Can we talk about how a coach at a school touted for its academics cannot spell or use proper punctuation?

He dilutes the value of my degree from there every time he tweets.

Most of their fans weren't either, which is BIZARRE to me. How do you grow up in this state, have no tangible connection to that school, and still choose to be a Vandy fan?
Self-flagellation at its worst.

Suckers for punishment, perhaps?

Look at some of their football players' tweets. Some of them can't string together a full sentence.

FYI, Wes has said he doesn't think that tweet was directed at Hurd based on people he's talked to with Vanderbilt connections...

Of course Franklin is going to act like it wasn't toward any one recruit. and would deny it to even his own people. I will always believe that Hurd informed Franklin that he was UT bound and that Frankin's ego took over and he sent put a reactionary tweet...

LOL that Franklin even thought Vohn-duh-bilt was on Hurd's radar. Can't wait for UT to spank them in the fall. As I said on Twitter, you can't spell "Commodores" without "commode."

I don't think he's ever claimed to be smart, only a smart @$$.

Hurd's commitment to UT will go down as the beginning of the end for Franklin at Vandy.

Franklin is such a jerk. This is a great example. He tries to hide it but it comes out periodically. I hope the regular pounding of Vandy is to return this year! Go Vols! I actually rooted for Vandy in the SEC tourney because I would rather see them win then someone else, but it is hard to root for their football team at all when Franklin is such a weenie. Not that Dooley's video post from 2 years ago was not exactly tasteful or classy either, although it was never meant to be public and was a locker room type thing.

Things keep change for Ole James just lost his 13 QB from Califoria:
@BFeldmanCBS: RT @latsondheimer: Class of 2013 QB Chad Kanoff has decided to attend Princeton instead of Vanderbilt.

Here is the story on it. I guess this kid disagrees with Franklin's claim of second to none in academics
