Cole Cubelic’s take on us last Saturday

Cole tweets his reflections on every SEC team’s weekly performance:

“VANDERBILT: Avoided let down. QB worked the mesh well. Hit some nice quick throws. OL missed a few blitz pick ups. Struggled with 2nd level. Lot of LB run thru. 2 good with head fakes. Nice accuracy on the move. Did miss on a few high % balls. 28 grinded. Extra hats came down quick on them. 9 had a huge game. Based on pressure needed a few more shot plays. Really nice job setting up throwbacks for later in game. Lot of quick throws off play action the def had to adjust to. Formations looked like they threw them off. 2nd level got pushed some. Wildcat was a problem. Had extra blockers to manage. 24 played well. 98 a problem. 94 got going some. Had struggles but got it figured out. One win away from a bowl with another massive opportunity at home up next. 2nd 5-2 start the last 40 years. 4-0 at home for 1st time since 1982”

Biggest remaining game .

at Auburn . A tall order on the road at Jordan Hare but doable. Our remaining schedule is absolutely brutal. Three top ten teams in Texas, UT, and LSU. South Carolina can hang with top team teams. We may have a shot against them , but the reality is they’re good. That leaves only Auburn as a beatable opponent to get us to 6 and 6 . We need to get healthy .

My Thoughts from Last Night

First off it’s always a great blessing to attend Vandy sporting events. Living in Cookeville (roughly an hour and a half away) makes it a bit more difficult than if I was one of the locals. As many of you know I hadn’t stepped foot into The Bank since the 2019 UNLV game. I left that game mad at everyone except the players and the fans. I chose to only watch football on TV, but still attend MBB games and VandyBoys games in person. This season there’s definitely a new vibe around the football program. I sensed it as soon as I walked from the parking garage to Vandyville and especially when I got into the stadium. The section (F) that I was in was really engaged in the game, but honestly the entire stadium was. I will definitely be heading down for another game in 2025!!

The ultimate dream one day would be to get closer to or even in Nashville and be able to become a football, MBB, and VandyBoys season ticket holder. I cherish every moment I get to spend in Memorial, Hawkins, and The Bank!!

Great quote from ESPN today - Week 8

“And amid all of the zigs and zags of this SEC season, there's still Vanderbilt, sailing along like a goalpost in the Cumberland River. Somehow the Commodores have a better shot at the SEC title game than the Tide or Ole Miss or Oklahoma because, in 2024, in this new SEC, there's almost nothing that feels normal.”
