What Other Message Boards Are Saying: Vandy Edition

[BenGrimm]

-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."

I would be ashamed if we were known as coach career ending loss. That would mean we have historically sucked so bad that losing to us is to embarrassing for any AD to justify retaining their coach. That is pathetic.

FWIW Dooley was done regardless of the Vandy game. It just sped up the process one week.

 

[BenGrimm]

Five of those games happened in six days. All on the road. And they also were not scored upon as well.

And to be fair, Sewanee was an SEC founder, they just went even more towards education (and religion) than Vandy did, so it didn't make it very long.

The statement the vandy guy made was that that Sewanee team was the best in the history of the state of TN, and to be blunt, that is not a very bad argument. Vandy guys say stupid things, but that is not one of them, not if you value history and records over newness and fandom.

Come on! 1899? The game was still in its infancy back then. The forward pass wasn't even legal.

this shouldn't be that surprising, as we took the "vol walk" from Auburn

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was taken from Ole Miss.

They're wanting to do this "Dore Walk" at Neyland stadium

oh yeah my bad.. didn't even think about that

There also were no substitutions. Play ball both ways, which just further adds to the idea of best individual team because the players had to be tougher and in better shape.


But, no forward pass? You mean like how Auburn basically beat us?

They also played with up to 15 men on each side and how scoring was kept varied from field to field. It was a completely different game in that era. It still resembled something closer to Rugby and was on the brink of extinction due to how violent it was too. I just don't see it as comparable to anything resembling what is played today.

Yea they're only going to embarrass themselves anyways, so not like it matters.

Facts and basic common sense aren't allowed here.

They're wanting to do this "Dore Walk" at Neyland stadium. Granted, it will be a huge failure anyways, but still.

It's called StarWalk at Vandy's home games. It's literally about a 60 foot walk, across one 2 lane city street, from the McGuggin Center to their middle school stadium. StarWalk.......Bahahahaha!!!!

It is a direct reflection of Franklin's arrogance. It is stupid and attention getting and shows total disrespect to our program just another reason to hate Vanderbilt.

It doesn't really matter to me what they call their walk into Neyland, because their walk out of Neyland is going to be called a limp.

 

[KBVol]

Starwalk?

lol:

Yes. I know.....StarWalk!... Bahahahaha!!!!

I don't hate Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is like a 5 year old wanting attention. They knock the hat off your head every now and then and they may kick you in the shins, but at the end of the day, Vandy is still a 5 year old that needed a better raising up to that point.

 

[bigorange]

Starwalk?

lol:

Starwalk.

It's the Moonwalk's wannabee, pretentious, uppity little brother.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

With Vandy's Jedi hero James Starwalker.

Been a Vol fan since I was smacked on the rear and handed to my mom. That being said I believe my first post should read as the following, I hate Waama, the Lizards, the Fooldogs, that chicken team, and any team that thinks THEY WILL EVER OWN OUR STATE!! Franklin is nothing more than a female cleaning device used on Summers Eve.That being said.....GO VOLS AND STOMP THE CRAP OUT OF CANDY. Own our state, HA BUTCH PLEASE!!!

Sounds good lol. Maybe they can show up in canoes, do their little walk, and run onto the field between their six band members in the shape of a V.

They oughta call it the "Walk of Shame"

 

[neyland's own]

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

Comin' in hot, I see. Strong first post, though. I like the spirit.

Vandy's cocky QB with the hyphenated last name will be on his back all game long. I thought only women hyphenated their last name after marriage. I guess gay guys do the same.
