Re: Guess the Kickoff TIME-Auburn (ho co 11/4)
The centerpiece of reunions is Saturday night class dinners. They sell tickets to the football game and the dinner, and then the football game is designated for Saturday night per TV and you lose the money on the game or the dinner. Happens all the time.

Re: Mike Wright
I think he may be giving up an NFL career to play QB in college. He's not first to do that. A few have found a new position after college, but not most.

Re: Mike Wright
Personally, I think they should let Seals play more if nothing else to spur Swann to start looking at the field rather than locking on to one receiver. He should have been playing before it was 40-10. What are the chances that they will need him in a tight game at some point? High. What are the cha...

Re: Mike Wright
The big runs for Mike tended to come against the weakest opponents, and yesterday was no different.

Re: OT: An Adam Sparks piece that Vandymaniacs will love
As a jr. lawyer in New York, in 1986-87 I found myself working on Butcher bank related cases in Knoxville. My boss was a very New York guy with the accent. He was trying to learn how to ingratiate himself with folks in Knoxville. Riding a cab in from the airport in Knoxville, he chatted up the cabbi...

Re: Ten observations on Vandy’s 35-28 WIN over Hawaii
Go back and look at the onsides kick. The Hawaii player STEPPED OUT OF BOUMDS before falling on the ball. That alone should have made him ineligible to recover the fumble. The ref never said it was his elbow, only the announcer (who also never looked at the foot). I was wondering about that. Isn't ...

Re: waking up 1-0
As much as Wright saved the game, Hawaii certainly helped with a procedure penalty on first and goal from a foot immediately before the big play.

Re: I'm At A Loss
For every close but uncomfortable win like this (see Elon 23', UConn 21', N. Illinois 19', Charleston Southern 14') there are also worse gut-wrenching losses (ETSU 21', UNLV 19', Western Ky 15', Temple 14'). At this point, I'll take an ugly win with optimism that the team will improve. Given three ...

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread
Moving the schedule ever earlier makes season tix unviable. The chances of any of the first four games being ungodly hot or delayed is high.

Re: Whoomp! There it is... [PREMIUM, The Athletic]
The SEC and Big 10 already have mega TV leagues, and I don't see a lot of advantages for either in merging them into one. We've already looked at the politics and vote required to boot Vandy from the SEC, and after careful analysis, most everyone agreed it isn't going to happen. Big boys in the two ...

Re: Starkville: MSU may use Will Rogers, Mike Wright in same backfield
We had both Wright and Swann/Seals in at the same time on various occasions. Perhaps MSU will do it a little more. Seems like a good way for Wright to burn a year of eligibility through limited playing time. When Rodgers is gone, Wright will be a one year option, probably to be supplanted by a new k...

Re: Relive VU's epic 1996 home loss to Notre Dame here
As I recall, ND was down 7-6 with about 3 minutes left and went for it on 4th and 7. As I feared, although our D played a great game, they couldn't stop them on that one play. Game over.

Re: Clark Lea signs contract extension
So he already apparently was under contract for four more seasons, and now they are extending him three more. Is that really necessary? Did we learn anything from extending Derek Mason only to have things go South as soon as we did? Everyone is happy with him now, but this board will be on fire if w...

Re: The Athletic (premium): VU Chancellor Harvie Branscomb proposed a "Magnolia League" in 1962; it went nowhere
GA's program was in bad shape circa 1961, which explains that. There was no gigantic SEC check in 1962, so this made a lot more sense then than now. Too bad it didn't happen, really.
