I saw the following on a Vandy message board. Anybody who can upset those people so easily would seem to have a high concetration of Orange blood.
-----------------
"One of the sports radio shows in Nashville -- I think it was 94.9-FM, maybe the Jared Stillman show, IIRC -- had Donnie Tyndall as a "college basketball expert" on once a week during the college basketball season. Most of the things Tyndall said were obvious things that anyone with any knowledge in basketball could figure out. Most of the time he was a big-time Tennessee homer. He hardly ever talked about Vanderbilt unless the hosts directly asked him about Vanderbilt, then he would say basic things and move on to something else. After Vanderbilt beat Kentucky, he focused most of his so-called "expert" comments on Tennessee's slump that they were in at the time (they had lost 3 or 4 in a row, IIRC). The host asked him about Vanderbilt's win over Kentucky and he said something simply obvious about the win (like "they really played strong defense down the stretch on Polythess") then he segued that to talk about UT's beating Kentucky a couple of weeks earlier. The guy was a complete buffoon on the radio. I hope they weren't paying him for that because he really didn't say anything insightful or obvious that anyone watching the games with half a brain could easily have figured out."
