Vanderbilt v. Wake Forest

VU is getting very little respect. This Saturday will be an opportunity to earn some (ideally by winning).

I want McGowan to succeed, but I hope there is only one Alabama A & M kickoff.

Alabama A & M Line

Vanderbilt is an 18.5-point favorite tomorrow against Alabama A & M. Let's hope VU can move to 1 and 1 against the spread this season.

Re: I'm At A Loss

We have, at least for this game , no rushing offense, a QB that can't escape the rush, an OL that had a hard time blocking anyone, and coaches that didn't seem to be very involved in the game. I do not understand the assertion that VU's coaches "didn't seem to be very involved in the game.&quo...

Re: Looks like new "flashable" lights have been installed for night games

Used astutely (eg., while the other team is fielding a kickoff or punt) those lights could be a 12th man.

Re: The battle for starting placekicker could get interesting

The title and this post reflects the true spirit of vanderbilt football. It should be pinned and locked. :?: Don’t understand. Is it because we usually don’t have all-conference offensive and defensive players that Vanderbilt fans are excited by Special Teamers? Sounds like this story from days gon...

Deliberately and repetitively antagonizing message board participants, even without "name-calling," should also be discouraged.

Re: Officiating at last year's Vandy-UT game

Maybe he'd like to talk about the atrocity at the end of the Florida game, too. Watched that game again yesterday. Got mad all over. Showed it to my wife who asked two questions: 1.

Re: Florida looking shellshocked early

“It isn’t their day.” Ump really screwing Florida pitcher. If I were rooting for Florida - I’d be very upset. After 2 innings, they are lucky to only be down 3-1. Not the way you want to start an elimination game. I think there should be more time between the first round of the CWS and the finals s...
