Everything is tougher in the S.E.C.

10 of their fans are louder then 10k from the ACC.
The atmosphere at Vandy is insane. The moment I saw "SEC" painted on the turf I was like "Whoa, this is gonna be crazy. Where are my earplugs"?
Personally, I'm in favor of making all schools not playing in the SEC Div II.

The rest of the time I was wondering why the crowd wasn't into the game.

Not really a valid comparison

I walked into Vandy's stadium a couple of summers ago while in Nashville. It's definitely a small stadium but it's at least a FOOTBALL stadium, not a track that just happens to have a football field in the middle of it like Duke's. It's a nice facility and you can tell they put some effort into it. I'd compare it more to Boston College than Duke.

I've never been to Vandy, but have visited Duke. The stadium sizes do compare if you check.

Stadium size, sure. That's not what I was talking about though. Stadium atmosphere, Vandy beats Duke hands-down. Like I said, it actually feels like a football stadium and not an afterthought.

nerds in the stands. If that isn't hostile, then I don't know what is.

You are really reaching when you use that as an excuse.

About 10:15 last night after they barely escaped that most intimidating environment!

I'm guessing when they lowered the academic standards

for entrance into Vandy? LOL! If I was a Vandy alumn I don't know whether I'd be happy or PO'd about my fball program getting stronger while the overall academic side side of my alma-mater suffers. They're not really looked at as an athletic institution in my eyes but I guess you can't have it both ways. I love us to do well in fball but I think it's because we've tasted success before....and I'm pretty sure CU isn't getting easier to get accepted to.
SPOT THE DERN BALL!

Maybe it's just that they are SEC loud, thus 35k sounds like 80k anywhere else.
