As with many other delights of following the Big Orange the past few years, the joy of loathing the perennially under-matched opposition during Vandy week has, alas, faded. Like Cafego and Thompson, I dear sir, refuse to relinquish that pleasure. There seems to be fewer of us around. Though the mighty of the two teams has fallen, its not so far into the abyss to produce a loss. We will be victorious not only morally but on the scoreboard. We will win, because they cannot.

"the joy of loathing the perennially under-matched opposition..." Your prosaic musings gots me-a-thinkin' yer one of them Vandy Fugitive Poets.

Amazingly, I can read your post in character as either Howard Cosell or Foghorn Leghorn, and it works either way.

I'm done being frustrated and disappointed by this team. I just want them to win out and these guys to get a dignified exit. They cared deeply enough and worked hard enough, but just couldn't click.

We started seeing wide-open acreage on the defense in Q3 of Florida...and its still not fixed. When you see the other guys making plays in such open space, it is hard to process. I still don't understand it.

In terms of maturity this team has handled themselves well. It is a shame they couldn't pull out a strong win. I think they earned a taste, and they never really got one. Missouri sure was a sour note. Its the resounding thud of Tennessee's rump hitting bottom. Today we are hardluck SEC Cellar Dwellers.

Pull for your team the rest of the way. I think these kids would love to get a bowl game, and I'd love to watch them win one.

We have an incredible history, an adoring fan base and a great southern football experience. A little success and Big Orange Country will quickly get its mojo back. Go Vols.
