#9 South Carolina @ Vanderbilt

[TrueOrange]

No, but I thought about it earlier.

I'd rather root for Tennessee to win every game than root for things to fall into place because a coach I can't stand wins a game.

hey we won that game he might have ended up in some other conference at year's end and you'd never have to see or hear about him again

The only difference between this Vandy and the last 20 years of Vandy is that now they have a carnival barker for a coach and the media think's it's a great story.

I don't always agree with you, but this post is lovely.

 

[Spartacavolus]

I've seen this act over and over again. Heard the same pitch from coach after coach. It's the same old Vandy.

I see you waited till after the game to post that GA.

If you can't see the difference in how they play and don't lay down, you haven't watched them as long as I have. They are going to be in every game that they play in the SEC east. Have you been able to say that before?

 

[ob79]

sure but since it's Vandy I say

lol:

:crazy:

how does clay Travis spin this one? I'll bet he harps on the missed PI and claims that vandy would've won if it was called.

 

[Lulu]

I can't find it in myself to bash any team until we actually prove something.

Allow me.

Vandy still sucks. Vandy is still Vandy...#anchorsdown on the 6th spot in the East.

Except now it is three times more fun to watch them lose....I never thought that could be possible.

 

[utvolpj]

hey side question, will we ever be able to track likes made to our (or another users) posts again?

no clue but I doubt it will be anytime soon

Not really going against the grain there, eh?

 

[MontereyVol]

wtf are you talking about. I'm discussing the program overall.
Try to understand something before you put your 2 cents in.

Try talking about the team they are fielding. No one gives a **** about their overall program.

Thanks for calling me an idiot, friend.

I can just as easily argue that it's stupid to have to pull for Vandy in week 1 against South Carolina to benefit Tennessee.

Tennessee has been down but it makes our program look pathetic when we have a rooting interest in the first game of the season. Vanderbilt and South Carolina no less...

Tennessee should rebuild on their own merit. Not depend on Vanderbilt beating South Carolina in week 1. Gross.

Knock SC all you will for their history, but its probably between them and UGA for the east this year. They'll get better as the year goes on, and it would have been nice for them to pick up a cheap loss before they hit their stride later in the year. Even if they had won tonight, Vandy was not going to be in contention for the division.

it's not like any help would be negative to this team either though

This is true but being the 1st game of the season, I'm going to pull against teams I dislike. It feels like a sad day when it comes down to being worried about week 1 and the outcome of Vandy and South Carolina though.

South Carolina did play in the SEC championship but Tennessee, Georgia and Florida are generally the top 3.

I'm not going to let a few years change my view. Especially when it's been the worst years in a long time. I'll let it play out. Vandy 0-1

 

[HSVol]

I can't believe what I'm reading. SCAR is a top 10 team and UT hasn't been ranked in how many years? People are saying that UT should have no trouble with them?

Pure unadulterated insanity.

 

[ob79]

Franklin is the best coach at "almost winning" that I've ever seen.

That makes him THE best coach for Vandy.

Did you watch the game?

 

[TrueOrange]

no clue but I doubt it will be anytime soon

Mind if I ask why it was gotten rid of/ disabled?

(if not, that's fine)

 

[CountVolcula]

Don't wish that on this program.

I was thinking tonight

With the NCAA interviewing almost every player Byron D had contact with, Kimbrow might be next in line

I may be mistaken, but BD was a big reason Kimbrow went to Vandy

 

[Vol2424]

Mike Leach looks like Don Vito.

 

[bigeasy]

Vandy shocked the world by keeping this a close game

I'm telling you. I've actually spoken with the last two Vandy coaches prior to Franklin. The words are the same every single time.

Vandy has a way of uglying up a game. sC has a way of setting offensive football back 25 years. This game went according to the script.

Top 10 before people saw them play.

Preseason rankings mean nothing.

How about the fact that Tennessee beating a higher ranked South Carolina team benefits Tennessee more?

Or have you already just given up on Tennessee beating South Carolina...

Exactly.

 

[Brianchevy]

The winner of that game might still matter but the looser still doesn't matter.

 

[vol4eva]

Both teams looked like trash. SC will be in serious trouble against a team that can stop their running attack.
