Vandy

Likely destination

 

The problem withe the Cotton Bowl is the uninspiring opponent.

 

I thought I'd get the bad taste out of my mouth by watching my first NFL game of the season on Sunday. I settled in to watch my favorite team the 8-1 Vikings play the 6-3 Cowboys at home. The Cowboys had given about 500 yards rushing the previous 2 weeks and were realing. The Vikings were coming off a thrilling OT win over Buffaloe and had juiced crowd at home. The Cowboys proceeded to beat down Minnesota in a most humiliating fashion. I give up. I turned off the game early in the 3rd quarter. It happens, even with the pros.

 

For the last 15 years, I’ve been amazed at how far we’ve fallen as a national championship contender.

The longer this goes on though, I’m gradually becoming more amazed that we somehow went undefeated and won a national championship in the first place.

I know it can happen again…but I wonder…

 

I really don’t care if it’s a W tbh. I want 11 wins.

 

If ND beats USC, do they slide in and take the Orange?

 

It would still be the program’s first major bowl since 1999. I’ll take it.

 

Not sure a 3 loss team that doesn't play a conference championship will get a NY6 bowl. Especially when 2 of those loses came from Stanford and Marshall.

 

Not likely.

 

If their name is Notre Dame they sure will have a hell of a shot.

 

The fact that we are getting a shot at a NY6 bowl is still amazing. This is beyond anyone's expectations for this team before the season started.

 

No doubt but that is a tough sell.

 

off topic, but... it nerves me to no [uck fay]ing end that two teams we beat are now at #5 and #7.

I'll accept that we're at #10.
... but if that's true and accurate, then bama and lsu should be below that... after all, they both got beat by a team that got their shit pushed in by Sakerlina.

Anyway, back to cheering for UGA to lose.

 

They would have to jump us and Bama in rankings.

 

Bama will be in the Sugar pretty much no matter what happens in the SEC champ.

 

Losses in November count more. Coaches have talked about November being the most meaningful month for a long time.

 

Has the locker room rift been mended?

 

I remember Fulmer catching hell for always winning the November shit games, but losing to Florida in September.

I finally got the importance of the November shit games after the Coaching Trifecta of Dumbassery who proceeded Heuple.

Not gonna lie, the UsC one hurt. And just when I was getting the grandkids fully engaged, again.

Winning the Vandy game is important. Cafego must be honored. This is the way.

 

At least the venue is better now

 

I’ll take whatever is the easiest path to an 11th win.

…and part of me cringed just now, fearing that I’ve all but guaranteed a loss to Vanderbilt with that comment.
