And this is why I hope the fanbase calms down a bit. Vandy loss sucks without a doubt. The defense's performance was horrendous that 2nd half. But it's still just 1 game. This is the best recruiting class we've had in a long time. Heupel has consistently made progress on building the program...

I wonder if some of these guys know they are going to fail, but they tell their families "look, worst case scenario, we'll be there 3-4 years, and make at least $25 million, probably closer to $50+ million, and be set up for life". Admit I know next to nothing about this guy; he may sneakily be...

On one hand, it's crazy to see Vandy flip the #1 recruit from Georgia. On the other hand, we've seen so many 5 star QB flops in recent years, difficult to know how meaningful it is for Vandy. And Vandy has won the past 2 years by having a veteran transfer QB, where they "knew what they were...

First off: we weren't 14th in the SEC. That's based on garbage stats (pure yardage; not advanced stats that take into account turnovers, # of plays, etc). Based on FPI's defensive efficiencies, we had the #4 defense in the country last year and #21 the year before. We had a slew of injuries...

Arky hiring Silverfield shocked me! They would've been better off keeping Pittman and hiring a new DC.

To be frank, the staff likely overestimated Nico's maturity and ability to be molded. Nico has all the tools to become one of the best QBs in the country and a #1 NFL draft pick. He lacked the maturity, focus, and work ethic. Which is why sometimes, guys like Joey the Fireman end up being...

The problem wasn't losing Nico. The problem was having to bring in a transfer at the last second. In the history of college football, it's pretty rare for QBs to succeed in that situation. Normally takes 2 seasons. Joey did so much better than expectations, but if he had come in early 2024, he...

This was always going to be a down year. Sorry, folks, but I called it at the beginning of the season. I said back then that 7-5 or 8-4 was the expectation. The reasons why: * Loss of key defensive players to NFL Draft. We lost James Pearce Jr and Omar Norman-Lott. 2 players who were always...

Why would he leave Tennessee to go to a place that fired a coach who made the national semis a year earlier and had a 104-45 overall record? Whatever you say about the 'unrealistic expectations' of our fans, it has to apply double to Penn State right now. Also note, a few weeks ago, one of...

As crazy as it sounds, probably the biggest one since 1930. Vandy just hasn't been good for the better part of a century. And the few times they have been good, we haven't been good. The "storied part" of this rivalry happened back in the 1920s when Vandy was still a national power and...

If they were forced to pick 2 from Tennessee, it'd still be Vanderbilt. But if they could pick from wherever, I think it's more likely that Vanderbilt's spot goes to UNC, Clemson, Miami, or Virginia Tech.

The crazy thing is looking back to Week 1 is that this was the media narrative: 1. Mike Norvell had turned FSU around from their dismal 2024 campaign 2. Squirrel White was the stud WR that FSU had nabbed from UT and helped win the game vs Bama 3. Kalen DeBoer was on the hot sea and might not...

Yeah, I feel like people have lost the plot. We started the season losing several of our best defensive players, our starting QB defecting to another school in Spring, us bringing in a quick replacement QB who didn't have much time to learn the system and gel with our players, then having a...

Give it a rest, dude! We won in the Swamp for the first time in 22 years in what was effectively a blow-out. All you've done is make disparaging negaVol posts about he we didn't score more. Yes, we could have easily run up the score. We didn't, because we were dominating the Gators so much we...

Even Herbie was screwing up names. I just feel like if you get paid big $$$ to do this every week, it's a huge honor and privilege, and you should KNOW the teams well. Know the player names. Know who plays at what position. These guys eventually get so famous. stop caring, and get very...
