Let's see if I can write one for Vandy....
Let's see if I can write one for Vandy....
The School: Vanderbilt
Record: 0-1 (0-0 in SEC). Vandy was 4-8 in 2015. That year, MT beat themselves. Vandy obviously used the momentum to go on to do absolutely jack squat while MT played in the post season.
Ranking: Unranked in the AP Top 25 and Coaches' Poll. The formulas have Middle Tennessee rated 69th in the Real Time RPI (Vanderbilt is 124th). That makes sense since Vandy is freakin terrible.
Mascot: Commodores. Named after Cornelius Vanderbilt who was never in the navy BTW. He built and owned steamships so they named him that. He also was a huge supporter and campaign donor of Andrew Jackson who implemented the Trail of Tears, which led to the genocide of the Native American in the Eastern US. So, Cornelius wasn't a real Commodore like Vandy isn't a real football team and he was a racist moron too.
"Checkmate, culturally insensitive Native American mascots. You’re not beating MTSU unless you call your teams the Birth of a Nations." I guess we can call Vandy "the fighting financiers of genocidal butchers".
Location: Nashville TN, where A-holes are now paying 400k for a 2 bedroom 800 sq. ft apartment overlooking a scrapyard. It's a sprawling nightmare with no civil planning at all. A mess to travel in and a cheap attempt to emulate a real city. Nashville used to have a soul. Well, they sold it and got little return on their investment unless you call a civil planning nightmare with a bunch of overnight hot chicken places progress. Vandy doesn't have a real tailgate area which makes sense since they don't have a real football team. Their college football environment is as inept as their ability to run a decent offense.
Coach: While Stockstill made his son actually earn his spot which led him to throwing over 4,000 yards, Vandy's coach was talking to himself (multiple personalities) in a parking lot downtown about which QB to start so he can pull him for no reason.
Conference: SEC, a conference that they've never done anything in when it comes to football. Vandy wouldn't even win in Conference USA. They lost to WKU last year which would have ruled them out since WKU went undefeated in conference play.
All-time vs. Vanderbilt: 3-13 (12 of those losses were in the leather helmet years when none of us were alive) In the modern football era where it matters, we are 3-1. There would be even more wins against Vandy but they were wussies and back out of our contract in 2006 and didn't play us again for a decade. If MT wins on Saturday, they will probably alter the deal again.
In the Last 20 Years vs. Vanderbilt: 3-1! Nuff said. They suck. We beat em with the best QB they ever had there. Twice. We weren't a good football team at all in 2002 or 2005 and we still beat them. LOL!
The Last Time We Saw These Guys: McCrary did indeed man up and led VU to a win. This year, no McCrary. In fact neither QB can run faster than an arthritic turtle and they aren't the most accurate QB's in the SEC either.
Is Vandy Favored?: YES. By 4.5 points, just like last week. We all remember how that turned out, right? Sure, GT was favored by 28 points against MT in 2012. After MT won by 21 points, Vegas thought differently about the Blue Raiders for the rest of the season.
Most Potent Offensive Threat: Brent Stockstill, the best college quarterback in Tennessee! - Well, he is. In fact, he's one of the best in the country.
Pro Tip: Before Vandy fans take shots at a freshman All-American who threw over 4,000 yards AS A FRESHMAN, they may want to look up the roster on this year's Manning Passing Academy and see if their 2 awesome QB's were there. No. Brent Stockstill was. You have to be invited to be there and you also have to be able to hit the broadside of a barn too. Neither one of Vandy's QB's could meet that requirement.
Pro tip: if you want to get away with a dig at Vanderbilt, make sure it’s also an even bigger dig at Tennessee. We eat that shit up. - After the South Carolina game, it's obvious that crap is on the menu at Vandy's cafeteria. Crap is also the standard of Vandy's football team so there you go.
Most Potent Defensive Threat: Their Linebackers
Matchup to Watch: Brent Stockstill and Richie James vs. Vandy's D. I'm not worried about VU's offense. They don't have one. South Carolina is a horrible team. I mean horrible. No flow on offense and a weak defense. Yet, they came back to beat VU which says a lot more about Vandy's team and more to the point, their coaching. If Shumer and Freebeck were VU's QB's last year, Vandy would have not beaten MT. McCray was an athletically talented QB who was poorly coached and under utilized. He won that game on his own talent not their gameplan. Sorry, VU fans but you don't have that this year which is why you'll have this schizophrenic 2 QB crap.
Interesting Fact: MTSU fans want to take over Vanderbilt Stadium. Have they ever really seen Vanderbilt Stadium? If they really want it, they can have it. Just give us a few minutes to pry the boat horn off the press box first. - That's a proud legacy for an SEC team. Lame.
Bonus Fact!: Vandy has had like 3 winning seasons since 1982. That's awesome. MT hasn't had a losing season since 2011 and went to bowl games 2 years in a row in 2009 and 2010. So 6 .500 seasons or better in the last 7 years. Vandy is like 3 .500 or better seasons in the last 7 years? The only reason VU had the 3 good season was because James Franklin was a great pimp, I mean recruiter. He had plenty of babes that he lined up to provide the "Girlfriend Experience" for potential players. 4 of his players decides to date rape one of these girls that Franklin himself introduced to them in the first place and..... Franklin is gone. He wasn't even brought back to the state to testify on the stand and look that girl or her parents in the eye. The sleaze bag also took everything that wasn't bolted to the walls and poached many of his players and took the recruits too. A very fine legacy indeed. Cornelius would be proud.
If Middle Tennessee State wins, Vandy will poop their pants.: We'll just laugh and go on to the next game.
It's like a creepy bizzarro world here.What are you overcompensating for?
What are you overcompensating for?
Since 1999, MTSU and Vanderbilt have played 4 times. The record? 3-1 in favor of the Raiders. I think we have plenty of experience with you all. No need to "overcompensate" except maybe for all the empty seats we'll see tomorrow.
Read his post, it will make more sense and I doubt he's overcompensating for anything football related.
It's like a creepy bizzarro world here.
Funny reading Little Middle fans act like they're relevant
And the truth really does hurt. 47-24The truth hurts I guess.
