacobson was a monster on D - overshadowed by the even bigger monster R Glover. He was an outland winner - imagine his stats if he was the only beast on the line like SUH was.
No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.
Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10.
That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games.
Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.
It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.
Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.
Zack was an important cog, but in his day, Jake was a monster DT and nearly unstoppable. He outweighed almost all OL guys.
