Made a little graphic for our Vandy trolls.

I've been tired of Vandy people on twitter and their dissing of UT.

Feel free to share if you like it. If not:loco:

I like it but, if you want to cook the books a little in order to paint the least flattering picture possible for Vandy, please take a look at these comparisons: 1869-1925 (i.e. before Neyland came to Tennessee and the apex of Vandy's program during the first quarter of the nineteenth century): I-A Winning Percentage 1869-1925. You will note that Vandy actually was 9th nationally in terms of winning pct.

Now, if you look at the period from 1926-present, the picture becomes far more favorable to our cause and profoundly embarrasing to Vandy's: I-A Winning Percentage 1926-2012. Tennessee is third nationally in terms of wins for that period, trailing only Oklahoma and Alabama, and 7th in winning pct. (6th if you discount Boise State's short-lived status as a Division 1-A program. Vandy comes in at a very chilly 101st (out of 110 teams) in winning pct. and has 365 wins compared to 669 for Tennessee.

That really puts thing into perspective, given the fact that Vandy's greatest success was before the SEC had even been formed and much of it even predates the formation of the old Southern Conference to which we belonged before the advent of the SEC.

These were win totals before this past season.

Also I felts as if 6 bowl wins trumps 3 bowl wins with win totals being so close so I may have skewed the order a little bit for that.

It may be "lame" to talk about Vandy, but remember that Neyland himself was hired with one prime directive: "even the score" with those elitists.

I agree. By their standards, Franklin has done great things. However, much of that success is predicated upon "smoke and mirrors," i.e. weak scheduling. He has been fortunate enough to catch us at a 35-year low in terms of talent and onfield performance; he was fortunate to catch Auburn during their worst season in decades and he managed to beat Missouri narrowly after their quarterback was knocked out of action early in the game. Franklin is no masochist and he has no deep abiding loyalty to the Commodes; he will ride the tailwind of the success he has enjoyed thus far to the first bigger name program that comes calling.

I think vandy usually has pretty weak scheduling. I think he just has vandy winning those close games that they probably would normally lose. I don't think he is all the great of a coach, but he seems to be a great motivator.

Yeah, winning twice in 29 years is something to beat your chest about.


That's like the guy that loses his ass in poker and has one good hand and slams it on the table forgetting that he's still a couple of hundred bucks in the hole.

Vandy tweets dissing the UT. No, I don't like it either but why even read the tweets not to mention get upset about them? When we were beating them almost as an after thought, our fans dissed them. Our fans diss them still to this day. So we're no better than they are in this regard. No, I don't have twitter account if you must ask. The uneducated junk that shows up on it isn't worth my time.

Vandy sucks and even most people in Nashville hate them. I remember living in Brentwood as a kid and the one guy who wore a Vanderbilt watch to school was always picked on for it. I'd wager he grew up to be one of the Vandy trolls here (which I have never seen and refuse to believe even exist, like Unicorns).
