What SEC schools have half of an academic name as Vandy? Which ones dont? And why is this relevant?


Florida, Georgia & A&M.

You really spent along time responding I’ll just reply to one more part of your book, yes A&M , state and Carolina fit the mold. No mizzou does not. A team like Oklahoma would fit it. But sure keep melting like a baby back bitch

They are a charter member with a winning percentage just under 80% in the years leading up to the start of the SEC.

So that the Vols can hope to have atleast one SEC win a year.

Because it's a founding member that didn't bitch out like Tulane, Sewanee, or Georgia Tech.


Exactly. Plus they bring a little class to a conference full of redneck schools.

The only way you get rid of Vanderbilt is if it is replaced with Duke.

Question is backwards: Why would Vanderbilt be willing to be in the SEC? If they joined the ACC, they would have lots of private school friends their own size.

Only one person responded with the real answer why they are desired. They are a private school which protects SEC communication from Freedom of Information Act. If all SEC members were state schools, SEC records would all be available to any reporter willing to file the paperwork.

Vandy is fine. Tell you what the SEC needs to do: kick Mizzou out! Seriously, what do they offer besides TV households and two good-size television markets.

But aside from winning the SEC East twice with Big 12 recruited talent... what do they offer?

I don't know what's funnier...Tennessee fans keeping track of their streak against Vandy, or the fact that it's only up to 2.

I wonder where they’d be if they’d hung around...


Well, they're 3-6 against LSU, with a current 5 game winning streak.

And High Point Restaurant in Monteagle would be recognized as one of the best restaurants on the SEC.

Don't worry about it. Go back to focusing on keeping the crayons in between the lines and let everything else work itself out.
