The 2021 Vanderbilt football "Fact Book" is out

However, if you're interested in information about this year's roster, coaching staff, or opponents, don't waste your time. Following last year's format (implemented after the retirement of longtime football SID Larry Leathers), the 2021 "Fact Book" only includes information about past seasons: all-time records, scores, lettermen, etc. It's as dull as watching paint dry.

Up until 2019 (Leathers' last year), the school annually published a flashy, glossy media guide / fact book, which featured great photography, in-depth profiles of the players and coaches, analysis of the roster by position, schedule, etc. It was eagerly anticipated by fans and served a dual purpose as an advertisement for the school and program. It typically made its annual debut at SEC Media Days.

No more.

A cursory look at some other SEC programs:
Tennessee- a 2021 Fact sheet on their website
Alabama- a 2020 Media Guide on their website
LSU- a 2020 Media Guide on their website
Auburn- a 2018 Media guide on their website
Florida- a 2021 238 page media guide on their website

Media Guides seem to be sketchy this year (except Florida)

Thanks for the link, it is about as dull as watching paint dry but I still always enjoy killing time looking at it. Who knew we had a win streak vs Alabama in the late 40s-early 50s? Who knew we hold a 3-1 all time record against Clemson? Who knew that our absolute worst all time record against an SEC opponent is South Carolina (I actually already knew it was bad....but gosh...it's REAL bad....)
