Tennessee Fans To 'Checker Vandy' After Rivalry Tweet Sparks Angst
Tennessee fans are planning to buy up every seat at Vanderbilt's football stadium and 'Checker Out' the road rivalry game. SAVAGE.
They'll win easily, but I can't imagine a more deflated fan base right now. Now they are in the same boat as most teams in college football, just playing for a better bowl.
Text him with it with the following word........ "Pretenders." - "You're basically Vandy 2.0 with more fans."
Ha, I should!
I don't see any chance for Vandy, but it WOULD be pretty epic if UT's dream season ended with them 5-3, just a game better than us in conference play.
UT is down their starting QB.
Game is at Vandy.
Vandy is actually playing for something, looking at bowl eligibility for the first time since 2018.
Since going 8-0, ascending to #1, being a presumed CFP lock and having a Heisman frontrunner at QB, they have lost it all in the last 3 games, going 1-2, being eliminated from CFP contention and losing their Heisman hopeful QB.
All that to say, if you're in UT's position, you're playing on the road, in place that's just kind of a dud environment, you don't really have anything to play for at this point other than bowl position. Everything you've been playing for since about mid-September is gone. How will they respond emotionally?
They should still handle Vandy easily, but Vandy will certainly be the more motivated team.
I thought, overall, they weren't quite as funny this season as they have been in the past. Still always humorous though and some are still very funny. I think the UGA/Hope story line has run its course though. It was funnier when it looked like UGA might not ever get over the cusp, but they have in a big way.
Have to admit the last one brought a tear to my eye. Appropriate ending.
