If you had any hope that Tennessee and Memphis would go the way of basketball and reinstate their rivalry on the gridiron, you’ll be disappointed to hear that such a game is not in the works — at least for the time being.
While speaking to a crowd as part of the annual Big Orange Caravan at Agricultural International in Memphis on Tuesday, first-year Athletic Director Phillip Fulmer indicated that there were no plans to put the Tigers back on the schedule at this time.
The Commercial Appeal confirmed as much on the Memphis side of things, stating that a spokesperson within the Tiger’s athletic department confirmed that no such discussions have taken place.
