Yes.

And it's now 18 days and has covered everything from the Memorial balconies to mid-century men's hair products to train derailments.

A certain rival's board had a thread called "The Thread That Won't End" that had been going for years. :lol:

PS: As much as I hate to admit it, I went through a Brylcreem phase in the 1960s.
And now back to Watson Brown... now that Stackhouse just won back to back SEC road games.

by comparison:

Number of SEC road wins TOTAL in FIVE YEARS for Watson Brown = 0
Number of road wins outside the SEC at VU total in five years for Brown = 1
(at Rutgers, 31-30)

In my best southern accent:
Gee whiz Charlie Mac, but I'm a real good guy and one of these days I'm gonna get a dadgum SEC road win, I just double-dog guarantee it's gonna happen one of these day, just watch.
I attended the 1988 Rutgers game while on vacation. That win helped Vanderbilt get off to a 3 and 3 start to the season, and to having won 6 out of 10 going back to the previous season. Alas, after beating Florida in the 6th game of 1988, Vanderbilt fell to 2 and 25 during the last half of Watson Brown's tenure.

I see what you did there!

Plus, i'm self-servingly and unapologetically bumping my own thread.

And i'm back to NUMBER ONE!!! (at least temporarily)

Watson was an outstanding OC. As a head coach, not so much. Much like Woody and the DC spot v head coach. Still, no better than he was as HC, he should keep his mouth shut.
