Maybe people's answers would stay the same, but what if the kids wanted to go with Franklin to Penn State? Maybe some would argue that he should have told them no. That's not a completely unreasonable take, but its fairly impractical and it usually doesn't work that way. My guess is that a lot of th...

Okay, I'll weigh in, by repeating UT pitcher Camden Sewell: "We fell short. But if you want to end your season, this is the place you want to end it." If he deigned to think about it at all, he might have added: "Not in some regional game, against Xavier!" :cool: Thank you Fayet...

I don't see any need in kicking a man while he is down. It didn't work out for him at Vanderbilt, but I wish him nothing but the best unless he is playing Vanderbilt. He probably won't be invited back to LSU next year, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if someone took a flyer on him late in the d...

None that i know of.
P.S. It's interesting to see the twists & turns these threads take.

I think it's probably just because there are relatively few returning QBs this year who saw significant playing time last season.

Pruitt said he thought about racial inequity and the high-profile killings of Black people when he gave a player’s mother $300 in a Chick-fil-A bag. Pruitt said a player’s mother showed up in the parking lot outside the UT football complex in tears because of financial hardship. She told him she ha...

Good question Go, but it varies with the movie. For example, I liked Coppola's secret, never-released version that had Duvall playing Sweet Caroline while approaching the village instead of Ride of the Valkyries , and rather than napalming it, winning the hearts and minds of the villagers by teachi...

i found the website of the construction company, Barton Malow, who are overseeing the Vandy United project. they have a very informative page with links that detail the progress of the project thus far. main page: https://www.bartonmalow.com/projects/vanderbilt-master-athletics-plan/ 360 drone cam +...

Maybe they have a shot at the Recruiting National Championship? It's about as close as they will get to a championship in any sport other than Life. There's always the "Best College Football Program in America" to fall back on. Oh Fayettevile, you just make me laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

Fall camp opened Wednesday morning outdoors under cloudy skies and very humid conditions. Players were in helmets and shoulder pads only. One change from past years that I noticed is that the QBs were wearing gold practice jerseys instead of the usual red. Andrew Allegretta reports after the post-pr...

I read the forum rules and maybe I'm just dumb but this seems to be allowed. I'm stationed overseas in Germany. Walking through the BX I saw a military challenge coin that has the Vanderbilt logo on it. I bought it and am looking for a way to get it to Coach Lea. Any help in this would be greatly ap...

Chancellor Diermeir personally hired Tommy. I wish Rice would have gone after Candice Lee instead. Do you think Candice will ever be an AD At another University? Wow, That statement is quite harsh. My understanding is that you are saying you wish that Candice Lee were gone. I completely disagree. I...

I can't think of one thing she's done that's even been questionable.

Here's a radio interview the Honolulu station did with Rainbows coach Timmy Chang at Mountain West Media Days, if anyone's interested...

Might as well just go ahead and spin athletics off. The disconnect with the mission of universities is only increasing. Not saying that student athletes shouldn't share in the proceeds they generate (which we discuss ad infinitum) but NIL and the portal have already made star athletes in the big 3 ...

I'm gonna chalk the second part of this post up to a few too many Friday night whiskeys.

Three leagues with 20 teams each is going to leave some current Power 5 teams out, and I think that is a reality and we could ultimately be at risk. There are currently 69 Power 5 teams. I've always thought that four conferences of 16 teams makes sense. Oddly enough I always thought it would be the...

FSU wanting an unbalanced share of conference revenue surely makes them less attractive, right? Right? I don't know all the details, but some of this is likely negotiable. In football, I feel like the ACC has Florida State, Clemson, maybe Miami and largely a bunch of crap. Correspondingly, I don't ...

Seth Emerson covers the SEC, and especially conference realignment stories, for the Athletic. Someone asked him... "With all this realignment, at what point do the “haves” in the B1G and SEC decide to replace the “have-nots” in their respective conferences? For example, wouldn’t it be much more...
