vanderbilt Stories - From The Rumble Seat
Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...
Weekend Stakes Action: Whitney, Test, Hirsch and Vanderbilt Edition
I had a big preview piece written up last night that apparently didn't save properly, leaving me with a big bag of nothing when I went to edit it this morning. I don't feel like re-creating the whole thing so here's the abridged version: -There seems to be enough pace in the Clement Hirsch to set...
Do the Kimbrow, Batey, and Declouet Signings Suggest a Shift in Emphasis for Vanderbilt Recruiting?
There's no other way to put it - Coach James Franklin's work on the recruiting trail has been nothing short of epic so far. In just over six months as head coach, he's brought in spring commitments from players who previously would have turned down visits to Vanderbilt's Nashville campus. The...

1st and a Mile: A Look at 1st year Defensive Coordinators

Periscope: Vanderbilt vs. Missouri
The perceived controversy between Vanderbilt and its last opponent, Arizona, is simply a blip on the radar compared to the potential for bad-blood between Missouri and Vandy. Back when Shan Foster was a player, Vandy had another stud wing/power forward named DeMarre Carroll from the same recruiting...
A Modest Proposal Regarding Student Attendance
As you can see, typical student support at Vanderbilt games lately hasn't exactly been spectacular. Students at Vanderbilt haven't always been so consistent in their lack of support. Certainly there's an argument to be made that winning begets fan support, and clearly the football team struggled...
Tech takes care of business
GT Hoops took down Arkansas-Pine Bluff today with relative ease despite missing Mo Miller. I figured Mo had a concussion after he ran head first into the Mercer center on Saturday. He was down for too long and usually when a dude is sent to the back like that with no "physical ailments", it's safe...
Weekend update
Tech takes care of Vandy on Saturday but lost the Big 10 Challenge game to Penn State Wednesday night. Tech is now 4-6 all time in the Big 10 Challenge. I know my fellow bloggers don't care much for this year's bball squad but I think we've got some great talent in Gani, Alade, and Iman. This...
