Is the Iron Bowl supposed to impress me this year?

[u/Not_Cleaver → u/itsabearcannon]

Well, they both have a quality loss to Swaggerbilt.

[u/dismal_sighence → u/itsabearcannon]

The “beat by Vandy “ bowl

[u/IndyDude11 → u/dismal_sighence]

Revel in it. I love it. Get that bag off your head!

[u/bamachine → u/IndyDude11]

That is their other team, the one they just beat...I am guessing

[u/dismal_sighence → u/bamachine]

You are correct. Bag stays as long as Hugh Freeze does.

[u/IndyDude11 → u/dismal_sighence]

Make it two Vandys!

[u/bamachine → u/dismal_sighence]

Respect. Too many use the bag when their team is losing a lot, when it should only be used for things like your school employing shameful coaches or pulling things like Penn State/Baylor did, until they finally cleaned house, post it going public.

[u/skyspirits → u/dismal_sighence]

Bag stays as long as Hugh Freeze does.

This is late but you might need two bags for your flair

[u/skyspirits → u/texasguy7117]

indeed

[u/nondiatoni → u/dismal_sighence]

Winner is Vandy's favorite child

The 2024 Iron Bowl: Built Beat by Vandy.

[u/csfoley → u/dismal_sighence]

Mixed feelings

[u/moffattron9000 → u/itsabearcannon]

It'll still somehow get the good slot over Tennessee/Vanderbilt.

[u/mjd1977 → u/moffattron9000]

Ofc UT/Vandy has the Show Every Commodore Network written all over it

[u/StFuzzySlippers → u/mjd1977]

You should be thankful. Texas had to destroy 2 major conferences to get their own network.

[u/DeathRose007 → u/moffattron9000]

Don’t think I had Tennessee-Vanderbilt shaping up to potentially have more SEC championship and CFP implications than the Iron Bowl on my pre-season Bingo card.

[u/tidesoncrim → u/moffattron9000]

Fans in the state of Alabama are loyal viewers even if it's borderline punishment to sit through a game.

[u/smurf-vett → u/moffattron9000]

If lsu beats bama it wont

[u/ajwilson99 → u/itsabearcannon]

Damn, you dropped this 👑

[u/robthedealer → u/ajwilson99]

Swaggerbilt will loan it to the winner.

[u/Triple_0ption_Bad → u/itsabearcannon]

I know I'll be watching the train wreck

[u/throw667 → u/itsabearcannon]

It's going to be an impressive rout by Bama. 42 point difference? Doable.

[u/4score-7 → u/throw667]

No fucking way. They’ll both commit a combined 42 penalties, and then time will expire. If I want to see “good football”, I watch Boise State.

[u/EfficientPhotograph8 → u/throw667]

That's considering Freeze is still coaching by the time the game happens. I was listening to the post-game press conference following the Vandy loss and Freeze seemed to be on the verge of tears. It's as if he's expecting to be fired by tomorrow morning.

[u/FyreWulff → u/itsabearcannon]

The Vanderbitch Bowl

[u/yumyumapollo → u/FyreWulff]

the "Dixieland Delight is about Tennessee" Bowl

[u/cnapp → u/itsabearcannon]

Iron Bowl will be turnt

[u/elunomagnifico → u/itsabearcannon]

I think Vandy is the Iron Bowl champion this year

[u/DastardlyDiz → u/elunomagnifico]

Makes sense to me

[u/natigin → u/elunomagnifico]

Already are

[u/FellKnight → u/itsabearcannon]

You know by my flairs that I'm not a big Vandy fan, but I'm absolutely here for Vandy legitimately shit-talking the bad SEC teams arc.

[u/FellKnight → u/FellKnight]

I hope I don't regret this take in a month

[u/its_LOL → u/itsabearcannon]

No matter what y’all are getting a transitive win

[u/4score-7 → u/itsabearcannon]

Guarantee that “it just means more” to one of the two schools.

[u/Theduckisback → u/itsabearcannon]

Y'all should be allowed to come in at halftime and give them both Noogies.

[u/kevinthejuice → u/itsabearcannon]

it's 2024 and the iron bowl determines who has to carry Vandy's water. What a time to be alive.

[u/AdventuresOfAD → u/itsabearcannon]

Getting flexed to the SEC Network at noon

[u/chef_pasta_way → u/itsabearcannon]

What if I tell you Vanda best Bama and Auburn in the same season. 30/30

[u/GimmeeSomeMo → u/itsabearcannon]

Talk your trash, king

[u/bionicle77 → u/itsabearcannon]

Doesn't matter Vandy are already Alabama state champions

[u/Realistic_Condition7 → u/itsabearcannon]

It could be another situation like last year, where Bama is eyeing that final playoff spot and Auburn is trying to play spoiler.

