Vols to play Huskers but no need for tickets rush

Talk about planning ahead. The University of Tennessee football program announced Thursday that it will play a home-and-home series with Nebraska – beginning in 2016. Are you kidding me? Are we so hungry for football news that we need to know the Vols schedule 10 years in advance? You bet! The NFL Network claims that football season never ends, and that has become as certain as a sellout crowd at Neyland Stadium. Modern conveniences such as the Internet, satellite TV and radio and cell phones that receive up-to-the-minute scores allow sports junkies to never miss a score or headline concerning their favorite sports and teams. This puts extra pressure on sports organizations and media outlets to get more and more information to the public. The demand for news is sky high and it never ends. That's one reason why we found out Thursday, just more than 10 weeks before the 2006 season kicks off, that the Vols are already working on games that begin in 10 years. Does anyone have the early line on that game?
