Vandy doing a little trolling......

I have a feeling a Vol is behind that !

Even lower expectations of Vandy this year from Danny Sheridan.

They made the list of Worst 16 teams of 2017!

Ouch!

For a moment, it looked like the Commodores had finally turned the ship around. After a 4-6 start to the season, the Commodores blew out Ole Miss and handled Tennessee to squeak out a 6-7 record and a bowl appearance. So what if NC State gave them the worst bowl beating since Martha Stewart used to make her own cake batter? Vanderbilt was making hay in the SEC! But like a great work of impressionist art, the closer you look, the more you wonder how they actually did it. What do Lionel Richie's Commodores, the Commodore 64 and the Vanderbilt Commodore offense have in common? They are all quaint reminders of the past that bear no relevance in the present. With an average of 281 yards of total offense and 18.1 yards per game, these Commodores may want to ditch the boats and build an air force for the 21st century. Nine passing touchdowns for an entire season isn't going to cut it in the SEC's navy. Ralph Webb is solid at running back, coming off a season with 1,283 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. But his chances of running outside this year are about as good as Charles Manson's, as the o-line will be a work in progress.

The defense was strong last season, giving up 24 points per game against bruising opposition. But as star linebacker Zach Cunningham and top pass rusher Adam Butler have moved on to wealthier pastures in the NFL, a command performance is highly unlikely. Yes, Vandy fans, just like the stock market, the SEC is very good at sobering corrections. But at least that means when your team is getting its ***** beat, you'll still be able to use your favorite cheer to opposing fans, "It's alright! It's OK! You're going to work for us someday!"

In a cigar magazine. Hahaaa
The guy has five other sec teams in his "dishonorable mention" section as well. Ole miss, Arkansas, Kentucky (who will probably be tuff),miss state, and Another crappo team that beat the vols last season. (South Carolina)
It's probably a good thing for the vols hardly anyone will see that article seeing how they will probably AGAIN lose to vandy, and a couple others on his list.
I honestly wonder why the writer of the article thinks Vanderbilt will be so bad when they return so many starters. The o line should be fine with them only losing the center. I guess the center is what got Webb outside so often? Oh wait, most of Ralph Webb's yards and Tds came from in between the tackles.
But I'm sure he's right. He does have history to go off of even if he doesn't keep up with football.
Edit:: apparently dude is a sports columnist for USA Today. I had never heard of him. He surely knows more about college ball than us internet guys. Maybe..... hehee. we'll see.

By All accounts Vandy appears to be as strong if not stronger going in this year. Guess we will see how it goes this season. They were right there almost every game last season.
