Is Vanderbilt an upset this year?

[Eddie Vol Halen]

There is a lot of talk that if we beat Vanderbilt it will be an upset.

I will never consider beating Vanderbilt an upset.

This kind of thinking is anchored down with Dooley and Sal. We are a better team than a lot of people know right now.

 

[GERALD JONES 4 HEISMAN]

Yes, Vanderbilt will be upset this year.

 

[gnm53108]

No.

Question doesn't even need to be asked.

 

[KingtUT]

No. Thread over

 

[lawgator1]

Pick 'em.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

Ummmm..... Hell no

 

[Other_Guy]

If Vandy goes on to win 8 or 9 games and UT goes on to win 6... yes its an upset.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Jobu say you crazy. No.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

An upset is defined by Vegas odds. By the end of the season, we will be favored in the Vandy game.

 

[orangeluvr]

Look at the all time record, hell to the no. The new streak begins this season, kicking candy's ass is a Tennessee tradition. C ' om on man! :crazy:

 

[LordVOLdemort]

No, they won't upset us again this year

hard to know at this point. Need to see how things play out up to the game to determine which team is the better team

 

[DaphneVol]

I don't think so. It's not a rivalry either. I'm 34 and they've beat us twice that I can remember.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

NO! Next question please.

 

[Boca Vol]

Being this is a topic of discussion, it just goes to show how far UT has fallen.

I seriously doubt UF, UGA, USC, Bama, Auburn, LSU, Missouri, aTm..... are having this discussion.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

It's a toss up. IMO

This is what makes volnation a lot of fun. The wide spectrum of opinion.

From "is beating vandy an upset" to "I think we can take Oregon"

 

[Vol_Maul]

If Vandy goes on to win 8 or 9 games and UT goes on to win 6... yes its an upset.

To the casual observer, maybe. But it really isn't. Schedule will play an important part in the records of these teams. The difference between a hypothetical 8 win Vanderbilt and 6 win Tennessee would be Alabama and Oregon. These teams are pretty evenly matched, sad to say. But breaking in a lot of new starters in key positions could work better for one team than the other, and there is no telling what the psychological impact of the Vanderbilt rape case will be on that team.

Wasn't vandie ranked #23 in preseason poll? That said, I have three little words: same old vandie. GBO

That means about the same thing as UT being ranked after beating NC State last year.

no never n in my eyes n if vandy is favored then as vol fans its time to get brooms out n clean house.

we should neve never ever ever be on vandys level end of story..

For realz. The blind hog finally finds an acorn and now they are the better team. Freaking ridiculous. I consider the Vandy win against us last year as the upset.

 

[jps2194]

Vandy is overrated. Besides, we are EXPECTED to beat Vandy - EVERY year. No way this is an upset.

 

[photovol]

Vanderbilt would indeed be a upset. Last year Vandy gave the Vols one of their worst beatings of the year, they simply stomped the Vols and it wasn't even close. I, as do many fans have a hard time accepting our fall to the bottom of the SEC. Now, this is a new year and hopefully this team 117 can possibly finish a couple of spots higher in the SEC, we will know very soon as it's time to stop all the speculation and button the old chin strap and do some hitting.
It's Time
Go Vols
