Tennessee football’s preparation for the 2025 Music City Bowl includes an interesting wrinkle, as the Volunteers will not be practicing at Vanderbilt’s facility despite being in Nashville. This move does not come as a huge surprise, as Josh Heupel wants nothing to do with Vandy. The finale of the 2025 regular season is not what Tennessee wanted, and they have chosen to avoid the Commodores at all costs.
Typically, the SEC team uses Vanderbilt’s practice facilities during bowl week, but the Vols chose to go a different route this time. Honestly, it feels fitting because Tennessee and Vanderbilt just don’t belong together.
