Re: Clark Lea Q&A SEC Media Days transcript (main media room)

Q. You lose Ray Davis to the transfer portal. How much more pressure does that put on your quarterback AJ Swan to carry the offensive attack, and how do you replace the production that Davis gave you last season? CLARK LEA: Well, again, we appreciate everything Ray contributed to our program. He ran...

Re: Clark Lea Q&A SEC Media Days transcript (main media room)

CLARK LEA: Yes. Obviously when I accepted the job all these plans were in place, and so you can, from that moment, start talking about what this future is going to look like. I think the biggest statement that it makes is just support from the highest office on campus. I mean, Chancellor Diermeier h...

Officiating at last year's Vandy-UT game

In the presentation of SEC Supervisor of Officials John McDaid Tuesday, he showed a play from last year's VU-UT game. Vandy had the ball. A UT coach was standing near the line of scrimmage and clapped vigorously before the ball was snapped. It caused the VU center to snap the ball prematurely; predi...

Re: Clark Lea gets contract extension

What was his initial contract and how many years have been added this time? Does anyone know? The terms of all Vandy coaches' contracts are generally closely guarded secrets... although the Tennessean did report recently that Lea made about $3 million in 2021, his first year at Vandy, based on tax ...

A couple of Vandy commitments have tweeted out a composite photo of Vandy's #EarnItEvery24 recruiting class's commitments to date. It's interesting because it provides info about what position each recruit projects as... Presumably, this has been distributed privately to the recruits by VU's social ...

Re: Clark Lea signs contract extension

There are no details on how many years his contract has been extended, nor (of course) any financial details. But it does demonstrate a commitment by the administration to Lea and the football program, and hopefully, it protects against potential poaching programs who might want to come after Lea if...

Fulmer: "Vandy loss was hard to swallow... they had excellent QB who picked us apart."

In texts and documents obtained by Adam Sparks, it sounds like UT AD Phil Fulmer was a lot more worried about a loss to Vanderbilt than he was by any possible rule-breaking by Jeremy Pruitt. Was he looking the other way... or was he just truly clueless? We may never know. Either way, the story below...

Re: Podcast: VU long snapper Wesley Schelling on Main Street Preps

Interesting to watch the replay of Schelling's TD after hearing Schelling explain it... Gunner Gamarion Carter was the first guy to the ball and deserves a lot of credit for covering it up... but the ball slips between his legs as someone lands on him and he can't move. Schelling spies the ball lyin...

The Athletic (premium): VU Chancellor Harvie Branscomb proposed a "Magnolia League" in 1962; it went nowhere

Teaser paragraph: The Smart League? The Ivy League of the South? If it ever got to the naming change, that’s lost to history. But for a time, way back when, the idea of higher-end ACC and SEC schools breaking off, and potentially being joined by others, was discussed at the highest levels. It was th...
