Re: question about the on-sides kickoff

A player on the kicking team who is out of bounds on a kickoff can't be the first to touch the ball. If he does, it's an Illegal Touching penalty. On Saturday night, one of our players (can't recall who) attempted to field the kick and muffed it. At that point, the out of bounds UH player could (an...

Re: Ten observations on Vandy’s 35-28 WIN over Hawaii

Go back and look at the onsides kick. The Hawaii player STEPPED OUT OF BOUMDS before falling on the ball. That alone should have made him ineligible to recover the fumble. The ref never said it was his elbow, only the announcer (who also never looked at the foot). I was wondering about that. Isn't ...

Re: WAY OT: Memphis & Big 12 redux

With only 4 schools left in the PAC-12, Memphis could very well end up there.

Re: Ray Davis disses Nashville in KSR interview

If he had said that Lexington is all about UK and Nashville is about country music, he wouldn't be wrong, but football just gives Lexington a way to kill time until midnight madness.

Re: Hey, check out this Swann to Sheppard pass from practice

2 Thoughts:

1. it looks like there's a facemask call on the DB at the tail end of the play.
2. Was there any pass rush at all? I can't see any DL over center.

That's pretty much the case in higher ed, writ large. A student's institutional GPA is based solely on the work at that institution.

Re: NCAA should allow every football team to practice...

There’s also finals and end of the semester academic work that a lot of D1 players are playing catch up on. Also, not a fan of the possibility of injury in what would be a fairly meaningless practice session. Would we really want a young lineman who is expected to be a key contributor next season te...

Re: Officiating in Hawaii game

Can't do much about the possible HOLD, but as far as Wright's knee being down couldn't the Hawai'i coaches called timeout (allowing time for a review) or thrown a red flag? Watching it live, I thought the play was close and assumed it would be reviewed (just as I did with a crucial play in the West...

I wonder if 35 points in a quarter was a record for us?
According to vucommodores. com, we scored 35 against Austin Peay in 2013.

Re: 32 VU players named to SEC All-Academic team

Most of those majors didn't exist when I was at Vanderbilt. Then again, neither did "hot chicken" and "bro country." I graduated in the early/mid 90's and the only two that as far as I can tell weren't around then are Medicine, Health, & Society, as well as Learning, Diversi...
