Vanderbilt dissapointing

Vandy gonna Vand.

looked great to me.

They blew their load against Ole Miss.

I would like to hear what a Vandy fan has to say about this, but we know that will never happen

if anyone took the wind out of them it was mizzou. we completely manhandled them

They'll still go to a bowl. They've got Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky and Wake Forest left. They, realistically, can go 4-0. Vanderbilt's four losses are to: Ole Miss (who beat LSU), South Carolina, Missouri (much, much improved this year and most likely the SEC East Champion), and Texas A&M (no shame). Those are all four good teams.

Whenever Vanderbilt goes to a bowl and beats Georgia (who, once again, beat LSU) in the same year (possible Florida and Tennessee), it's a successful season.

did u really just say South Carolina will most likely be the East champion. nice joke, but this is mizzou's year

They'll beat Kentucky and WF. I give them at least a 50% chance of beating at least one of Florida or Tenn.

Both Vandy and Ole Miss understood how important that first game was to our seasons.

Outside of choking away the Ole Miss game, the other 3 losses came against pretty good teams, USCe, Mizzou, & TAMU. Vandy has had a problem with mobile qb's the past few years (who doesn't though), and all of those losses fall into that category. The defense has had a few key injuries, we've lost our starting qb and a backup,and we had our #2 WR and the #1 JUCO TE get dismissed from the team due to the rape case (no, not the one where we beat UT 41-18 last year). Most SEC schools would have a hard time handling those blows, but Vandy is working with less than all of the other schools due to historically bad recruiting. Here is Vandy's recruiting rank from Rivals since 2002: 74, 78, 132, 87, 62, 67, 90, 71, 61, 70, 29, 19, 21. I've bolded Franklin's recruiting class, and the #70 was where he only had 2 months to work with b/w getting hired and signing day.

As far as I'm concerned, I think its tremendous progress for Vandy to continue making a bowl each year. In a few years, when we have all Top 30 classes, hopefully Vandy can make the next jump and compete at a higher level. Until then, we'll just roll with the punches and hope we get a few breaks here and there.

You go to Vanderbilt REG? My neighbors (when I was at LSU) were Vanderbilt alums. I lived close to the Perkins overpass area...would be a small world if true.
