Anybody but Florida, which at this point means LSU.

Re: The color guy last night

Read the above linked articles with interest; thanks for posting. Larry Munson’s time at Vanderbilt predated mine, so I’m in no position to compare him to Paul Eels. However, rankings that would place John Ward ahead of Eels are suspect (at best) in my view. I had the same debate with my UT-loving c...

Re: The color guy last night

Holy Smokes, what a ball game! We’ve had good broadcasters in my 50-plus years of fandom, better in fact than most announcers for other (and often more prominent) athletic programs which I’ve been obliged to tune in on occasion, but Paul Eels was the one you felt like you knew and loved, at least sp...

Re: Vandy-South Carolina game 2 thread

Most satisfying win I’ve watched all year. When someone has a clear and definitive understanding of the bizarre double play in the 6th, please explain.

Re: OT: Kentucky @ LSU

We used to do that in IM tennis and ping pong more than 50 years ago—definitely not a new idea. Was referred to as “stacking” as I recall.

Re: Vanderbilt Education

The idea that a C average at a highly prestigious institution of higher learning trumps an A average at a more ordinary college or university has consoled many a mediocre undergraduate at elite schools—right up until senior year, when the rejection letters from med, law, and grad programs begin to a...

Re: Pop..

Stack blamed it on the margin of the loss to Alabama in an interview with ESPN. Said it’s hard to get a bid with a loss of that degree.

Obviously once you schedule winnable games, you need to win them.

Amen. Would be otherwise if the conference schedule weren’t so challenging, but of course it is and always will be.

Re: Vanderbilt-LSU SECT Thread

I watched the UVA-UNC game tonight. Who knows what the committee will do, but the talking heads who called the game (Jay Bilas and somebody) were giving UNC no chance to dance whatsoever unless they could win tonight and “probably” tomorrow as well. Apparently the only “quality” win of the year amon...

Re: Ranking of Vandy wins

Not the biggest game, but one of the most unlikely and exciting wins ever (in those respects very similar to the win Wednesday): the victory over Wichita State in the 2005 NIT, a buzzer beater by Corey Smith off of a miraculous full-court pass. Someone mentioned it early in the thread, but it’s most...

Re: Why is CCL listed as #20 on coaches hot seat list?

JMU not only has had a football team but a very good one over the years at the Division I-AA level. They have won two I-AA/FCS national championships in football since 2000.
