re: Why is Vandy getting hyped on here?

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.
