It's hard to hate Vandy- feel sorry for them, yes, but hate them? Nah....
I've spent all morning at work trying to find a clip of it... No luck so far. I have it at home on VHS.... I'll see if I can figure out how to post it. Anybody have any ideas? Trust me... It's worth seeing!!
And all the Vandy players go to Peabody, why don't they just call it Peabody instead of Vanderbilt?
My favorite was the 1994 game. We came in 6-4 and Vandy was 5-5. Vandy was talking bowl game and UT was having a "down year". And UT proceeds to win 64-0. The best part was leaving the game and the time it took for us to leave the stadium and get to our car, UT scored 2 more times.
My hate for Vandy is more based in basketball than football. The problem with Vandy fans is when they even sniff success, like last year or 2005, they come out of the woodworks and trash talk like they've actually accomplished something. And Memorial Gym is one of the worst places for visiting teams that I've ever seen. It's lost it's magic some but it used to be absolutely horrible for home cooking. I've seen some of the worst officiated games ever in that place, and the fans are some of the dumbest I've ever seen.
So I will always hate Vandy.
This is always a tough week for me. I'm orange through and through, but I can't help but feel a twinge of pain each time my alma mater is unfairly disparaged.
The football program is lousy, it's true.
Most of the rest of the athletic department is competitive.
It is a good academic institution.
Every student and alumnus is not a prick.
The female student body is not populated by goblins.
Is it too much to ask to get a little credit for that?
It does get tiresome hearing comments about how superior Vandy's academics are when discussing football. But I don't hate Vandy. That's a guaranteed win every year. It's sort of a tune-up for the bowl season. It is anything but a rivalry. How can it be considered a rivalry when one of the teams never has a chance of winning the game? Yes, they may be smart, but they can't keep up with UT on the football field.
Vandy fans are and always have been sanctimonious turds who are beneath contempt. As much as I hate Bama I hate Vandy even more and relish each and every victory over them. The greater the point differential the better. One of my favorite Neyland moments was the last game on the artificial turf where we rang up 60+ on 'em and Heath Shuler kicked Shelton Quarles in the balls.
Last year I was on my honeymoon. My wife and I were on our way back from the Bahamas. It was September 20th, the day that Tennessee played Florida.
I knew that we didn't have a huge chance, but I love to watch the games and not know. So knowing that we wouldn't make it back in time for the game I TiVo'd it.
While walking through the airport I was looking down covering my eyes and my wife lead me through the airport. After getting on the plane a woman asked, "What on earth were you two doing?"
I said, "Well, I am a Tennessee fan and I didn't want to see the score of the game."
Her response has made me hate Vanderbilt fans every since. "oh they got killed. The score was 30-6. I am a Vanderbilt fan and I like to see a Tennessee fan squirm whenever I can."
It might be petty but
Vanderbilt...I never want you to win again

No offense, but I'm sure you looked like a douche bag walking through the airport. Had I witnessed that and found out you were a rival fan I would've told you the score as well.
Is it really that big of a deal that you don't see the score to where you have to have your wife cover your eyes and lead you through the airport?
We had Crompton playing QB...and Foster at RB...Not the same Foster that's in the NFL.
