Fans of conference newbie Missouri seem okay too but that could change if they ever get their basketball program going again. I remember an opposing hoops coach once said their fans were the nastiest in the country and none of them know who their mamas are. As for Vandy they don't have that many fans in football so that works in their favor but Memorial Gym has long been a feared destination for SEC basketball foes. After Rupp Arena, it's probably the toughest road trip in the conference. That tells me that there have to be plenty of obnoxious Vandy fans out there at least in hoops.

You echoed my position. If the football fans aren't obnoxious the basketball ones are. They have a Paris Hilton "famous for being famous" quality about their football programs. THey don't have all the substance to back up the rep they've garnered. They think being in the SEC makes them automatically great. "It just means more". "There is speed and there is SEC speed". The audacity to claim a program that can't even win their half of their division is worthy of being among 4 teams playing for the national title. It is nauseating. The arrogance. The entitlement. Ugh.
