Well, given that Vandy is 5-0 and beat Bama last year, I can understand it.

How many other geezers recall Gameday coming to Columbia in 2001? We thought we had this big matchup against FL and got dogwalked.

This will be about the same for Vandy. It looks like a big matchup but it isn’t. Vanderbilt is 5-0 but will finish 7-5 at best. The Tide won’t have a let down game after UGA, maybe if the Vandy thing didn’t happen last year that would be a danger.

It's beginning to look like a lot of the handwringing about Bama after their opening game loss was premature. I have a feeling they are going to hammer Vandy. I think there is a 0% chance Vandy wins because Bama simply cannot lose to Vandy 2 years in a row. Their might be a riot in Birmingham if Bama lost this game. Bama seems to be on a mission now and with getting embarrassed by Vandy last year, I think they are going to smoke them to prove a point.

I was there. The guys doing the show were wearing coats and ties above the table with shorts and tennis shoes hidden underneath. One of the silly blackouts.

I’m pulling for Vandy; they remind me of our 84 team.

I'm pulling for Vandy. If they were to beat 'Bama 2 years in a row, the misery from 'Bama fans would be exquisite. The extra bonus would be to hear Finebaum try to explain this to his call in audience, GLORIOUS

I do not like Vandy's ascendence and if Saban were there, I'd be glad to see them brought down a peg, but it would be fantastic to see Bama lose to them 2x in a row.

Vanderbilt has a Fire Ant defense? Exactly how do they remind you of 84? Specifically.
That’s your sole recollection of 84, or you weren’t around yet more likely.

Pavia similar to Hold.
Beating teams they’re not supposed to.
Come from behinds.
Vibe from Lea is similar to Morrison vibe; quiet, confident.
Fun to watch.
Strong team unity.

You were pretty specific. Thanks. 🙂

I don't understand the sentiment. Is it because they are ascending and we are not ?

If that is the case, then the antipathy should be directed more inward than to a school that is making positive steps to better their program. I certainly can't fault Vandy for that, in fact I applaud them for the effort.

"Harvard" -- You sound/communicate exactly like a really dumb frog I know. :)

They were 2-24 in the league under Lea until they landed Pavia last season. ("the ascention")

What do you think is going to happen when he leaves?

Yet another example of Doubtfire trying to degrade the program with BOT exchanges originating from a single poster with issues.

I can't say I am aware of many individuals who actually know dumb frogs, or would voluntarily admit to such in a public forum.
But hey, You do You.

You're not fooling real posters with your cast of characters, Botman.

Your footprint and intention to flame this forum are painfully obvious at this point.

Skuddy BOT - The "CPA" who alledgedly from College of Charleston certainly has picked up his activity (flame posts) since being outed.

It makes total sense that a CPA from a different school would be active day and night on this forum froloking with the BOTs. :)

I don’t root for anyone else in the SEC to succeed

I have a hard time being happy with anyone else's ascendancy because of the notion that any other SEC teams success comes at least partially at our expense.

I admit I also like rooting for underdogs, so the vandy story is also a good one too.

The spread is -12.5 for Bama, so the oddsmakers think the universe will reset this year.

I will cheer for vandy in this one due to the underdog, its a good story kind of thinking.

But I wouldnt wager on them. I think Bama takes them. Although I wouldnt be surprised if they dont cover.

Yeah, if it's not us I most always pull for the upset. It would be fun to see Alabama fans go utterly apoplectic after putting themselves firmly back in the title discussion after beating UGA.

My gut tells me Bama will smoke them.
