We fell short against St. Mary's by 10 points.

The St. Mary's Gaels have stayed within 3-5 points with #1 Houston (7-0) (playing this in Ft. Worth) all game, and there are less than 4 minutes to go.

Edit: However, as of a minute later, it is looking like St. Mary's is starting to make mistakes at the wrong time as the game runs toward its conclusion; they just blew a possession and let Houston score and get a FT. Hard to say but SM is going to have to have stops if they are to catch up. It's a 6 point game but they need to cut the deficit rather than let it get bigger as it is getting now.

More on Vandy's 65-62 win against Wofford with quotes from Stack (will be updated with more in a bit), here:

Postgame video will be out in a few.

Watching UU last night was almost the same as ‘18 VU/UT and looked a lot like last years PAC 12 title game where they punked Oregon.

I didn’t see one of these yet.

USC vs Utah (with Andy Ludwig as OC) will be tied at 17 at the half. Utah has made a game of it after falling down 17-3. Im all for chaos sonIll be rooting for Utah to beat USC for the second time this season.

Would this be a lateral move of sorts?

Ok, this has been driving me crazy but I need help.

Is my grammar poor?

Has grammar in America changed?

Or is soccer guy using British grammar?

As it relates to soccer announcers using grammar that doesn’t jive with what I was taught…

“Even though Canada are* mathematically eliminated, they still have plenty to fight for.”

Before the World Cup, I thought it was, “Even though Canada *is eliminated.”

Is this just announcers and commentators appropriating British grammar or has our grammar actually changed and I just missed it?

Option C is I always had it wrong (3.0 student, so that would make sense).

Anybody else noticed this?

“Iran *have to play a more attacking style in the 2nd half.”

Etc…

Nerds, please help.

I will stop posting about every player who enters the transfer, but this one caught my attention. Am I missing something? The starting QB at Notre Dame is transferring? After an 8-2 record as a starter. What in the world is going on? Paging Ron Powlus.

Pete Thamel ESPN

Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal and is not planning to play in the team's bowl game, sources told ESPN on Friday. The third-year signal caller will have three years of eligibility at his next destination.

Pyne started 10 games for Notre Dame this season, leading them to an 8-2 record and finishing No. 20 nationally in individual quarterback efficiency. He threw 22 touchdowns, six interceptions and rushed for 108 yards and two more scores, while completing 64.6-percent of his passes on the season.

He had a 4-1 record against Top 25 teams, which was the most wins against Top 25 competition at Notre Dame in the last decade.

Pyne's production at such a high-profile school should create a strong market for his services. Pyne's likely last game at Notre Dame highlighted his efficiency and skill set, as he completed 23-of-26 passes for 318 yards in a 38-27 loss to USC. His decisiveness in the pocket stood out to opposing coaches, as they characterized him as a quick-twitch thrower.

Pyne took over as Notre Dame's starter against Cal on September 17 in the wake of the upset loss to Marshall. He energized the program after it began the season 0-2 and led them on a run of eight wins in nine games.

Pyne is a 6-foot, 205-pound quarterback from New Canaan who is a former ESPN 300 recruit. He chose Notre Dame over a long sheet of offers that included Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma and Auburn.

That's big.

I don't know what our status with coordinators are, and Rossomondo was great, too, but Blazek has earned a raise. He took what started the year as one of our biggest problem areas into a position of relative strength, he's won the recruiting battle vs. the portal, and the team seems to have great gel and camaraderie. Since the message boards spend an inordinate amount of time on coaches that should be canned (and I am guilty of that, too), we should throw money at our keepers, and Blazek seems like a real keeper to me.

We finally get an article on WBB. (i understand only 4 people on this site even know we still have that sport.) Just a little early to report the sterling loss to ETSU. (I know there are 84 or 85 excuses for that.) I hope Vandy NEVER schedules ETSU again. In any sport.

I’m pretty shocked but there’s been big infusions of cash into the program recently.

Yes the Lipscomb High School coach to become the new UAB coach.

He is well connected and will bring a great staff and plan.

But incredibly he looks like he is going from head high school coach to head ball coach on college.

Did we offer him a scholarship originally.

In the same role. Pretty sure Satterfield coached under Rhule at Temple

Two starters may return for VCU versus the Dores. You can somewhat throw away the Rams 3-3 record if these starters do play. It helps VCU, obviously, in terms of depth and their quality of play and provides a "lift" in terms of VCU's ability to pressure the Dores the entire game.

If we do get full court pressure, we will really be hurting if Manjon is the only PG available. Will Lewis return to the fold for VU, although I know that he is only a frosh with limited minutes so far?


Baldwin, Watkins day to day
Rhoades said Baldwin (broken wrist) and starting wing Jamir Watkins (bone bruise in knee) are day to day going into Wednesday’s game against Vanderbilt (3-3) at the Siegel Center (7 p.m.).

Baldwin had surgery 10 days ago and has been on a 2-3 week timetable to return. Watkins, a 6-7 redshirt sophomore, has been dealing with the bone bruise for about a week, Rhoades said. Watkins played only 6 minutes against Kennesaw State.

If neither is able to play, it would leave the Rams (4-2) without two of their top scoring options. Baldwin averaged 12 points and 35.5 minutes, with 14 assists, 10 steals and five turnovers, before the injury. Watkins is averaging 9.2 points and 5.5 rebounds and shooting 41.2% on 3-pointers.

Watkins missed last season while recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee. Rhoades said the bruise is in the other knee.
“Jamir went to the doctor [Monday],” Rhoades said. “As you know [bone bruises are] very painful. Sometimes they linger for a while. But there’s nothing structural or anything like that. It’s more of let’s try to get him feeling better and better so he can feel good about how he’s playing and moving.”

If we can get an official from

Randon Fontenette what do you think our chances are ?​
