They have so many NFL aged players, they should be pretty good. Michigan won in 2023 by keeping a bunch of old guys around. They weren’t as athletic as Bama, but they were very disciplined and stout enough to create holes up front.

Hope they beat the elephants this weekend will be fun to watch Diego play so we can pee in his Cheerios ! GBO!!

I could honestly see them winning 4 of those.

Auburn and Kentucky they will be favored in. Right now they would be favored over Missouri. and I could see them stealing a win out of the remaining 4 games.

They will be 7-5 at best most likely 6-6

You don’t want that…and like many who were quick to dismiss MS state and mark it as an automatic W, you cannot count your chickens before they hatch. Vandy cost us a shot at the SECCG in 2016. Probably would have got smoked by Bama again, but at least we would have made an appearance. Crazy we have not been to one in almost 20 years. I could see Vandy being a good program. Great city, best area HS talent in the state, and a very prestigious academic program. It could happen and it would suck for UT. When Franklin left for PSU I was relieved. He was a real problem at Vandy. Little Mason tried but he just wasn’t as good of a coach. I think Lea might be pretty legit, and he played at Vandy, and in this NIL era it certainly is plausible.

I'm still pissed about that 2016 Vandy game. Total choke job.

I'm still pissed about that 2016 Vandy game. Total choke job.

South Carolina as well but then again, had we on both games, we would have likely been stuck with Butch Jones longer and it would totally change how things played out with our program.

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.

I can't help but wonder if UT-Vandy would mirror the Iron Bowl if only Vandy had been decent all these years.

If they pull off the upset tomorrow in Tuscaloosa, then I might become a believer.

Vandy players are talking all this crap to try and sway kids to Vandy, that’s all it is. It’s nothing more than trying to brainwash and get attention on the school. At the end of the day though, it’s still Vandy.
