Seth Emerson covers the SEC, and especially conference realignment stories, for the Athletic. Someone asked him... "With all this realignment, at what point do the “haves” in the B1G and SEC decide to replace the “have-nots” in their respective conferences? For example, wouldn’t it be much more...

Outkick takes notice... Even if he is right, for Davis to say that Kentucky is more about football than Vanderbilt is rather funny after Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt last year. Perhaps the Wildcats should focus more on Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan if they want to win? (Ray Davis) THROWS SHADE AT COMMO...

I hear they're putting one in later today... here's what it looks like...

Gentry Estes writes... Given Sunday's mismatch in available first-string talent and experience, Vanderbilt’s offense should have dominated the preseason's first scrimmage. But then it actually went out and did it. That’s progress, right? I can think of plenty of Vanderbilt offenses in the past that ...

Tennessean: 3 things Clark Lea wants to see in Commodores' first scrimmage
(by Julian Basena)

It's also the last season for the SEC East. Vanderbilt has never won it in the 31 seasons it has been in existence, and this will be its final opportunity. (Kentucky hasn't either.)

Could I have a side of gumbo with that, please?

The last two years I've enjoyed watching the private schools in Tennessee in Division II-AA, as Vandy has reaped a number of recruits from LIpscomb Academy and CPA. CPA had been a powerhouse for several years under Ingle Martin, but the last two years has seen Lipscomb Academy become almost unbeatab...

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle has a story about Devin Boddie, Jr. on why he entered the portal after graduating and wound up at Wyoming of the Mountain West. The bottom line in my opinion is that he was recruited over, with Quincy Skinner and Jayden McGowan largely taking his spot last year. And with Ju...

Chattanooga T-FP: Baylor, McCallie look to stay atop brutal Division II-AAA region
(by Stephen Hargis)

National magnolia league time.... Vandy, Duke, Wake, Northwestern, Cal, Stanford, BC. UNC and UVA feel a little different but they'd make more sense than not for a number of reasons. Then convince Notre Dame to join as the conference would be good enough that the champion would likely be part of th...

Ahem, I fear he may find out... Lexington is about another sport that uses a ball.

Aside: The Times-Free Press on Sunday will publish its Dandy Baker's Dozen of players from the Chattanooga area... and based on some inside intel, both of Vandy's QB commits (Jeremy St-Hilaire of McCallie and Whit Muschamp of Baylor) will be on there. Vandy has not been ultra-successful this year wi...
