What other message boards are saying (Vandy pre game)

Yep, Vandy wasn't very good the last 3-4 years, but the is a new year for them. They beat Alabama just like we did and are gong to a bowl game this year. They have their season set on beating Tennessee and they are playing at home, what ever that means. Point is, they will be a stiff opponate Saturday, and if we are not ready, we could see another Arkansas ambush. Take this lightly and we play in the Music City Bowl.
Vandy comes into this game at 6-5 this year. Two years ago they came into this game 5-6 coming off consecutive wins against Kentucky and Florida. It looks like Coach takes this team seriously, and I hope we can get a similar result against a Vandy team with a similar profile.

My father went to both, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. I had a lot of Aunts and uncles go to Vanderbilt. Of course, back when they went to college, Vandy was beating the stuffing out of Tennessee. However, when I was born in 1938, Dad was always a Tennessee fan and he bought his first season tickets in 1933. I still buy these tickets. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A VANY FAN, BUT I DO RESPECT THE UNIVERSITY, and I want to eat the socks off them every year.
That's groce.

I mean, I would like to pull for Vandy when we are not playing them, as my late father in law was an alum and he was a fine old gentleman.

But, then, i remember their cheap shots to our DT's knees, and their Franklins, etc, and I just have to take the Joe Thompson, Coach Cafego position, and say ... F them.

I gave this a thumbs up just out of respect for the sheer history here. Amazing. Glad you are on this board. 👍

I agree with most of what you said here. As for the game Saturday, we beat a middle school 100-0. That's what's supposed to happen. I think a lot of people see how much more this team has been capable of this season. They're a click or two off, and it's fundamental stuff. Dropping balls, overthrown balls, questionable line play, etc. A lot of it is stuff you'd expect they'd fix week to week, but it continues. They've actually regressed in some areas.
The defense and our ground game are largely why we're in the discussion, and I'm grateful for that. It's nice to see us in contention for real again.
I think people mistake having a pair of eyeballs for being a nEgAvoL, and it's a bit tiresome.
Almost as tiresome as when people are more excited to say, yeah but,followed by something negative than being excited about the positve things. That type personality is irritating AND tiresome.

I couldn’t ever understand it either. I used to work with a bunch of Vandy fans and they hated UT.
When you have been dominated as long as UT has dominated Vandy, they tend to hate the opponent that does the dominated. Jealousy is part of the issue but just getting stomped year after year.
