Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

Also unclear why rainbows don’t simply pass, pass, pass.

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

Very, very discouraging. Thought we’d have secondary issues versus the run and gun. But we really look meh.
Roanoke, not sure we can afford to NOT give 9 yard cushions.
Recognize its game 1 and weird things happen, but I’m afraid it’s beginning to smell like SOV. Will happily eat my words.

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

Very disappointing performance on the the D. We look hopeless. I can’t imagine us stopping an SEC offense—particularly any one with a passing offense.

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

4th down play demonstrated how far we still have to go. Let’s see how the D responds.

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

Our D has a ton of issues. On the last play the cb got burnt, the safety was late and the blitz ineffectual. Hopefully this can be fixed

Let’s see if the O answers the bell and if there are adjustments that can be made on D.

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

Our pass rush is lacking and our secondary speed appears to haven’t taken the next step. Thus far anyway

Re: Vanderbilt-Hawaii game thread

It appears on the radar map I’m looking at this could be a protracted delay. What’s the word from Nashville, official or otherwise?

Thanks for doing this AG, spices things up a bit over the season. Here goes nothing. 1. Hawaii at Vanderbilt, winner and final score. UH 34 VU 41 (Hawaii’s run and gun will be a big test for our secondsry 2. Total yards rushing for Vanderbilt 90 3. Total yards passing for Vanderbilt 333 4. Who will ...

Re: Whoomp! There it is... [PREMIUM, The Athletic]

I thought the article was well done. Clearly, no conclusions could be reached, but folks its certainly out there. The football team getting to at least .500 year in year out and basketball going to the NCAA's at the same pace are VU's best bet for staying with the "big boys". On the other ...

Re: YES, IT'S TIME! The 19th annual VandyMania 'Predict the Season' Contest!!

1. 3, losing Mike Wright and Ray Davis will be hard on the offense, especially early on; D needs to prove we have the speed and smarts to make a difference (50 plus years of fandom have taken a toll on my optimism, even with my favorite coaching staff in all these many years) 2. Georgia vs Alabama, ...

Re: Modeling the 2023 uniforms

I like ‘em. They look sharp, traditional but not “old”. An improvement over some we’ve sorted over the past few years.

Thanks for posting Brent. I like Stack's cautious optimism. A bit concerned about the Dort and Smith injuries.

Re: WAY OT: Memphis & Big 12 redux

Wow, a ton of moving pieces:: The Stanford experience I’m sure has gotten the attention of the administration. VU football doesn’t get great ratings I’m sure. What if FSU athletics actually enters into the PE agreement—would it be a taxable operation at that point? Suspect the ACC agreement get the ...

Re: OT (presumably): Oregon and Washington going to the Big Ten

Given the awakening northern super league (formerly known as the Big10) I wonder if the SEC and SEC simply merge at this point since this is all about the money. Also wonder how the SEC’s (and ACC’s) tie-in to, what appears to be a financially weakened, Disney/ESPN ultimately plays out in all this. ...

Re: Clark Lea signs contract extension

I really like the coach and his staff. I really, really wish them much success. (in answer to the remuneration question, i'm sure he's paid too much, goes with the territory these days.)
