Nothing much to see here, folks are always promising to "out work" the top dog. Winning against the top dog(s) is more difficult than talking.

Well, Vandy does house the higher IQs.

[Homer J]

I call him Nicky Satan all the time.

Franklin apologized:

.. and I take your "say-so" over any 'Vanderbiltian' who spouts off....
... your IQ too.

I personaly like Franklin, and he is right about Saban, but I must admit that Saban is the best in college football coaching ranks. He manager to turn meyer into a whimpering child much to our dismay.

Did you mean to say Roosevelt Franklin?

It was just a joke on Franklin's part. There was no need to apologize.

But having said that, Vanderbilt is biggest bunch of hypocrites in the SEC. That statement has nothing to do with what James Franklin said. But the more you learn about Vanderbilt the less impressed you are with them -- I am talking about the University.

Spurrier used to joke when he beat coaches who outworked him.

Any specifics, Joe? I always thought Vandy was solid.

Yeah, I can give you specifics.

Let's start here. Vanderbilt backs out of 2013 home football opener with Ohio State and sends a friggin' form letter. No phone call. Just a form letter.

That's one thing. I can go on.

When Vanderbilt sells itself out, it sells out for serious money.

Pretty sure he asked about the school not the football team
