For Vandy Week

[volfan2024]

Yes I know we're down but I thought I'd post this gem from Vandymania from a genius Vandy fan:

"Historically Vanderbilt for years beat UT. It has only been since the 60s that the team has struggled."

LOL...."only" been since the 60s? So only 50 years?

Not sure how you can laugh at Vandy at this point of the season. They have a winning record,headed to a bowl game, won around 4 sec games. probably don't make Coach Franklins salary public because he is paid below average (just a guess).

Now isn't really the best time for Tennessee fans to be laughing at Vanderbilt.

It's like bragging for years to your cousin that you're a better golfer than he is, yet it was never really all that important to your cousin to be good at golf, but over the last couple of years your cousin has actually been just as good as or better than you.

Probably best just not to say anything about it, save embarrassment.

It's the perfect time to laugh at them.

I don't care what state we are in, THAT was a stupid statement, and the guy was dead serious.

On top of that, most of you are missing the point. You guys saying we can't make fun of them, you DO realize their best teams in the past 30 years are only 1-2 against UT in those years, right? The 2005 Vandy team, probably their best since 1982 up to that point, beat a 5-6 UT team. The 2008 team, first bowl team in almost 30 years, could not beat a LAME DUCK 4-7 Vol team who had just lost to Wyoming....and on top of that the game was at Vanderbilt.

Which brings us to last year, where the "great" James Franklin could not beat THE worst Tennessee team in the modern era, who was 4-6 coming into the game, and the same UT team lost to Kentucky the next week who played a WR at QB and ran 2 offensive plays all game.

So how about you guy wait and see if Franklin can beat this lame duck Tennessee team? If he can't beat THIS UT team, there is no way in heck I'll ever say the guy is a great coach. You go 0-2 against Dooley, and be the ONLY coach that can say that, you got problems.

From what I am reading, Vanderbilt is now a 4-point favorite. What does it mean when the point margin increases as the week goes on?

It means that the majority of the money is going on Vandy.

Vandy was a force to be dealt with in the 20's

...as was influenza, STD & institutional sludge.

More Vandymania goodness:

How about a cheap shot on Bray?...UT did it to Lattimore. If you look at the tape from the VU/South Carolina game, we really avoided trying to tackle Lattimore below the waist.

But, we cannot sink to their lowly level...

LOL at these morons.

They dont post his salary because its a private school.
