The Story of Vanderbilt Football: Outgunned, Outmanned, Out planned...Open Thread


October 31, 2009 - Somewhere in the Atlantic, a gentle breeze pushes the S.S. Vanderbilt along at 4 knots.

Little does the Vanderbilt realize it is being watched.

Boom.
The Vanderbilt never saw it coming.


Post your gameday thoughts for Vanderbilt! Happy Halloween from FTRS!!!

Great job, John!
…aaaaand I’m taking my daughter trick or treating as a Whoopin Stick!
I’m a sudden IU fan as they’re beating Iowa early in the 2nd quarter.

just powerpoint
Just google for images that I wanna base pics on then I free hand in powerpoint with the shape drawing tool. All the different colored areas are just different layered autoshapes that people use normally for presentations.
This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
14-0
IU is winning 14-0. If anyone is looking for good pre / post game place to have a good time—check out Flying Saucer or Tin Roof - both off of Demonbreun. Also Red Door Saloon on Division is maybe like 1/2 mile from the stadium at most-all good places.
Never thought id say this
but GOOOOOOO HOOSIERS
I need a shot of makers after that

games of interest
IU-Iowa – go Hoosiers, knock off a top 10 team for GT
NCSU-FSU – shootout, ridiculous offense, great game to watch
Worst game on TV – Auburn-Ole Miss. I’m watchin’ it with a NCSU grad that loves Auburn (makes little to no sense).

been watching the NCST-FSU game
Commentator: “It’s like a video game”
My Wife: “I’ve seen better defenses in video games”

IU getting the absolute worst calls ever
More evidence that the Big 10 sucks more than any conference in the US

Wow
The only team I’ve ever seen to have 6 (lost) TOs and still be in the ball game
FSU edges out NCST
And still plays no defense, yet might win the Atlantic. Horrible.
Also, Wake is up 17-0 over Miami, hahahahaha. Now, I’m just flipping to it between breaks in the ugay-UF game and every time I’ve watched, Wake has scored, so I’m not sure if Wake is playing solid D or if Miami’s offense has completely fallen apart.

Turd canes just scored, Miami 7 – Wake 17

WF-UM
I would have to pull for the canes on this one since strength of schedule does factor into BCS standings—wake is awful, so that wouldn’t be good for the canes.
On FSU & Clemson--
Not sure who I would want to play if we had to face them again in the ACCCG—they would both come out wanting to prove something
I'd rather play FSU
I think we’d beat them more soundly. Clemson scares me with their offense/defense combination.

Yeah—I think I agree, my buddy went to fsu and his take on it is even ‘blind men’ could run wild against their D—our defense has really stepped it up too—Clemson’s defensive line is a lot better than that of Florida State as well—only 10 more minutes of work then headin to West End Ave to see us throw down. Go Tech!
Holy shizzers
Is anyone watching this Wake-Miami game? Harris just hit three in a row for about 60 yards and tied it up 27-27.

haha 28-27
after the 2pt conversion.

Poor Wake
That’s asking a lot from your kicker to hit a 60 yarder when his career long is 42.
Turd Canes win 28-27.

And
In case anyone was wondering, Skinner took a hit to the head sans his own helmet, so he’s been out for most of the 4th quarter. Not exactly a cause of anything as Wake has given the ball away like five times now I think.

Also
Florida just finished up that 1AA school ugag. It was a dismantling.

Nesbitt with the score! Sooo.....
Over/under Nesbitt going for 1100/1100 yds? I’m going for the over.

Based on both teams' first drive
I’m putting the over/under for the game at 82

About time too
After his last couple games last season, I figured he would have been more prominent than Peebles.

Not sure about that pass.
Also, I’m caught up to live now.

Isn't it always 790TheZone?
790AM I believe. It’s on CSS if you have that channel.

Headin to a friends to finish this up
Keep the thread on lock for me

Friend as wireless ftw
I’ve got the game recording, but I see our kick coverage still needs work. I have to say that I am disappointed that this is a close game at all. I guess I’ll just have to keep waiting for that big bust-out game.

Well
At least I got our side of my prediction right. I sure hope CPJ get all in Wommack’s rear about this defense, because if we end up getting Clemson in the ACCCG I’m not sure it’ll hold. Plus, color me somewhat spoiled on the Tenuta defense’s of old. I don’t like watching arm tackles and wide open spaces over the middle every single game.
Other than that, a win’s a win’s a win. And winning by 20 or so is never a bad thing, heck they couldn’t slow our second unit. I expect more of the same against Wake and if Skinner is out, I doubt they have the offense that Vandy did tonight. I really feel for Skinner, that helmet to head hit he took had to hurt like no other.
Either way, 8-1 and I hope we move up.
