Just a hint from fan bases more accustomed to winning.
One should avoid crowing too loudly if their glorious 8 win regular season failed to include a team with more than a .500 record.

This!
Do you know anything about football and what James Franklin inherited? He's doing things no coach at Vanderbilt has ever done. Yes, that's not saying much compared to any elite program, but it's a nice start most coaches would never have tried. Next year is Franklin's third year and he knows what he has in front of him. He now gets to play with a majority of his own recruits in 2013. And if he wins 10 games opposing fans will say he hasn't done something else.
You have to climb the mountain and Vandy is off to a great start!

The important stat is that Franklin has only lost once to a team with a losing record (UT last year in Knoxville). That is insane for a program like Vanderbilt. Franklin is something like 14-1 against teams with losing records. The win against winning teams will come, but we are taking care of business against losing teams. We needed to do that first, and it shows a different football team.
