9-4 sure as hell beats the 3-9 seasons we had before Franklin got the job! Vandy is finally recruiting and sighning SEC talent! Theres A lot to be excited about in Nashville!

Vandy's best season in 100 years resulted in a win over UT. I applaud you. Seriously. It doesn't change the fact that Vandy is so bad, a loss to them gets the coach fired.

Sit back and marinade on that, friend.

Now, UT's current coach beat Franklin and his Vandy team with mid-major talent. Do you really think you'll be a threat when he lines up with SEC talent?

Sit back and marinade on that too, friend.

Well as far as logos go I much prefer the interlocking UT over the power T. I do also understand that there some issues with that logo and Texas' interlocking UT. I think the "power T" looks a bit clunky.

Gerry DiNardo also had no respect for the Power T, but he learned . . . to the tune of 45-0 (1991), 62-14 (1993) and 65-0 (1994). Tennessee vs Vanderbilt 1869-2011 He lost the four games he coached against us by the combined score of 201-39.

Fun fact about DiNardo, he was then hired by LSU, sued by Vandy, forced to pay them the remainder of he contract, and ultimately landed in a law school text book.

Yo, imma, where u at brah? Figured we'd see you in the recruiting forum this morning, D'Andre Payne thread what with you claiming to be a "fan of All Tennessee teams" and whatnot. UT, one the teams you admittedly pull for, landed the 4 star stud outta DC this am. Kinda sucks for one of your other state teams who had him on campus yesterday, but I knew you'd be happy that he did sign with one if your state schools today, in case you hadn't heard. 😊

You have to wonder if the following question came up, and what DiNardo's answer would have been, during his initial post-hiring conversation with LSU's athletic director: "Coach, could you explain how you managed to lose 65-0 to Tennessee? I need something to use for my 'vote of confidence' statement to the Board of Trustees."

The only plausible answer that comes to mind would be: "Well, _____, I guess I underestimated the motivational impact of all of my "that-university-to-the east" comments. At least, LSU doesn't have a formidable instate rival."

The simple math of it immy is that 9-4 beats vandys typical 2-10 seasons. No doubt about it chief. Congrats! The Won-Loss record at vandy that makes snakehead a coach 4 life there is a won-loss record that on average, over 3-4 years gets a coach at historical SEC winning programs (Bama, Fla, Ga, UT) on the hotseat and/or fired.

Please keep in mind 2 facts-
1. The combined record of the teams Vandy beat last year was 37-72 (.339%)

2. Even after throwing in the records of the teams you lost to last year, which was 44-9, your Strength of Schedule this year is 82nd in the country based on 2012s results. As a point of reference, UT ( another of your favorite Tennessee teams) has a SOS of 21 this year based off last years records.

My point? I have 2. Who you play to compile your winning record matters and ..... your 9-4 historical record was a very weak one.

Ok, feel free to now continue your misplaced bravado.

The simple fact that this thread got enough traction to get out of 1st gear tells you exactly where the TN football program is at right now, there's nowhere to go but up.

I doubt too many VOL fans would be *****ing and moaning if CBJ had the Crimson A turned upsidedown, in fact it'd then be considered taking the bull by the horns and CBJ would be praised for it instead of being called a douche.


Let Franklin do his thing at Vandy (which he's doing nicely by the way) and let's let Butch Jones do his thing at TN and we'll see how it shakes out. I think we'll be alright.

I do remember watching UT games when for whatever reason, the power T was upside down on the wall right below the student section and I was puzzled. The first time I saw it was in the Oregon game in 2010...maybe that's why. I was like "when are they actually gonna put the power T not upside down?" But that was obviously the least of my concerns...

Who cares what he has respect for or anything else James Franklin does? I'm interested in what Butch Jones is doing for Tennessee football, not in what some other coach does en route to seeking Music City Bowl glory.

To the above post ...we should as Tennessee fans. He has made Vandy more relevant if not a serious threat. He has recruited well, he has players we wish we had. In Oklahoma, you rarely find a vehicle that doesn't have an upside down Longhorns logo, to not take him serious regarding in-state recruiting would be a mistake. The Vols must own the state in top 50 player talent to be successful overall.

I think you probably saw the big board that the cheerleaders use for something and they leaned it up against the wall upside down. No biggie.
