Um no

He's a Vandy guy


Wrong. Clay went to VU for law school but is a lifelong Tennessee fan.
Oh, and UGA, we're looking forward to whipping your arse for the third time this year tonight.

And if memory serves, I believe this will be six in a row.
Yep.


Did you reall expect a small private liberal arts university to have the same size fanbase as a bunch of giant state schools?
I actually think Festus Ezeli is Vandy's best pro prospect at this point. Jeff Taylor, overall, has underachieved this season, and I think he'd be making a huge mistake to leave early.

I think everybody is back next year for Vandy except Andre Walker, who I hear will forego his last year of eligibility. His heart has not been in basketball since his mother died last year, and he's missed almost all of this year with injuries and illnesses.

I think Vandy will have a pretty sick team next season though.

I disagree. Stallings is a POS, and Vandy has underachieved this year. They have the best combination of talent/experience in the league. They have the best player Jenkins, and Taylor is really, really good. They have big men, and really good guards. They are deep.


I actually agree with you, austingator. Not about Stallings being a POS, but about us having underachieved this season. This is by far the most talented and most balanced team Stallings has had at Vandy. If this team had played even close to its potential, it would have dominated the SEC this year. Here's hoping we can realize that potential in a couple weeks, when it counts.
Are we going by total number of sidewalk fans or percentage of the total fanbase? Because if it's the latter, I would argue that Vanderbilt actually has a pretty significant amount. Keep in mind how tiny our enrollment is compared to all of the other SEC schools - less than 6,900 undergrads. So there aren't that many Vandy grads out there, and many of them could not care less about athletics. And Vandy has a lot more sidewalk fans in Nashville than you think. Of the 13,000 fans at any given men's basketball game, I would estimate the percentage of sidewalk fans to be about 70%.

I would take UGA +9 all day long. Vandy will be without Andre Walker again and Steve Tchiengang will be playing hurt. I don't think the Dores will have an answer for Thompkins.

Oh, everbody remember when Vandy was ranked #15 in 2008? All I can do is


You mean right after we beat down Auburn in prime time? Yep I do.

I think Vandy fans' expectations for football are realistic. We know that we're not going to be competing for SEC titles or going to BCS bowls on a regular basis. We think it's realistic, though, to be going to a bowl game every other year or so, and to be in the hunt for an SEC title maybe once every 10-15 years. I think if we schedule better and get the right coach, that is possible.

Pomeroy projects Auburn to go winless in the SEC, fwiw.
Auburn wins this one by double digits. Not sure how many more they'll win this season, though. And going 0-16 in conference is a very real possibility.

When it's all said and done, I think this Auburn team could be one of the worst in the modern era of the SEC (1965-present). Luckily, they play an incredibly weak non-conference schedule. But when you've lost to the likes of Campbell and Samford, I'm not sure that you can pencil in any game on their schedule as a win.
