So has Vandy shown anybody a glimpse of hope that they can win against UMASS next week? Or rather can they win any game left on their schedule? I haven't seen anything from them that makes me think they can score on anyone. I am in an SEC Suicide Pool and am scared to death to play with Vandy. I'm tempted to hold them til the last game of the season and hope everyone else is eliminated by then so I don't have to use them.

in my pick-ems, i had a really tough time with this game. umass is really bad, but vandy might be worse. in the end, i went with vandy, but its gonna be tight. they are dead last in points for (125th) and near dead last in points for (117th). they look turrble.

for comparison, umass is 104th and 108th respectively. based on blind squirrel reasoning and the home field, i leaned toward vandy, but im extremely nervous about that one. i wouldnt bet on them winning.

UMass is awful. They got beat by Colorado, who is awful.

Vandy is a 17 point favorite. If there is one week in a season to choose Vandy, this has to be it... Even thought a loss by vandy wouldn't surprise me.

if you can avoid Vandy for the entire season, then do that.... But if are forced to pick them sometime this year, this is the best week for them.

I'm watching some of the OM-Vandy replay and wow, I'd avoid them at all costs. This team is incomplete, poorly coached, lacks motivation, and the coaching they have is piss poor. I honestly can't tell how good their opponents have been because they keep missing blocking assignments, running wrong routes, tackling like ****, and generally being completely out of position. They might not win a single game all year.

I honestly wonder if Franklin just got out at the right time or if their new coach just really is that bad.

i think its a little of both. derek mason is in WAYYYY over his head. his answers to post week 1 questions were laughable. dude looks like a deer in headlights. if vandy hadnt just won the college world series, i would legitimately feel sorry for them.

Yep. Franklin knew it wasn't gonna be pretty. He also ran the spread and built his team around smaller, quicker players, who have no business playing smashmouth football. The QB play is atrocious and I was surprised they didn't take him out. I believe he was something like 6/25? 3 offensive points in 2 games, and that was because we turned it over on our own 10 yard line. Outside of one 30 yard run, they had absolutely nothing.

Vandy was tied with temple 7-7 and robinette was 4-6 for 38 yards when mason benched him. Mason hasn't given robinette another shot. WTF?

Their best overall player is Brian Kimbrough, who fumbled on his first carry against Temple and hasn't been in a game since. I don't know what the guy is doing.

That coaching decision to bench Robinette made no sense, whatsoever. After that the game really got ugly for Vandy.

im watching a replay of this vandy game....it is a TOTAL disaster.


this seriously might be the worst sec team i have ever seen. after a turnover and on second down, vandy gets the ball on the 4 and phillip rivers little bro is trying to get a play from the sidelines and they take a delay of game because vandy doesnt have any timeouts left....its juts a complete **** show in every possible way.

its a slow motion train wreck...
