vandy is supposed to be the team that everyone laughs at and plays the 3rd string at some point in the 3rd quarter.

if you can't tell this isn't your father's vandy, i don't know what to tell you.

and all the credit goes to 1 guy, that's the head coach.

Its definitely not my father's Vandy. But it's also not quite the phenomenon that its being portrayed as.

I think you've overstated their suckage a little. IIRC they played UT pretty close all thru the 90's, even though yes they always lost. But they weren't getting thrashed like you describe.

They've definitely stepped up their game. Are they serious contenders? We'll see. IMO they were one no-call on a pass interference from beating USCe last year.

i can't believe people are fighting this.

don't nitpick here and there.

vanderbilt traditionally sucks. that's their role. that's who they are.

they don't suck right now. are they awesome? no. but, they play the game well and get the most out of what they've got. that's coaching.

and i say all this regardless of how this game ends, because this game isn't over.

I guess this argument calls for perspective. Perspective of what Vanderbilt has been since about 1950. A trash heap. Along comes Franklin and now they smear us (admitedly we were horrible, but still) plus they played toe to toe vs USCe, UF, and Northwestern. Georgia was the only lopsided loss they had. When did you think you would ever say that at Vanderbilt? And for all the religious recruiting followers, compare Vandys classes to many of those teams they are beating. Yes, as much as James Franklin is a douche, he can coach. That is why we hate him and think he's a douche. That and the fact he is a douche.

Ole Miss just needs to settle down and get back in this game. Vandy's defense is "anchoring down" but Rebs have talent at receiver position. If Vandy scores on this next drive though it will be tough.

Vandy fans (what little they are) are gonna be annoying for a few weeks.

I may have to go change out of this red and blue...I look better in orange, anyway.

He won 9 games last year in the SEC at Vanderbilt. Think about that. Did u ever think in your life you would say those words? They beat us 41-18. Dominated us. UGA didn't do that not did USCe. Yes, he can coach. I don't like him, but this saying he can't coach is ridiculous.

Bobby Johnson got to 7, and that was without a I-AA team and the worst UT team in decades on the schedule. I don't know if people realize this, but we've been through these "OH MY GOD VANDY'S GETTING FRISKY!!!" episodes before. So far the only differences are that A) UT happens to be awful at the same time, and B) Vandy's coach is a chesty, relentless self-promoter who gets a lot of air time.

Note that I am not saying that he can't coach; I'm merely saying that I'd like to see one (1) good win on his resume before I'm willing to jump on his knob like all the rest of you guys.

I don't think Vandy is that good. Ole Miss is that bad. Are we sure that Dooley isn't on the Ole Miss sideline somewhere?

Bout time for the back up kicker. Andy Pappanastos graduated from my highschool and was spectacular while there.

The problem I have is that I've seen this all before. I can think of about 5 previous Vandy coaches going back to George MacIntyre that had a slightly decent year and supposedly were changing the culture at Vandy. Franklin may indeed be different, but forgive me if I'm in "show me" mode when it comes to Vandy.

They were darn good in 1982(I think they were 8-4) with Whit Taylor at qb.
