They looked pretty sharp tonight IMHO. I actually thought they had kind of a "Notre Dame" feel with the simple jerseys, and TV numbers instead of the stripes (perhaps a CCL influence?). Will be interesting to see the road look in a couple weeks...

Congrats Wesley! HUGE accomplishment for anybody- but especially for someone in a Vanderbilt jersey.

Never will understand anyone leaving a school like Vanderbilt- but certainly wish Mike the very best. It's his journey- and not mine. Thank you for the incredible memories, and leadership! Always a "Commodore" in my book. Good luck with all!

Double Vandy Grad w/U Houston to boot, and back at Vandy making a difference. Oh yeah... something called the NFL too. Incredible. Congrats Doc!

UGA 31
LSU 20

Love to see Prime revive a 80s/90s power (e.g. FSU, MIA, OKL, etc.)- as college football was a bit better back then w/a few more contenders IMHO. I suppose COL fits that bill ('90 Co-Champs, Kordell/Westbrook, etc.). Good luck to him- and keep the AFLAC commercials coming! Lol.

Vandy (Law) Alum that used to love sneaking out of the law library to watch Jay Cutler sling it around in the mid 2000s. Huge fan ever since. Mostly, been a struggle obviously, aside from the xCJF-era (sorry, will always love that guy)- but there's just something I actually enjoy each fall about wat...

Positives: Another year in the CCL system. Another year of CCL recruits. Sam Hartman is leaving Wake- and no Alabama. Negatives: UGA, and Tenn powerhouses, and SC looking like they're getting back to prime Spurrier level. Agreed w/coachinwaiting that season will hinge on fast start- including again...

1,000 yard rusher in the SEC (especially out of Vandy) is no small feat. Heck of an accomplishment. Have such admiration for how Ray put his body on the line for his teammates so many times down the stretch too. Absorbed some hits in the Mizzou, and Kentucky games (to name a few) that would have sen...

No matter what- being a Vanderbilt alum (and/or being associated w/Vanderbilt) has been one of the great joys of my life- and why I'll keep coming back to these boards year-after-year. So gratifying to see these impressive young men establish a similiar connection with the football program, and the ...

The trajectory is in the right direction, perhaps even a touch ahead of schedule (i.e. from 0 Wins, to 2, to 5 w/2 SEC)- considering the full Program re-set. The progress from here only gets tougher though. Going to have to find way to beat 3-4 SEC teams a year that themselves fully expect to be Bow...

Young kids playing an emotional, physical game. About the one scenario they couldn't survive was Tenn jumping out to a big lead- and surely they were well aware. The missed FG to 21-0 the other way fairly soon after via Punt Return was season over- and emotions start taking over. Ultimately, the 202...

Surprised by that. When Auburn is firing on all cylinders-they've had an ability to be in the national championship discussion in ways that Ole Miss hasn't. My only guess is that Kiffin didn't want to rule himself out of being Saban's successor someday- though personally think he lacks the gravitas ...

Wright to start- with a couple "Swann plays" in our back pocket if we want/need them would be my guess...

Could not stand the grays- and gray is my favorite color.

Yep. Huge fan of the traditional Gold Helmet, Black Jersey, Gold Pants look- and would like to see us in it for the vast majority (80%+) of our home games.

That said, if ever there was a night for the all-black...

Love it. Lay all the expectation, and pressure to perform on their shoulders- especially with a back-up QB- and coming off a surprise, confidence crushing/playoff ending blowout loss.

That having been said, I think Vandy_Law has it right that they are in a position right now where 66-24 to 59-24 may make a difference in some polls and ultimately landing them in the playoffs. I can not imagine any selection committee voter would say, “Geez, UT only beat Missouri 59-24 instead of ...

Given the road SEC component- I'll go with @UGA in 2016 as well. Frankly, surreal now to think we actually beat Kirby Smart on his own field (admittedly Year 1 for him).

Are we talking about the same chancellor who changed our logo to “put his own stamp” on the school. You can have him. Great win for Clark Lea and Mike Wright. Really fun stuff today!! Am i the only one who likes the new logo? Nope. I find it fresh, clean/modern, and the "V" connects all o...
