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 beat the socks off them every year.

That’s incredible to have had the same season tickets for almost 100 years.

I believe you made a typo. As I read it, I didn’t think it sounded right, so I corrected it in my quote. Go Vols!

I always tried to show my respect to Vanderbilt fans as I knew it must be challenging to show up for a team that hasn’t been very competitive over the span of decades. However, when Vandy beat us in 2016 their players ran to the opposite side of the field to taunt our fans, rather than celebrate with their students. Also, having attended a basketball game where an older Vandy lady heckled a young Uros Plavsic over his appearance and then screamed not to help someone up because “we hate them”, that was when I realized my respect was one sided. Vanderbilt hates our guts and the only reason they’re quiet is because we whip their butts.

30 years ago an emergent 5-5 Vandy team, trying to escape the SEC cellar, gave their best shot to an ascending Volunteer squad led by freshman QB Peyton Manning.

The audacious commodores even started a fist fight before the game(they lost that fight btw.....). When the dust settled, Vandy's bowl dreams were crushed 65-0, and the SEC had a new Sheriff.

History repeats it's self.
Vols by fiddy.

Do you play at one of the Tellico Village courses? Or Rarity Bay? If you still live around Vonore

I play still three of the Tellico village courses and have lived there 24 years. Worked in Atlanta for 40 years Born and raised in Rogersville on Halloween 1938. That was the day Orson Wells broadcast “The war of the Worlds” on the radio and many people thought Mars had attacked Earth. Although I don’t remember any of that, I always enjoy my birthday.

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.

The rebuttals to those comments, especially with a holier-than-thou tone, are arguably even more tiresome and irritating.

That's a little weird, but you do you 🤣

Very cool story though.

The Vandy fan base was larger and more disgusting back in the late 70’s up through the early 90’s. I learned to hate them at a young age.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, I knew a lot of TN fans in Nashville that would buy season tickets to Vandy just to get the TN tickets.
I was one…. For $30 you could go to all of their home games…. It was cheap entertainment and you could see the other SEC teams.
They hired Hoolahan as AD and he started talking 💩 about TN fans doing this and then Dinardo piled on. It pissed off a whole lot of people and that’s when the number of fans at Vandy home games plummeted.
Their fans were total a-holes back then….

I was at that Georgia State game. Pavia looks lost to me when he isn’t playing a run-first style. His arm isn’t that sharp, and I honestly think he can’t see over the line. If we keep him in the pocket, he’s not that capable. He could be like that Army QB, but I doubt Vandy would ever adopt that style of offense.

Anyhow, those message board posts are all pretty level headed except that one guy talking about Franklin at Penn State… which is the funniest pathetic statement I’ve heard in a hot minute.

Franklin tagged them with the stupidest battle cry ever... LMAO

The last part of your post. I try to root for Vandy because they are in Tennessee but they make it hard. In football they scare us more than beat us in my lifetime until the 2010s. More so i hate there basketball team and fans, I never root for them. They used to be an arrogant buch until the Stackhouse yrs. They can kick rocks.
