Ah. Since all of his other posts have been about Vandy and Tennessee… when I saw "they" I thought he had jumped back to referring to the "call" at the end of the game.

Thanks for the "clarification."

So "does" reacting in "a" snide manner "make" YOU "foolish?"

(Love the quotation marks.)

This is apples and oranges.

I don't really care what David Climer wrote in a family newspaper, but I was told Franklin said, "We'll be back, ______ ______"

And I have no idea what you're trying to say in your last line.

Speaking of late clips, that's a problem that goes back to last season, under Robbie Caldwell. It seems like Vandy normally got away with it last year; probably because the game was usually decided early. I'm still fuming over the dirty hit that ended Greg Child's year, which he still hasn't recovered from fully. Child's was Arkansas best receiver before the injury and has never been the same since then.

I have to disagree with John on Grantham. Taunting opposing college players is deserving of being called out on national TV. As Gary Pinkel made clear today, coaches are supposed to set examples and Grantham wasn't setting a good example. If Grantham didn't know better, then it was time that he did.

All this stuff shows how stupid fans and the media can be. When they start to pile on there is no whistle and no matter how false or inaccurate there is no flag.

They might have been late, they might have been questionable, but cheap shots? In every case the play had not been whistled dead and the blocker was trying to hit from the front. There is no lineman that "tried" to hurt anyone or take them from behind. The one that looks the worst was the Logan Stewart chop block that got all the attention but if you want to be objective then go back and look at the whole play and see that they were simply trying to take out the legs……from the front and every OL coach in the country teaches chop blocking. Did they look bad, yes at first glance but go back and take a good look in slow motion. All this bunk about Vanderbilt being dirty is hilarious and only shows the excuses people are making because Vanderbilt is getting better and their coach has finally said "We are also going to fight, I wanna make sure everybody understands that! We are not going to sit back and take stuff from anybody…..anybody……no one. Those days are long gone…..and they are never coming back! Ever"

All the SEC bulling is over for Vanderbilt. The only cheap shot here is the ones being taken at Vanderbilt.

I did see the play that was flagged and I thought it was dozens of yards behind the play. Hard to give a guy the benefit of the doubt as to whether or not he tried to get in front of his man. They were behind the play and the only reason to deliver the hit was just to… deliver the hit.

I also saw the tape from ESPN of Franklin storming past two Tennessee coaches who attempted to shake his hand.

I am impartial. That's why I defended Franklin in the Georgia situation… Grantham had a "prior history" for hot-headedness and Franklin didn't. Now this is two issues for Franklin. It caused a stir in the media after the game. So I discussed it here.

Not sure how much more impartial I could be. I could give a flip if Vandy or Tennessee wins or loses a game.

Did a Vandy assistant attempt to shake Dooley's hand? If so — and if he was caught on camera blowing past them — we'll write about it.
