--Vandy Neurosurgeon head was chloroformed by a resident in the parking garage who was dressed up like a woman and pissed because he was barely going to make it.
--Vandy plastic surgeon and resident @ '97 was put in prison for murdering his girlfriend in a drug induced sex weekend and went to prison. I believe he is dead now, but not sure.

As I said, a degree is what you make of it.

most Vandy fans I know like his fire, but also admit that he gets on their nerves at times.

he's a good coach and great motivator, but his childish remarks and over-confidence (my euphemism) can be a bit much for most.

It's the same thing. If you have the best, then you have the most to offer. Understand English and that some phrases mean the same thing. You are the epitome of what Gump's mom was talking about when she taught her son about stupidity.

I'm out by the way. Too much dumb for me.

If Franklin's best of the football world is to play in one of the smallest stadiums in the country, to be in the same department as "intramurals", having to apologize to Nick Saban, or to play for a school that has NEVER won a national championship in ANY sport...then he's clearly happy with being full of sh** or has a screw loose. What an arrogant prick.

Hell Vanderbilt doesn't even have their own band.

I hear you. It may seem that we're elevating franklin by talking about him, but really, its getting to vandy. The interview today is indicative of that. Its fun to watch it happen.

Basically, pretty much most of volnation knows this is a passing fad, vandy needs to be put in their place then will be moved to the back of the shelf. Franklin will end up leaving for another school, vandy will be again soon treated indifferently by the rest of the SEC.

Understand that a little thing called semantics
exists. Again, not something necessarily emphasized in the UT "we're real good" logistics program.

People here aren't really trying to argue the academic dominance of vanderbilt, right? especially when compared to the SEC? Are they some world class football and academic institution? no. but they are 50% world class at one of those at least, something TN has not been in a long time. (and most likely never will be in academics ever)

perhaps franklin should have attended vandy. what is he doing yrs after he graduated? coaching football, did he settle? there is not a school in the SEC that does not offer outstanding degrees, including UT. franklin appears to be the type of person that speaks before he thinks and once he has spoken and someone responds in a neg way he gets defensive and tries to make the other person appear overly agressive and harse. this a perfect time for franklin to be in nashville. this city has changed over the past several yrs, with more and more out of state people moving in with no ties to the area deluting the UT clout. nashville has not had a mayor born in tn for over 20 yrs. the local paper has a interest in vandy and does not cover UT nearly as much as they do vandy. as far as they are concerned vandy is the state school not UT. if UT had not lost to vandy last year we would not be going through this. so Butch needs to return UT to glory and franklin will settle elsewhere.

I'm talking both overall and in general. A Vanderbilt degree is world-class, followed by Florida and Georgia.

So, by your own statement, you have declared that, yes, someone else can offer that same combination.

Hey Vandy fan, move on back to the rivals Vandy message board. Also, same can be said for Vandy football with what you said about UT academics. According to Dave Ramsey, private schools are poor investments. You can do whatever you want by attending a public institution. Private offers you no advantage other than bragging. Example, do you know what a person who graduates from UT's med school is called? Doctor, which is the same as a Vandy med school graduate. But, UT's is cheaper.

Not to harp on the reading comprehension thing with which you're clearly not very proficient, but please tell me where James Franklin or I said that Vanderbilt has the "most" to offer in the SEC?

Oh, that's right, neither of us said that! We both said that nobody can offer the combination that Vanderbilt can.

Combination. Let that sink in for a moment.

Now, obviously, no two schools can offer the exact same combination. That's a given. But, beyond that, no one in the SEC can offer world-class academics and a reasonably good football program/athletics department. Granted, that's because no one else in the SEC has world-class academics, but the point still stands.

And, by the logic of claiming Vanderbilt's athletics are "dreadful," one must also posit that Tennessee has "dreadful" academics. Because, really, when looking at all the schools in America... isn't it completely reasonable to say that Vanderbilt ranks higher as an athletics department/football program than Tennessee ranks academically?

You lost me bro on that last sentence. I'm sure most 4 and 5 star athletes want to go to Vandy so they can play in the NFL! :loco:

No we are just saying idiots like you should stay on Commodedore threads and quit proving you guys can't hang with the big dogs. Never have and never will. Stick your elitist attitude where the sun don't shine preppy boy!
Can you comprehend that?:hi:

Lemme just drop this nugget in here. Franklin is touting the graduation rates of a totally different type of student athlete than he's currently recruiting. The kids he's getting on campus (the difference makers) are generally the ones who dont redshirt and get their degree in 5 years. Kuharsky is a prick, but he's consistent. JF is not used to being questioned and he acted like a spoiled little kid

Aren't the admissions requirements for UT athletes tougher than for Vandy athletes? I would think this nullifies the academic argument in a way. Sorry if I have misheard.

"Followed by" does not mean "along with." Florida and Georgia are #2 and #3 in the SEC, but not world-class degrees.

As of today, the University of Tennessee is the #101-ranked non-LAC on USNWR. As of today, I cannot name 100 schools at which I would rather play college football.

Thus, yes, Vanderbilt is better athletically than UT is academically.

This is funny. I live in Ga and I always hear Ga. Tech fans tell UGA fans the same thing. The Tech fans always say our players are smarter than your players. The bulldog fans always reply, If they are so smart how come they can only figure out how to beat us once in every 10 years.
Its the same with Vandy---Id say the same thing to them if I ever met a Vandy fan and I havent ever met a Vandy fan. EVER. No one gives a rats a$$ about the math team at their favorite school, if they do they are a Vandy fan.
Yes I know we lost to Vandy last year but it was going to happend. You just cant keep beating a team like we did Vandy year after year without having a loss sometime. It just took Vandy to have a good year and us to have one of our worst in history. Things with be back to normal soon, we will beat Vandy another 20 years stright and they will be talking about their Math team.GBO

Ultimately, Vandy and its fan are suffering from multi-directional pen!s envy.

They know they aren't an Ivy League school, though they'll damn sure try to convince you they're on par. They also know they're not on the same level as Stanford. Hell, there are public universities that are more prestigious than Vandy.

So, when talking about BCS conference, private schools who are they comparable to? Stanford? No, see above. USC, Duke or Northwestern are going to be the closest matches based on US News rankings. But, here's where Vandy gets angry.

You see, USC and Duke have athletic programs, football and basketball respectively, that get national attention and have experienced national success. Even Northwestern was relevant in recent memory in football. Vanderbilt? Not so much.

Vanderbilt's lone national championship is for women's bowling. Their football program, until last year, hasn't been relevant since the primary means of intercontinental transportation was by rail.

What is a Vandy fan to do? They're not in the conversation as an "elite" national university and their academic peers have actually achieved success athletically, something that continues to elude the West End faithful. So, they resort to "We're #1 academically in the SEC!" A worthy achievement, yet less impressive when you look at the big picture - 4 AAU schools in the SEC which puts it at 4th among BCS conferences.

The extreme effort they exert to compensate for their jealousy of other schools and their programs is pretty incredible when you think about it. It's kind of sad, really.
