I think she was trying to be nice.
Can't scamper or slither...but I used to swim.

As far as evaluating football teams I give her zero credibility. I've seen some improvement this season but no way would I grade the team a B- in offense. Maybe a C- at best.

Just to be clear, the grades were for the Tennessee game -- "the final performance" -- NOT the entire season.

Take in consideration the...
mess, chaos, and low level of VU football expertise when Coach Lea arrived! He came from one of the best programs in the country to one of the worst! What expectations did you really possess prior to the season's beginning? Thought he did a very good job considering. The garbage that he only had so many wins; Bear Bryant would have struggled in the current Vandy environment! Of course Bryant would not have come to such a disaster!

Oh, then B- maybe. Still, 21 points nowadays is below par for an average CFB team. The No. 65 team out of 130 teams averages over 28 points a game.FayetteDore wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 7:45 am Just to be clear, the grades were for the Tennessee game -- "the final performance" -- NOT the entire season.
