The VPLR has been a running joke (that sometimes is true) for a long time. Not sure that is meant to be a serious insult.

Let's compare UK basketball to UT football for fairness and see how it looks. But oh wait, UT fans will always say "It's the SEC! We don't care about basketball! Only UK does". So that is kinda pointless. UT has more history than 90% of college football teams out there. You got one of the great guys in Neyland to come in and set some foundations for great coaches to follow. Meanwhile we've been wallowing in the mud since we kicked Bear out. Thank God the basketball route worked out though.

What if Rich Brooks had never retired? Do you think he could have kept up the winning seasons?

No Tennessee fan should EVER talk crap about our respective basketball programs....it's foolish and stupid....as is a Kentucky fan daring to talk mess to a Tennessee fan about football.

Yes and I'd like to think he could have beat UT a couple years there too eventually. The one glaring thing I think he really missed out on. He did really well to pull us out of 2 and 3 win mire. But he was never getting us to 9 or 10 win years. Stoops won't either unless something weird happens.

I don't think McCat was questioning anything to do with UK vs UT. But there was a 180 for a lot of Vol fans how how the UT season ended which might have been what he was talking about. It was kinda a general "lets take it slow approach while we get better" and its turned into "we're the next bama dynasty" stuff.

I take those guys with a grain of salt, they're few and far between. I'd say there are many more saying pump the brakes regarding 2015 "championship expectations" than there are advocating that we'll represent the East in the SECCG. While I believe 8 wins should be the minimum expectation for wins given the state of the rest of the SEC, I still don't think we're favorites to win the East...I think Georgia and Missouri should be given better odds than Tennessee.

It really doesn't matter what his point was. I don't think I would say much about what we expect when our team has thoroughly dominated yours, in good years and in bad. We are probably still closer to competing for the top than UK is being consistently relevant in the SEC. Just unnecessary.

Can we not talk about Kentucky in this thread? This is exclusively a Vandy hate thread (UK fans, you're welcome to join in on the Vandy bashing).

Nothing...
Nothing is exactly what you guys have accomplished on a football field.
Basketball?
That crap means nothing in the South. It's all about football, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
Have we accomplished much on the gridiron of late? Not really but who seems to be headed in the right direction? Who has owned who as of late when both teams are supposed to be on the trajectory up?
Kentucky football is nothing. It will always be nothing. You need to understand this, no embrace it. We will forever own you in what really counts, and it ain't basketball.

They have a women's volleyball team that is watchable, but other than Justified there just isn't much to get excited about

I haven't checked out VandyMania in a few weeks, but I visited their site this morning and got a great laugh. Thank you Vandy fans for bringing all this joy to my life.
