As usual, tough to find a good message board with a decent layout. Not much intelligent football conversation when I did find one. I could learn more about football from a day on VN than I could in 3 years on a Vandy message board. Vandymania is one I used, with a excerpts from others as well.

Anyways, here's what the Vandy faithful are saying about the end-all purpose of their existence, and that is..... The Tennessee Game.

-Can't seem to find any general score predictions. Just a few posters that think they will win by 2-3 scores.

-They feel they will travel well. I would agree. Their fans are fired up for this one.

-They are pissed about the opening line.

-The play calling against KY was vanilla so UT won't have much film study........ and yes they're serious when they say this.

-The general theme is pretty much "Run the ball on UT all night like Auburn and we will kill them like Auburn did".

-They're getting really upset at all the bowl projections they are seeing for us, as apparently the majority has us going to a bowl.

-Somehow, some way, the awesomely realistic rumor of Eric Berry paying for his little brothers to come here spilled over into their message boards. They saw where the twins committed and are inquiring now if Eric paying for his brothers tuition is some kind of NCAA violation. They are sure it's illegal and want it to be looked into..... I'm embarrassed for them for even thinking it happened.

-They are referencing the fact that they beat Auburn last year and Auburn beat us this year as proof that they will win...... no that is not a joke.

-Apparently they refer to us as UTjr. I'm curious as to how that's justifiable.

-Before the Kentucky game there was a thread titled "Kentucky: can we actually tie up the series?" And it made me so proud to be a fan of a real school.

-They refer to us the way a lot of UT fans refer to Bama, in the sense that they want us to lose to everyone we play no matter what.

-They are pretty much taking all the credit for getting Dooley fired. I'm seeing a lot of comments like "Looks like we probably just got Muschamp fired. That's 2 SEC coaches Vandy has gotten fired in 2 years."

-They all seem to talk about the 2011 OT game in Neyland a lot. Apparently it's the only game Franklin "should have won but didn't".

-They say the same ignorant nonsense on their boards that the trolls do over here. "UT fans live in the past, Vandy is the team of the future!!!" (which would make sense if their 2014 class was #2..... or even #5...... or even #20......... but it's none of the above.)

-Actual quote from Vandymania
the best team ever to come out of the state of Tennessee was not the Vols, the 1899 University of the South squad was by far the best and was the first team to my knowledge to go 12-0 against major college opponents

-They take a lot of pride in counting the number of Vandy threads on Vol boards. They have their own threads devoted to counting them.

-Another actual quote from their message boards, this one is complete gold:
In a true rivalry, BOTH teams have to participate. With Vandy crushing UT 41-18 last year, being 13-4 in its last 17 games and riding high under James Franklin, and with UT only 3-19 in SEC games the last three years, it doesn't seem to me like much of a rivalry any more.

I confess, there was a time when I used to intensely dislike Tennessee... but not any more. Now, I kind of look upon Tennessee as Vanderbilt's little brother. You know how it is... you may beat your little brother to a bloody pulp when it's just the two of you together, but ultimately you don't want him to reach the point of being totally disrespected by the rest of the world.

-From what I'm gathering their game against us is the highlight of their season. Apparently there was a "beat UT" chant after the KY game.

Vandy's fans can be very intelligent.

If you look at the top 100 things they have much knowledge in, the list would look like this:

1. Math
2. Science
3. English

(then further down the line)

99. Football
100. How to talk to women

I'm assuming this is all conjecture, in some form, as the idea that Vandy has a message board at all, much less one that would contain this amount of content is, basically, well .... just unbelievable

There's something seriously screwed up with them.

I guess 2 wins against UT every 3 decades or so qualifies them as big brothers?

Please God, if there was ever a year to absolutely smack the **** out of Vanderbilt please let it be this year.

I ran into a Vandy fan the other day sporting his Vandy Shirt and hat and had to give a big ole', "GO VOLS"!! The reaction and look on his face was priceless. You would have thought I just ran over his dog as he yelled, "Franklin will whip your azz again this year. f*** UT!" All I could do was laugh. They truly are a bunch who have no idea how to handle a tiny bit of success.

I guess they don't realize it's an insult that they may get two coaches fired. It's basically saying "You were so bad as a coach that you lost to Vanderbilt and it will cost you your job." It isn't a compliment in the slightest.
