Re: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU

I’m wondering if it’s only going to be football, baseball and basketball maybe softball. Stanford and I believe Cal fields a bunch of teams that the Both Coasts Conference doesn’t.

Re: Impressions from a night of channel-flipping

Has anyone else noticed one of the common threads that I’ve been seeing in games so far is weak offensive line performance, wake, Florida, etc. I would guess it is the evolution of offensive and defensive philosophies and possibly rules changes rather than talent.

Re: Some thoughts, predictions about the season ahead

The optimist in me says Vanderbilt starts the season with a 6-0 record, the pessimist in me says the record will be 3-3 to start.

Re: Links to stadium construction livestream cameras

FWIW, AD Lee was on the Doug Mathews radio show this morning, I don’t know if a podcast is available but she had a lot to say about the stadium construction, NIL, transfer portal etc. They will be bringing in a portable video screen for this year and the capacity after the renovations will be in the...

2023 season - The major college football swan song of …

Regional conferences and the last remnants of the amateur student athlete in football and probably basketball. I, for one, will soak up as many CFB games that I can this season. Change is going to happen so might as well enjoy what we have now and wait and see what comes next. @AD

Re: WAY OT: Memphis & Big 12 redux

With the PAC 12 ceasing to exist I wonder how those bowl games tied to that conference adapt? Of course the Rose Bowl will be fine but the pac also had tie-ins with a bunch of lower tier bowls.

Re: WAY OT: Memphis & Big 12 redux

I would surmise that Washington and Oregon to the Big 10 is a done deal. Stanford and Cal not so much for now. Personally I don’t want Free Shoes in the SEC because Bowden was too much of a coward when they were invited in 92.

Re: Vandy gets 8 votes to win the East, and 5 to win the SEC

I find it hilarious that Finebum is complaining about other media personalities seriousness since he made his career in trolling semi-literate fans from Alabama, Mississippi. Etc.

Re: I think this is a first

“We're gonna have to start going to some bowl games before a bunch of 4-star talent will want to jump on board. It's silly to expect anything more at this point.” Exactly Buffy, it’s amazing what even a small bowl game will do for recruiting. As I’ve said before I think this year is critical to get ...

Re: Mountain West Football: First Look At The Vanderbilt Commodores

“That's a pretty good pre-season write-up.”

It’s interesting when someone actually does some research rather than regurgitating the sos we always get to experience from the so called sports journalists we have around here.

Re: Commitment (2024): Joseph McVay 6-1 180 WR Earle, Ark.

Brent do you have an estimate on how many scholarships are available for 2024? It’s my understanding that the Covid exceptions are ending soon and it looks like we still have a ton of promising prospects according to some of the free portions of recruiting sites. Thanks.

Re: Thoughts on recruiting

IMO, on the recruiting front, it is crucial that we make a bowl game this year, I don’t know that we have to win it but I think we really need to make one to keep the recruiting momentum going.

Re: Podcast: James Franklin talks about leaving VU & the commitment level

Fayette I know you are Vanderbilt and UT fan which has no bearing on my statement but until franklin has publicly stated that he was wrong (or regretted) on poaching the players that Vanderbilt funded the recruitment process I have no empathy for and will not listen to his BS.

Re: KICKOFF TIMES SET for first four games of 2023

Maybe it's just me, or unjustified optimism, but does anyone agree that this schedule looks somewhat positive? Playing all 4 OOC games up front, and being 6 games in before having to visit a stadium as hostile as Gainesville, followed by hosting Georgia, seems like a good opportunity for Coach Lea ...

Re: An unlikely rival for Vanderbilt in recruiting: Wisconsin

I don’t know about the kid from PA, but the one from Brentwood Academy might be in the transfer portal after experiencing a year of the frozen tundra.