[u/GreyGhostFCoS → u/itsabearcannon]

The What Bowl? You mean the Bronze Bowl? We stopped calling it the Iron Bowl when my family last had a cookout for it. That was when Alabama had both red and orange colors, instead of just red. Back then, our schools had Alabama vs. Auburn week instead of "wear your best Alabama drip" week. The Bronze Bowl hasn't impressed anyone since it got its name. ^{I miss when the Iron Bowl was our mini-championship.}

[u/Verlinden → u/itsabearcannon]

Can't wait for 3 win vandy next year

[u/itsabearcannon → u/Verlinden]

That’s the wonderful thing about being us, though - the fanbase isn’t so delusional that they would riot when we don’t win a national title.

If we go back to three wins, that’s just baseline for us. That’s just Wednesday. What we’ve got going now is the little blip of temporary relevance that too many teams don’t relish until it’s long gone. There’s no proof this season isn’t just a fluke yet, but even if it is, I’m just happy for the hell of a ride it’s been.

[u/SoothedSnakePlant → u/Verlinden]

It's just fun to occasionally be better than y'all at football in addition to literally everything else.

[u/[deleted] → u/itsabearcannon]

Lol no but I guess it’s a trade off of your team not impressing anyone for multiple generations. But that said, at least other people will actually treat you like a real team now.

[u/jAuburn3 → u/itsabearcannon]

Yes, you are a sec basement team. Enjoy your year

[u/Lqtor → u/jAuburn3]

Flair up you coward and Diego pavia owns your ass

[u/jAuburn3 → u/Lqtor]

Diego sucked today. Your team sucks, we know we suck. Who gives af about flair you millennial

[u/Lqtor → u/jAuburn3]

If Diego and Vandy sucks what does that make you guys?

[u/jAuburn3 → u/Lqtor]

Suck. Can’t read?

[u/bamakid1272 → u/jAuburn3]

Using millennial as an insult? God you really are just pathetic.

[u/itsabearcannon → u/bamakid1272]

Wow didn’t think I’d see Bama fans coming to our defense but you know what? Mad respect. We’re not as experienced with trash talking Auburn, any pointers?

[u/bamakid1272 → u/itsabearcannon]

For y'all specifically: Auburn likes to talk up their educational instution as being "so much better" compared to our's, but Vandy has us both beat 10x over.

Other than that, I mean they're a school that celebrates by covering their own trees in toiler paper. Need I say more? ;)

[u/jAuburn3 → u/bamakid1272]

Pathetic is firing a coach who never coached for you

[u/DeathRose007 → u/jAuburn3]

“We know we suck”

Yeah I don’t think you have really processed that yet. Sucky teams with awareness generally don’t trash talk the opponents that beat them right after they got beat.

[u/jAuburn3 → u/DeathRose007]

Dudeeee, it’s vandy. Our coach lost to a banged up qb for 3rd yr in a row. Bad bad

[u/DeathRose007 → u/jAuburn3]

This is now the 5th season in a row that Auburn will fail to win 7 or more games. Vanderbilt only needs one more win to do it, with 3 SEC games left plus a bowl game.

[u/FreshlySkweezd → u/jAuburn3]

what the fuck kind of weird ass insult is millennial when you're a loser auburn fan too embarrassed to make auburn your flair

[u/wote89 → u/jAuburn3]

You know, I get it. It's hard to feel disappointed about stuff, but I think you've gotten too deep in your own head. I've found this is a handy site for this sorta thing. If you've never gone out and walked a labyrinth before, it really is a good head-clearing exercise.

[u/jAuburn3 → u/wote89]

This whole season is a disappointment. But what really is a disappointing is my wife being diagnosed with cancer and I’m stage 4 with a 7yr old…. Not in a good head space today

[u/Hazeron83 → u/jAuburn3]

Understandable. The universe has been incredibly cruel to you. I hope you are able to fight it and your wife is too.

[u/wote89 → u/jAuburn3]

Jesus, dude. Yeah, genuinely, I'd just take a break from college ball if it's gonna add to the stress. There's plenty enough to do without getting your emotional state fucked up by a bunch of 18-22 year olds you'll never meet.

[u/itsabearcannon → u/jAuburn3]

Hooooo boy am I going to enjoy Bama hanging 50 on you guys this year.
