If this were to go the 1-7 route, would ours be ut, or would Alabama scrap the Auburn game and make them their permanent rival. I can see it happening. I At any rate, I don't particularly like the 9 game schedule, but think it will pass with the no power five option. I'm guessing that the permanent...

Dean's list student from southern Arkansas. 6-3 205 lb. guard. Only played in 21 games for 80 minutes this season and scored only 15 points.

Well, I didn't expect that. I'm at a loss. Couldn't he start on the MBA at Vandy? None of it makes sense to me. Unfortunately, not without work experience. Auric…I’m guessing you are referring to acceptance to Owens requires work experience. Garraud, a transfer for our women’s team, received her ma...

He's been Vanderbilt Athletics' chief storyteller the last three and a half years. He's going to Atlanta to work on the Georgia Tech beat. He'll be missed.

He was a true freshman this year for the Irish, played in 28 games and averaged 17 minutes a game. Averaged 6.2 ppg on 58% shooting, and a relatively robust (for minutes played) 4.4 rebs. He's 6-8, 226 lbs and is from Orlando. Had a ton of offers coming out of high school. And, he did not invent the...

If so, this is really good news.

Not official yet, but the tea leaves all point to it.
