In the style of Leonard's Losers:
Clark Lea leads his flotilla of naval officer wanna-bees into Neyland Stadium Saturday afternoon against Josh Heupel's sharp-shooting Volunteers, looking to spray water cannons on the Volunteers' stock of gun powder.
The Volunteers have lost close games to a couple of the SEC's usual big-boy suspects in what was supposed be a rebuilding experience after last year's playoff appearance and then got caught out in the open by a bunch of line-jumping Sooners in Conestoga wagons for a disappointing loss at home that put a major damper on a possible CFP bid.
The Commodores, behind midshipman Diego Pavia have been sinking SEC foes all over the place. While they were swamped by a herd of Crimson elephants and were unable to put the Longhorns on a bar-b-que grill in the last minute, they still harbor hopes of sailing into CFP waters if they can overcome the orange-clad Tennesseans by the river.
Tennessee will mount an ambush and sink a few Vanderbilt ships early on. Then the aforementioned cannons of the Nashville Black and Gold trimmed flotilla will dampen the Volunteer ammunition and sink a few Vol defenders as well. But in the end, it won't be enough...
Grover's Loser, in a close one, Vanderbilt.
