You said earlier in this thread that Vanderbilt is like Prairie View. You lost any credibility you would have had when you made that statement. You are the reason that Subway sandwich wrappers now say “DO NOT EAT WRAPPER”. I bet that clogged you up for a week.
Tell me.

There is no Prairie View of the SEC. And it appears you know nothing about what and who Prairie View is and you were too lazy to look it up. I will give you a few little snippets so you won’t embarrass yourself further.

Classifications

Prairie View's most recognized and celebrated coach was Billy Nicks. Known as the "Bear Bryant" of black college football, Nicks was head coach from 1945 to 1947, assistant coach from 1948 to 1951, and head coach again from 1952 to 1965. His record for 17 years was 127–39–8. Nicks was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999

Claimed national titles 5 Black college football national championships

Prairie View is recognized as the first historically Black university to create and play in a post-season bowl game
quote:
The Panthers won Black college football national championship titles in 1953, 1954, 1958, 1963, and 1964 and Southwestern Athletic Conference Championships SWAC in 1933, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1958, 1960, 1963, 1964, and recently in 2009
quote:
It initially appeared that the nadir had been reached in 1989. Several players accused Catchings of withholding their financial aid until they proved themselves on the field. At one point, only 12 players had GPAs above 2.0.[7] When the administration was slow to act, the players boycotted the program.[8] The boycott finally ended, but the Panthers finished 1–9.
quote:
In May 1990, Prairie View shuttered all sports except track and field due to severe financial problems. A month later, the Houston Chronicle discovered that the athletic department account was short $100,000.[5] Eventually, Catchings was charged with filing fraudulent expense reports.[9] He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years' probation and over $1,500 in fines and restitution
quote:
Prairie View bottomed out when it returned to the field for the 1991 season. The team did not have any scholarships because only 150 alumni responded to a request to help raise a scholarship fund. Due to this and other handicaps, new coach Ronald Beard found himself leading what he later described as an "intramural or club football" team at the I-AA level.[6] The Panthers did not win a single game until 1998. The 80 consecutive losses spanning parts of nine seasons (including two losses to close the 1989 season) almost doubled Columbia University's 44 straight losses between 1983 and 1988
quote:
In 1999 the SWAC moved to a new divisional format with Western Division and Eastern Division champions to play for the SWAC Championship. On November 14, 2009, it clinched its first SWAC Western Division Championship by defeating Alcorn State. The next weekend would see the Panthers go undefeated in the SWAC by defeating Arkansas Pine Bluff and securing an 8–1 record; their only loss during the season was to New Mexico State. They finished the season by winning the SWAC Championship on December 12, defeating Eastern Division Champion Alabama A&M, 30–24, in the SWAC Championship Game. They exited the 2009 SWAC football campaign with an unblemished 9–0 SWAC conference record.
Comparing Vanderbilt with a HBC school who at one point shuttered their football program is stupid and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

We (OU) once lost to Mizzou

quote:Agree, but that does nothing to support your assertion that a sub par Texas team losing to Kansas (hell, even OU at their height occasionally lost to Iowa State, K-State etc) is somehow worse than #1 Bama losing to Vandy.
Well, when you’re ranked number one every year for 17 years in a row, then you’re bound to lose to someone at some point you’re not supposed to. And it was still Kansas, historically the worst team in all of football for several years. And it was two years ago numb nuts.
