The meltdown that is happening on the Vandy message boards

Pretty much. Although, I heard Adam Sparks from the Tennessean actually say.....hahaha.....that Vandy's "top players signed were as highly rated as any other team in the SEC"......... what? And then that idiot Mark Howard on 104.5 the zone repeated it like it was fact. I tweeted at them that that was just about as far from the truth as is possible.

Evidently, they're very excited about QB Shurmur, LB Smith and CB Sheffield. Not bad players but none of those guys would remotely headline a class at Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU or, dare I say, The University of Tennessee.

They can try to polish a turd all they want. When they're finished, it's still a turd.

Smith is a very good player, he is the real deal. Most likely he'll end up being a star at Vandy. He is the one and only Vandy recruit I wish TN would of been able to sign. I believe he is the most highly rated recruit to ever sign at Vandy too. That's really pathetic to think about though, ya know? They have never, and will never sign a 5 star player. Sheffield may end up being a solid player for them too, but I have never been overly impressed with his game. It's all good and dandy that Shurmur has 4 stars beside of his name, but look at his offer list. It speaks volumes as to what type of player he truly is.

Funny title for a thread on Vandymania

"Does the SEC Network even know VU is in the SEC"

He says

"I have had the SEC Network on in my office and i have yet to hear any synopsis of our recruiting class. Maybe I just missed it"

I would think it would be easy to miss. It doesn't really take that long to say "they suck" before moving on to something else.

The Vandymaniacs have a thread going about Michael Sawyers. One poster said he was a friend of convicted former Vandy player Cory Batey and that he wasn't a model citizen either. I bet they would jump to have Michael Sawyers on the Vandy team. They made it sound like Vandy should have signed both Sawyers and Wharton

The fact you think that way is part of the problem in America and a large part of society as a whole, especially the south. They did something bad, so they must be evil, so we should throw them in a cage (because that is going to help in 15 to 20 years when they get out of prison) without trying to figure out why or how we went wrong as a society raising them.

If half of the things these boys did are true (and seeing they were found guilty, its safe to say they are) then you have to ask where it came from. Where they abused as children? How about the kid who had no father growing up, how big of an impact was that? Studies show no father makes you exceedingly more likely to commit crimes as you get older, and studies show victims of sexual abuse are more likely to commit sexual crimes.

Telling them we hope they rot in prison or how they failed doesn't make the world a better place. Hell, putting them in prison doesn't make the world a better place because their deeds are already done and will never be undone. It's a punishment to them, not a protection to the outside world, because the fact they weren't able to be identified as people who could commit these crimes beforehand is the protection we pretend putting them in prison affords. What these boys need is years of therapy on top of this prison sentence to try and figure out the real meaning behind it, and then we use that information to try and target people in the real world with the same symptoms and signs to make sure it never happens again.

Rape is the worst crime. Rehab the petty criminals or drug posessers? Fine.

Rapists? Are u in favor of rehabbing Sandusky? There is no excuse for rape. None.

I really wish we could have landed Josh smith. Shame to see a solid player like that go to Candy. He will have a good career, may even be a star for them, might make the NFL, but sad thing is he will never even get to play in a bowl game with them.

I'm watching Finebaum delayed on my DVR and they just had an interview with Mason. My God, my dog speaks more fluently than that guy does.

There's no way I'm signing with that idiot if I'm a high school kid unless I'm really smart and suck at football.

I think he's got a speech impediment and that's not good if you plan on being a head football coach.

These guys are a riot!

This class was dangerously close to becoming our best in history.

Mason does not shy away from anybody and is quite the "go-getter" on the recruiting trail.

If you recall, Mason was able to create a little traction with some of the very best recruits in the nation including Cowart, Uluuave and others. Obviously, he didn't reel them in, but he created excitement by being part of their recruitment even if just for a little while.

He also doesn't give up easy. That's a fine trait to have in recruiting.

What's odd is that we have three really dynamic personalities as coaches/recruiters in the defensive backfield, yet we didn't quite close on some of our top targets there. Meanwhile, we basically didn't have an ILB coach since November (or was it last January) and yet, we're embarrassingly rich at both OLB and ILB in this class.

Whatever... I'm stoked we held on to Smith and Shurmur. I really like some of these late additions too.

These guys are like the nerd who announces proudly at their weekly D&D gathering that they talked to a girl last week, and while he didn't reel her in, it was an exciting exchange. She wouldn't go out with him, or give him her digits, or actually say anything back other than "no" or "leave me alone", but she did technically speak to him, and it was dangerously close to becoming his best night ever.

they should be proud they hung onto shurmur, they had to beat out Pitt, who just had our worst QB transfer to.

their recruits offer lists are embarrassing. about four or five have offers from Power 5, most don't. reference our class and only lovingwood doesn't have a P5 offer. (not hating on him glad to have a good snapper)

That's really odd because I thought he spoke very well at SEC Media Days last year.
