I read that story and it is like, the Nazis have tanks, the air force, trained soldiers, modern weapons. Poland has an unruly army, horses, sabres, pre-WWI weapons. Prediction: Poland.

LOL. I don't see a Vandy win either. Leach will pick us apart and make our regular defense look like a prevent defense.

Mississippi State beat us 24-17 last year. It was their only win between September and December.

He says it would be an upset.

I'm with him. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon cheering loud and proud for an upset. I hope many of you are too.

The Poland/Germany comparison was classic - not sure it's a particularly flattering comparison but it gets the point across nevertheless. I think the upset of Japan over Korea with a handful of wrecked ship's in the 1590's (Imjin Wars) is what Athlon must have been thinking. :D

No, clearly he meant The Battle of Agincourt of 1415 where the English upset the French thanks to the innovative use of the longbow. Did the writer mention what our secret weapon might be?

No secret weapon just superior stategery. Clark Lea our modern day Hannibal will suck in the Bulldogs as Hannibal did the Romans at Cannae. When they go up a quick 14 points the trap will be set!!!

To the OP article: HA!

To your point: Is it safe to say VU was better last year than this year? Because this year is an absolute embarrassment of epic proportions. The wins the team did secure were lackluster at best.
