jrh31584 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Their last winning season was 1982, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 jrh got question 1 right...now if somebody can get question 2, we'll be all set.Question 3, i'll confess, is a trick question. Â While the Dores originally wore orange and black, they dropped orange for gold midway through the football team's first season in 1890 and Vandy has worn black and gold ever since...trouble is, in the 30's, the few surviving members of that first team were asked why the change was made, and not one could remember. Â so the answer: nobody knows, and those who did are dead. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusebazell Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Here's another one when was the last time Vandy won the SEC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 you don't even need hands to answer this question...NEVER!!! Â They been in the SEC since 1933 but have somehow failed to win that conference's title...matter of fact, the last time they won a conference title the Dores were still in SoCon!(1923) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
