SB nation - Northwestern tearing into us....

[Otis07]

all joking aside, the BIG 10 is not very good except for Michigan State and maybe Michigan, Iowa showed us that last season

 

[jimallvol]

Who really cares what NW fans think about our Vols and the SEC!

 

[ThreatLevelVol]

Westnorthern who?

 

[ntxVOL]

Man I read that and my blood started boiling. Rag Rocky Top, the SEC east and basically said we were no longer relevant. Since I retired I am pretty mellow but my blood pressure shot up 20pts. Those elitists need a southern smack down and I will be pissed if Butch calls off the dogs.

Same here, the relevancy thing kinda made me laugh, when have they ever been relevant? I think they are a little chippy because they beat state in a bowl game a few years ago for their 2nd ever bowl victory.

 

[UTwild82]

So let me get this straight. Northwestern is talking smack about another program being relevant?

That's amazing.

 

[norriscraftbasser]

I highly doubt they would have been bowl eligible with our schedule.

 

[ptcarter]

Northwestern --> Vanderbilt 2-dot-O

 

[sjt18]

Probably should worry less about random fan musings and more about the talent disparity between UT and NU.

 

[sjt18]

I highly doubt they would have been bowl eligible with our schedule.

Or Vandy's.

Starting at middle linebacker for the purple team.....good size, but slow on the edges.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Has everyone seen this, I came across it on the interweb today; really tore into us and the SEC (EAST) poking a bear....cant wait to see how many purple fans show up to the game....


Here's what I learned about Tennessee from its fans on Twitter - Inside NU

instantly thought of this....

 

[wesleydmartin]

instantly thought of this....

thats perfect.........

 

[volgrad500]

Northwestern lost to Michigan and Iowa by a combined score of 78-10. Who in the hell are they to talk smack? We will beat this team like a rented mule.

i literally lol'd at this at my desk, officially time to pack it up and head out for the day now.....

 

[JacksonTNVolFan]

They are going to get manhandled on both sides of the ball and totally dominated. The delusional Northwestern fan that attends the game will eat those words in less than a month. They just need to hope they don't get totally embarrassed by us. We have 4 and 5 star athletes all over the field. They got shut out by a Michigan team that we would beat the breaks off of so Purple Vandy will change their colors to black and blue after the Outback bowl. Really Northwestern? Really?

 

[norriscraftbasser]

Or Vandy's.

True

 

[Gandalf]

They have defamed even the song Rocky Top, calling it "Damned Trash" - oh the perfidy!!! AWAY WITH THEM!!! :realmad:

 

[tgardnervol4life]

I am beginning to really hate NW period! I hope the players are seeing this crap!

 

[1725gatorhater]

Purple is cute .... that's my 4 year old daughter's 2nd favorite color besides orange.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Isn't this what Iowa said last year?

I don't know what the majority of them said. I know the ones who showed up on VN were very classy for the most part.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I love it, alot of poster material to hang all over the locker room for the Vols to read for the next month!

 

[ntxVOL]

Isn't this what Iowa said last year?

I seem to remember many of them being apathetic about that game and wanting their coach gone.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I seem to remember many of them being apathetic about that game and wanting their coach gone.

Imagine how that would have worked out for them. Yeah I dont think Iowa alking much smack either.

 

[Special Ed]

Northwestern University: Probably the best-known school named after a direction in the entire country.

And the only university that would matriculate a Special Ed.

 

[volboy81]

Funny that a program who just won their FIRST BOWL GAME since 1949 has fans that laugh at another school & call them irrelevant! They sound a lot like Vandy fans but I guess that's to be expected!
