Message: [QUOTE="SUskibum, post: 5488104, member: 149"] We signed up for UT before the ACC put ND on our schedule. We had no way of knowing we would have ND this year. Also UT had been bad/medicore for 10+ years at the time we scheduled it, so we thought we were signing up for a middling SEC team We signed up for the game in June 2020.
