re: If this is the SEC Rant, where are the Vandy fans?

It's tough but I have been a Vandy fan for 42 years. Grew up in Alabama during Bear's heyday. The only time I root against Alabama is when they play Vandy. It's not so much the losing that is painful it's the way they lose. It's always like the end of the 3rd quarter, or beginning of the 4th and Vandy is winning and you just sense something horrible is going to happen. It always does. Even this past season - believe it or not Vandy could have been 9 and 2. The only game that they had no chance was Bama. But I think Franklin is the best coach we have had sense 1970 - my Freshman year. He truly gets that he has to change the mindset of the players, students and alums. I think he will succeed if he sticks around. Already has the Board committed to rehab of the stadium and a new indoor practice field. The basketball team sells out a gym that holds 17.5K. If the football team is consistently competitive they will come.
