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.

And keep in mind that candy has been in the SEC since 1933 & has a grand total of ZERO SEC Championships!

Vanderbilt University started caring about REALLY competing in football in 2011. Since then they lost to us in OT and beat us like a drum. The Vandenburg kid is the first JUCO player they've accepted..... Ever. The rest of the SEC have always used them. When Vandy starts accepting JUCOs they've become serious about football.

Remember when Vandy beat UT this past season, won a bowl game this past season, and won nine games this past season. Records from history only go to show how fall we have fallen.

Maybe that's because UT has a tradition of winning and Vandy has a tradition of sucking and losing. One or two seasons of UT going through one of its toughest stretches ever and Vandy having one of its best stretches ever doesn't change that.

People were saying how Bama was done before Saban. Then Saban came along. Winning programs find ways to get back to winning. UT will get back there. Vandy? They've never been there unless you're talking the leather helmet era and even then they still didn't win a title.

Sounds great and all besides being in jail after. I think you need to stay away from the drugs.

Nice! The fact that so many Vol fans are talking about Vandy shows they have become a legit threat. 100% of our fans would trade seasons with them from.this past year . They beat us, so they have bragging rights till we beat them.

No, it shows that the UT program has taken up residence under the bench of an outhouse.
