Very comparable reactions, except they're not fans...they're current players. If I was another coach, I'd use this against them in recruiting all day long.

Also, if I was James Franklin I'd make them all run until they puke.

Stay Classy Vandy.

You know, it is sad, and it shows an unreal level of arrogance. Ford just got offered by his dream school, and the Vandy players berate him about throwing away his future. The guy might have the chance to play for us, where we can offer a much greater level of resources, and a track record of putting guys in the league, or for Auburn, where he's always dreamed of playing.

He's free to make that choice, and should be able to do so without harassment from Vandy's players. Whoever he plays for, I hope he flatbacks some of them. I'm pulling for the kid now.

It really is just baffling to me how some Vandy fans and players are handling this dose of success. Just baffled. I'm not even upset about it - I don't think they are a threat to UT in the long run. I'm just blown away by how arrogant and just plain mean they are sometimes. There is a serious inferiority complex around that team. They had a great season, they deserve to be proud of their program, but my goodness, they're like a hungry stray dog that finally found a piece of steak and is about to jump anyone that gets near.

I completely agree that the attitude of the head coach has trickled down. Franklin has done a great job of getting his players to buy in to his system and play hard for each other, but at some point, this goes back to him. He can't control every tweet his players send, but when your players' hateful reactions start making news, if you don't send a message, you're encouraging it. I would never want him coaching my team.

Can't wait till we run all over their as*** in Knoxville this year! And I hope Johnathan Ford runs that one punk over. They have one good season in 100 years, 5 winning seasons all time, 5 bowls, 0 national Championships, 0 SEC championships, 0 SEC East titles, 0 all Americans, 573-578 all time record, 1 9 win season since 1915 and they act like they are amazing and say history doesn't matter. Laughing stock of the SEC. And a 24-79 overall record against UT. #anchordeez........ Ok my ranting is over.

I agree with every word. They are very much embarrassing themselves at this point.

When you've been at the top and the bottom of this league you quickly learn how to appreciate the good times, and it's very clear this is their first time seeing some success.

If they think they're immune to a heavy dose of reality and humility, they've got another thing coming. Everyone gets it in this league, and they're only making themselves a bigger target.

The bottom line is they don't know how to act because they've never been there before.

Haha, beautiful.

Brian Kimbrow y'all. This was sent to my friend. Wes and Swain had her back.
