No doubt. The scary part is that just improving recruiting isn't enough to compete - they have to pull in literally Top 15-20 classes. 247 sports has Vandy's last class at 32 (which is really good by their standards) but unfortunately it's still 14/14 of the SEC teams. The SEC program classes ranke...

The Ole Miss defenders were holding onto our receivers and interfering with them through the game. One of Shepherd's big catches came after the Ole Miss defender was hanging onto him and all over him as he ran his route. Shepherd shoved him and then caught the ball. The TV commentators (Sorry, I was...

Their field goal kicker has hit five field goals in five attempts, including two over 50 yards. He missed an easy field goal in the loss to Auburn. And Missouri's defense has put pressure on Stetson Bennett all game and stuffed Georgia's running game for the first three quarters. Georgia finally did...

They’ll beat us by whatever score they want to beat us by. Usually Ole Miss blows us out because Kiffin is a jerk and I’m sure he will want to make it look good for the pollsters so they will get as high of a ranking as they can. Looking at their schedule I think Ole Miss could potentially be 10-1 t...

There’s no way we would be able to come back from a 20-point deficit against Alabama and Saban knows it. He just wants to run up the score to keep his team ranked number two in the nation. UT beat Top 25 Florida and is undefeated and will possibly be in the top five after today. It reminds me of the...

Some of the Titans fanbase is as arrogant as the UT fanbase. They expect to win every game every week. When people tried to tell them that after blowing the lead against the pathetic New York Giants and losing that game, they would probably get blown out against the Bills, the best team in the NFL r...

This is a joke. Typical UT, Fulmer-type penalty. WR Jimmy Calloway threw 4-5 punches at an Akron player who grabbed his facemask. Heuppel is suspending him for the first half vs. Florida. That's pathetic. It's like he's afraid he'll need Calloway to beat Florida so he's only suspending him for one h...

I hope he stays at Vanderbilt. In this day of transferring without having to sit out a year and bigger schools offering NIL money for good players, he’s the type of player some Top 25 schools might try to poach.

He’s really the best freshman quarterback I’ve seen at Vanderbilt since Jay Cutler.

Yes the refs were terrible and missed a blatant personal foul when Mike Wright was hit out of bounds. But we lost by 20 points. You can't really complain about the refs when you lose by 20 points. The Tennessee Titans, on the other hand, lost by one point Sunday and a missed call when Burks was inte...

1. Bama is still the best team in the SEC West but they struggled on offense in their game against Texas. 2. UT is terrible on defense. If Pitt's quarterback hadn't gotten injured Pitt would have beaten them. They blitz just about every down but that leaves receivers wide open. If the quarterback ca...

MTSU coach Stockstill isn’t on this list? They lost their opener 44-7 to James Madison University! They only had two first downs in the first half! I didn’t even know James Madison University had a football team! MTSU fans are not happy with Stockstill and I’m surprised he’s not on a “Hot Seats” lis...

CCL is a first-time head coach and he is learning, but I hope he gets better with time management. In our final drives when we were protecting the lead we passed it too much. Incomplete passes stopped the clock and gave Elon more time to have to come back. At one point late in the fourth quarter bef...

Which SEC game will be unexpectedly close and which game that we expect to be competitive in will be a blowout? It seems like every year we have those games. Last year the South Carolina game was unexpectedly close. South Carolina had blown us out every time we played them when Mason was our coach a...

Coaches I like and support when they're not playing Vanderbilt: 1. Saban. He's an old school coach. He preaches working hard. There's a great utube video of him going off on a tirade about kids today wasting time on video games and not putting forth effort doing things that are productive. He remind...

I really think that DiNardo had already checked out. He had already spoken to LSU's AD and knew he would be their next head coach. He didn't care what happened in that game. Just as I believe that Fogler checked out during the NCAA tournament when we lost in the Sweet 16 to Temple and played like cr...

Clark is channeling his inner Derek Mason - unimaginative offense, bad defense and dumb statements at SEC Media Days. It's like nothing has really changed except our uniforms have greatly improved. Lea hasn't shown me much so far other than he is recruiting slightly better than his predecessor. I h...

What do you expect him to say? “I expect that we’re probably not going to be very good this season and will likely go winless in the SEC again.” Of course he’s not going to say that. He’s going to show he has confidence in his players. There’s no way in the world of NIL and good players transferring...

On Jared Stillman's 102.5-FM afternoon show he spent an hour talking about the very real possibility that Nashville will get a MLB team in the next couple of years. The MLB commissioner is wanting to expand to 32 teams and has listed Nashville as a possibility for expansion. And Nashville has been l...

Meltdown as in not meeting expectations? That happens every single year without the NIL so I personally don't think this will worsen that. No doubt this changes the recruiting landscape and transfer portal but let's not blame everything on NIL like it is COVID or Y2K. Yes there are teams which don’...

I’m predicting that at least one of the major college football programs expected to do really well this year is going to have a meltdown and disastrous season because of NIL. Maybe it’ll be Texas, maybe Texas Tech, maybe UT. You can’t have this sort of thing in college sports and it not affect colle...
