Black coach & white guilt?
Cool posters?
Almost came to paint vs Arkansas?

I just don't see it. They returned pretty much everyone last year and still lost 7 games.

They remind of last years Miss St as far as pre season hype.

I expected a lot more from Miss St last year.

I don't get it either. And their coach is an overrated douchebag.

They will finish 2nd to last in the East this year, but not finishing last is an accomplishment for Vandy.

Either way, Franklin is gone next year.

Best recruiting class in Vandy history, good young coach, and coming off a successful campaign last season which could very well have ended in an 10-2 record (four SEC games decided by a TD or less) instead of 6-6. Looking at the schedule I would say a 7-5 or 8-4 record is a possibility.

But they were competitive in almost all of them and probably should have won 2 or 3 of them. They are much more dangerous than they have been in year's past.

They are also recruiting a bit better.

If Vandy makes it to a bowl game and wins 2 or more SEC games, then that is a great season. Given the disadvantages of being a private school, small relative to other SEC schools, horrible facilities, very little fan support, relative lack of financial support, playing in the SEC, etc., making a bowl is a huge accomplishment. NOBODY in the SEC should be losing to Vanderbilt in football and they shouldn't be close to a bowl game when you look at these factors.

You need to put any "hype" they are getting in perspective.

Because Vandy is like MSU, both are perennial bottom feeders in the SEC. Any time they have a shot at a winning season and a bowl game there will be hype before the season begins. Problem is, more times than not they fall on their asses.

Its funny to here a losing program like SMU whining about some other team being overhyped. As for the Tennesse goobers who keep telling us Franklin is gone next year, will see about that. We will have a 4 billion dollar endowment nest egg by the end of the year and money talks. We are currently paying the man 2.5 million and will pay more if necessary. Several schools tried to peal Tim Corbin away but have been unsucessful. As for the fallen program called the big orange, they will never be able to recruit with their most hated rivals to the south because they do not have the in state talent to do so.

James Franklin is basically Lane Kiffin, but because people don't hate Vanderbilt like they do Tennessee, they're getting a lot of hype.
