When's the last time...

....that beating Vandy turned out to be our signature win in a season? Or, that a home win against Vandy by 3 will look FAR more impressive than getting that ever elusive road win by 20 in the Swamp? Legit question, because that's the way this season could play out.

Early on in TN history, Vandy was the team to beat. Neyland was hired to beat vandy. As far as getting a road win in the swamp by 20+ that number can be counted on one hand.

Folks act like it's the Vols fault that Vandie is good this season. They're good. Gotta beat them though

Hard to fathom, but it looks like that is what will happen at the end of the season. Oh yeah, in the early 1900s, Vandy was one of the BEST programs in the South, if not in all of college football. They were the standard bearer and set the bar back then. Then we hired a man named Bob Neyland, "The General", who changed everything for the better. All of a sudden, we were beating them every season, winning several SEC and four National Championships under his tutelage while Vandy would only show glimpses of greatness once every one or two decades. This year, Vandy is likely to come in with a better record and a better ranking with a shot at the playoffs, and us knocking them out and ruining their year can be our biggest win and biggest moment of the season.

Forever ….if ever….because Vandy has generally been a cellar dwelling ball program.
