As a Vanderbilt fan, there are exactly two types of brutal losses. There are the “well we may be Vanderbilt, but even we don’t expect to lose to that team” games, and those are your UNLVs, your Temples, any school with a direction in its name (yes, I’m counting you, Middle.)
And then there are the “our expectations for you were low but HOLY FUCK” games. Because while we don’t expect to beat the Alabamas and Floridas and Georgias of the world, we certainly don’t expect to lose to them by scores of 59-0 or 56-0 or, well, 62-0.
