Vanderbilt talking and targeting national title in football

[dieseldaddy]

We spend most of all vol life acting like vandy not real. All they have to do acting tough for us to let our hate out. They are like a splinter. The hate fester and all it takes is something small and it just all comes out. God, I love college football.

The funny thing is, I think Clark Lea actually believes what he is saying.

Bwhaa, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!

I think he's talking about a natty for the Candy chess team.

I suspect 'ol Vandie will receive multiple ass kickins this fall on account of all the mouth runnin

It won't be for running their mouths, it will be because they suck.

look forward to hosting 4-8 11-0 Vandy

fake it until you make it

I really hope they are 11-0 when we play them. Last years Alabubba game was pure gold. Whenever some mouth breathing Bammer says roll tide my new response is "Anchor Down."

Over a century ago, Vandy was THE rivalry. From 1892 through 1913, the Vols had a 0-10-1 record in their first 11 games against the ‘Dores. I have read that when UT finally beat them in 1914, classes were canceled the following Monday so that students could continue to celebrate!

Neyland was hired to beat Vandy. We beat Vandy just twice in 24 tries from 1892 to 1926.

From 1926 (when Neyland was hired) to 1940, and then from 1946 to 1952 (second stint), we lost to Vandy a total of 3 times.

I think it would be far more interesting for the Tennessee-Vandy game to actually mean something—maybe the winner gets a playoff spot and the loser is out? Would be more satisfying to beat the ‘Dores with those stakes on the line than just another game with little to no drama. Might actually make this a legit rivalry.

Nah, I like it the way it is. It is a Thanksgiving tradition whipping the fire out of the sweater vests.

Don't know what they are smoking, but that's 4 losses right there. Vandy isn't sneaking up on Texas, Lsu, Auburn, and especially Bama! Bama- 42-20. Revenge.

Alabama is going to murder them.

Now with the playoff era, they can probably get in at 10-2 so they could lose to Alabama and Texas and make it but they are not going 10-2. They will be lucky to be 6-6.

This is a shining example of why history does not need to repeat itself. Why would we long for being in competitive games with them? If UT is back to knock-down-drag-out matches with Vandie it would be rock bottom all over again.

Vandy doesn't even have the fan support to be good. They also recruit in the 30s... they couldn't even finish in the top 3 of most of the G5 conferences.
