'16 TN OL Bryce Mathews (Ole Miss commit)

[tdtrevorg]

I still laugh everytime I think about Barnett beating Jelks and then spinning in to sack Patton Robinette. Poor fella never had a chance

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Barnett maggitt and Even Lewis dominated their OL. Who cares ab jelks? They are going to continue to get destroyed by everyone the rest of his time there.

If you think degrees from certain schools matter in decision making, Josh Dobbs may alter your opinion. Anyways...that's just horse poo.

I t would get old if you were A Vandy grad being ask during an interview why does your football suck....you could always pt to the pretty women on campus ... Lol

What's worth more: A Vanderbilt education or the connections you get from playing football at Tennessee?

This is the benefit. And yes it is a HUGE one, especially if you want to stay in state. But the butthurt is also obvious ITT. Vanderbilt is a much better school academically than UTK, and almost any bachelor's degree, save logistics, is probably going to be worth more than one from UTK...at least in this region.

However, you could also make the argument that outside of the south, maybe Vanderbilt isn't as well-recognized, whereas a degree from the state university will carry weight from California to Maine. JMO HAGD GBFO

Normally when a recruit and his parents are concerned about getting the best education while playing football, it comes down to which school has the best program in the field the recruit is interested in. UT got Dobbs because of its excellent Aerospace Engineering program.

I was hoping I could read something about Bryce Mathews in this thread. I couldn't care less about Vanderbilt or what anyone thinks about it!

I'd take a nursing degree or an accounting degree at UT over vandy too. I'd also argue that vandy is pretty well recognized from Cali to Maine too.

However, I think it may be 'worth more' to have a vandy degree (meaning if I were on a full-ride scholly), but I think most state schools have better value than most private schools, vandy not being an exception (in fact, I'd say there's just a few ivy leaguers that would be an exception). But I'd still take the TN connections over the vandy ones were I a football player. Most vandy grads don't care about football. The pool of well-placed alumni that will be willing to help a former player is far far smaller.

It's been my understanding that Tux and his brothers are the primary "Placement Specialists" for former Vandy football players. If you can get a seat at "The Table" you will be in great shape jobwise.

Tux has been gone for a while now. I guess I would never leave The Table either, if I had a seat.

He is here because we have one of the best Aerospace Engineering programs out of the schools that offered him.

UTK has the third oldest engineering program in the country. So it's a prestigious program.

My wife is a Vandy grad. I make 10's of thousands more than she does.



Funny side note: She came home from work one day to find her Vanderbilt degree hanging over the toilet in the bathroom. She came running into the bedroom calling me some colorful names and saying it wasn't funny. I told her it wasn't meant to be funny, that I had just paid off her Vanderbilt loans and that just as soon as she paid me back she could put it where she wanted to, but until then that degree belonged to me.






Things got a little ugly after that.

I bet you found yourself on the couch for a few weeks following that. Well done!

Yes. Yes I did. I asked if I could sleep in one of the other bedrooms and was told no.....i said the couch.

I snuck into one of the other rooms about 2 in the morning, then back to the couch about 5:30 (before she woke up).............B**** wasn't gonna tell me what I could and couldn't do!!

You sir are a winner. Any time spent on the couch would be well worth it!

Jelks still made a smart decision. A degree from Vandy > A degree from UTK

A degree in sports mgmt from any university are equal. Dont kid yourself, the Dobbs' and Patton Robinettes are the exception.

Yep. He hasn't posted since early January.

Just no sense of humor. I worked around several Vandy grads in the past and found that none of them had a sense of humor. They couldn't take my ridiculing of their football program. I even suggested that some of them needed to go to anger management classes. Needless to say I could never make friends with any of them.

Darn....

I need to clarify a few things from previous posts.

1. I may have been misleading in the amount of time the Vandy degree hung over the toilet. In fact, my wife had it in her hands when she came to the bedroom and it never returned to the spot over the toilet.

2. I never snuck into one of the bedrooms at 2 in the morning, I stayed on the couch. I'm not cunning enough to have ever gotten away with that.

3. My sincerest apologies for EVER using the B word in reference to my wonderful, loving wife.

4. Yes. She is standing right behind me as I type this.






Not so fun side note: I just got whacked in the back of the head and am apparently back on the couch again tonight. :cray::cray: God, I hate Vanderbilt!
