What's Vandy's problem?

While I agree with the sentiment of 30-2, the game last year was not like the fluke Memphis game in '96. Vandy has played us dead even for the last two seasons. I think people are missing some warning signs here as far as PR.

We need to beat Vandy so badly that any time they even open their mouth next offseason people just laugh. Time for a statement game. And yes, my hatred for them may be clouding my judgement, but it's time we clarify the pecking order and leave no doubt.

I must respectfully disagree.

The Vandy game last year was actually lost during the Missouri game. The team gave up on a woefully inept coach after a multiple over time game that Dooley didn't appear to want to win.

Three of the teams Vandy beat on their supposed magical mystery tour 2012 were so bad that they fired their coaches. Two of those teams were at historical lows in program history (Auburn and Tennessee).

One of those teams had already been soundly beaten by the same UT team earlier in the year (NCSU).

That really means that of a 9 win season, Vandy would not conceivably reproduce but 6 of those wins with competent coaching on the opponents sideline

If Missouri's QB stayed in the game, they are potentially down to 5 wins.

The Ole Miss game was a total toss up and I doubt Vandy pulls it out next year with Freeze in his second year.

That means they are down to 4 wins that are reproducible: the perennial college power houses of Presbyterian, UMASS, Kentucky and Wake Forest.

I do agree, however, that this fall in Neyland, UT needs to not let off the gas and make a statement. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Wake Forest could be a toss up for Vandy. Wake is good enough to go bowling in 2013.

I actually agree with you haha. I agree that Vandy has largely been smoke and mirrors-it's the perception that is out there-the OT game and the curb stomping last year (whatever the cause) has left casual fans/fence sitters/ smart ass Vandy fans with the impression that our programs are close in stature.

They are not, and I for one would rather beat them by 50 this year than beat Alabama and lose to Vanderbilt. I can't believe I'm typing that but I really mean it-we need to rebuild our foundation of ALWAYS dominating Vandy and Kentucky.

Wow I can't believe how ready I am for the season haha

I hope Coach Jones and every UT fan remembers how Vanderbilt has acted after the win. We destroyed them for decades. Maybe some fans threw a lab here or there, but, for the most part, Vanderbilt kept their head hung low in submission and the true Vol fans didn't laugh at them or try to make them feel worse. In fact, I know many Vol fans who tried to help Vandy fans look on the bright side, re-assuring them that Vandy's turn would come.

Now that Vandy has tasted a tiny bit of success and a break from the perennial domination of the Tennessee Vols, they can't seem to keep their mouths shut. Every chance they get, they flash their ego and try to make Vol fans feel inferior - which is insanely absurd, considering the UT v. Vandy series record.

I hope Coach Butch Jones remembers how Vandy treated his fans. I hope he tries to run the score to 100+ every chance he gets - from here on out, no mercy for Vandy - EVER!

After Vandy once again becomes irrelevant this year, or next, I hope Coach Jones has it in him to kick them around when they are down. Who cares if they've had a bad run of luck, or other reasons they returned to their home at the bottom of the SEC? Beat the piss out of them and run the score up as close as we can get to 100pts+, every year until Tennessee & Vanderbilt no longer play each other!!!

You do realize that everytime someone makes a vandy thread that they get the idea they are relevent...It's true!...It gives them the feeling they are something they will never be...A contender....Please stop with the vandy threads and better yet stop following them completely, It makes YOU look scared.....ITS VANDY FOR GODSAKE!!

Saw this tweet along with another one similar to it on their page talking trash about UT

Here's a "direct tweet" to Tennessee fans: When I speak of kids only considering the Top 10 schools, I'm not talking about your team.

Is it just me or is Vandy on some sort of high horse after beating us last season? I've never really cared much about Vanderbilt as far as rivalries go - I've always considered our Florida game our biggest rivalry, just my opinion...But The more Vanderbilt talks about UT, the more I hope we beat the crap out of them this year and put them back in their place...

If Vandy wins 2-in-a-row, is it a rivalry?:ermm:

Really, I am not going to bother looking this up, but you know Vandy has beaten TN 2 times in 30 years, I mean with all the the variance in college football it happens sometimes. This is a non issue. I would say that Vandy I know has beaten UGA at least 2 times in the last 30 years.

Yea, but Vandy AND KY in two seasons has to sting! I think it's the beginning of a trend. :unsure:

No, because he was smart enough to not try to trash talk an opponent's season where they destroyed us.

You're probably the same type that laughs at Alabama for losing to LA-Monroe in 2007.

You both make great arguments that should go down in Volnation history as some of the most memorable. I didn't read them of course, in just trying to get you two to shut up.

You haven't been around long so I'm going to assume you haven't seen just how off topic threads can get. I don't think our 4 posts will hurt too much.
