Do you cringe a bit when you see Vandy roll back in our rotation. It's not a fear of an upset...it's just they have this eerie ability of playing a close game with us.

The ONLY difference I see is we are catching them in the second half of the season.

I think the reason we played them close the last few times had something to do with the Shula years

The last time we lost to Vandy was 1984.

Here's the all time records.

not sure why i thought we had lost to them since 1984, must have been a bad dream

I always hated playing Vandy early. Early in the season, they were healthy and had that chip on their shoulder with something to prove. We always get their best shot anyways, but I hated the early season matchup.

My birthday! This is one of the 3 games i have circled on the calender for this season.
I expect i'll get lucky on this one like i did with the Fla. Game and get tickets from TP.
I can only hope. lol
