Florida or Vandy

Now, let me just preference by saying, I think we'll beat NMS, Florida, and vAndy. But just as an exercise, assuming we win at NMS, if we had to split, who would you choose to beat? I know, Florida has been a thorn for decades, but vAndy?? I despise Pavia--just as a person. I'd live with the Florida curse a little longer just to kill any hope vAndy fans have. What about you?

A Vandy loss looks better than a UF loss

I always thought of Vandy as the game that we got to throw sugar cubes in the stadium. They are not the same team this year. They are well coached and disciplined. I respect them. Florida is like Herpes. Even when you think they are gone, they come back. I don't want to lose either, but watching Vanderbilt in the playoffs would remind me of the comedy that football has become. Never in my life would I have expected Vandy to be in a New Years day type bowl and I still don't know if I believe they will.

Well said. I really respect Vandy this year. They are a worthy rival again and I really want us to be the reason they miss the playoffs.
I also want to kick UF while they are down and keep them down. I want us to show UF how far down the bottom is and let them know the true bottom is much lower.

We need to beat both teams mentally and physically. I have watched a lot of Vandy this season and their mental aspect of the game is more focused than ours. I think they are physically tougher than us this season too. If our team is going to beat Vandy, penalties have to be minimized and our tackling has to be next level. Their defense is a bad matchup for us this season.

Does Lagway enter the portal at the end of the season and does Heupel try to pull him? I heard Troy Fleming on the radio earlier say that an "unnamed QB" might enter the portal and he thinks we should try and bring him in. I assumed he was talking about Lagway.

Florida is not good. I was at the Mississippi State with my nephew ( Florida grad) and MSU handed them game at the very end down by two.

There is no excuse for another regular season loss. Coach, get your team and scheme adjusted and win out. Anything less is a failure and there needs to be evaluation and adjustments made in the off-season.

I believe CJH can get it firing on all cylinders for the remainder. There shouldn't be any entertaining splitting the wallets and candy. I get the question, but honestly, losing to either is a kick in the crotch...and we already lost to the gumps.

Florida is the team I want to beat most each and every year. We haven't won in the Swamp since 2003. We have to get that monkey off our back this year.

This. That’s the biggest goal left for the season since playoffs is out of the picture. Second would be knocking Vandy out of the picture as well but we NEED to win at the swamp this year..

Why would we want that disaster?

Why would Danny White need to be involved. Everything I said is within the coach's paragotive. Heupel is the guy, but he's got tough decisions to make in the off-season, I think, if we don't win out.

Same here, BUT.... I don't want this TN team to be the reason Vandy gets in a playoff.... any other year... hell with Vandy game, we can lose it.. long as we beat FL. I hope we win both...

Hate to say it, but we really need to win both.

This season is 0-3 so far in the three most meaningful games. Two of those laid eggs came at home and were epic choke jobs. The road game at Bama was a no-show. Basically, we’ve bolstered our reputation of folding like a lawn chair when there’s something big on the line.

Wining these last two will make us 2-3 for meaningful games (yes, even a win against a non-bowl eligible UF team in the Swamp is meaningful given our track record down there). There is never an excuse to lose to Vandy, especially at home. A 2-3 result is better than 0-5
