I might need to be a Vandy fan...

Kaelen DeBoer is NOT Nick Saban.

And I'll say this- I think NIL and portal may have actually leveled the playing field in the SEC to a degree.

How many times during the Dan Mullen era did we have a pretty good team but we had like one unit that was really really bad and the Alabama's and LSU's would just target that position group and kill it? If we had the portal and NIL we could have filled those gaps better.

Jerry Kill was Vandy's biggest pick up.

I can not wait to see the next Bama redneck in his 25yr old beat up pickup truck with one of those huge Bama “A” stickers across the back windshield. You all know you have seen at least one of what I described.

Congratulations Vandy! I am jealous.

It?s annoying our fans act like NIL is going to kill state. It?s going to kill small programs. Were going to lose some to even bigger fish, but mostly were going to be the one doing the poaching and be fine if we play the game and stop acting like losers. Thank god for Charlie and Selmon

I live in AL I know exactly what you mean. I have a photo I took in Jasper, AL traveling for work. I was at a red light behind 2 obvious Bama fans trying to out Bama each other with all the stickers on their trucks.

I saw a couple of cars driving around last week with 4 Bama flags flying. I'll bet they just ran out and took them off.

My girlfriend is from Jasper. They’re different about Bama in that little town.

Tim Beck their OC was a great hire, from UNLV and brought that dude at QB

Clark is a Vandy Graduate. The Bama wins gives him stability for more years now.

Yeah and the we ain't got the talent BS. Talent is only maybe 1/3 of the formula. NIL helps with that but if you spend NIL on the wrong players, it don't matter.

Anyone think Vandy has more talent or NIL than Bama?

MSU can compete and we will after NIL and portal once we get the right players and coaches. Yep talent, coaching, and attitude (culture) are the winning formula. NIL can actually hurt attitude and culture if it is not managed right.

You still have to have a good core of high school players that have come up in the program to succeed IMO. I don't think anyone is going to portal and NIL a National Championship where more the majority of the players came from other programs.

[Offshore Dawg]

Vandy deserves a win like this.

Somebody check on Tusk.

Tusk will be back when he has something to gloat about. Unless his stil blew up, or someone trashed his meth lab.

[Pancho]

He's already camped out behind Deboers house

If we could tackle someone that would help

Sheeeeeeit.... Bidness is a boomin' in north Pickens Co!!!!

[Turfdawg67]

Any SEC team can beat another SEC team on any given day... except MSU. Sad.

This is true. Over the years I've always felt we could beat anyone except Bama. Whenever that game rolled around it always felt like an automatic loss no matter how well we were playing. Even in 2014 I wasn't optimistic about that game.

level playing field is exactly the reason saban quit. like nfl the best coaches succeed. we could have taken some of those bama teams to a NC

[parabrave]

They're closing in on doing something we haven't been able to do since Croom. They look so good this year even in their losses. If Vandy can improve like this why can't we?

Well of you can be am obnoxious whistler than you quality. Screw them and that crappy basketball court and their crappy fans.
