Tennessee just flipped Brenden Anes from Wisconsin, which gives them 3 LBs already committed. I am hoping they started pushing for Anes because they didnt get the news they wanted on Howard.

Vanderbilt “routed” Duke. Working on a box score, but Mikayla Blakes led all scorers with 30.

Duke is No. 11 in the AP Poll.

They enjoyed last Saturday immensely
Bowl eligibility was a marker but not a destination, they want more
That includes a really talented SC team this weekend
Their defense is as good as they've seen
Really good on the edges
Beamer's teams have always been strong in special teams
They're excited for the challenge
Playing meaningful games is a testament to work and investment
They look forward to a chance to compete
Should be a great environment

Pavia throws the ball so well, so accurately. Auburn jumped the receivers all day, but he won in the end.

Haven't seen this discussed, but I'm still laughing about the trick play on 3rd and 1 where Pavia and everyone else except the down linemen pretend to look to the sideline for the play and Stowers casually gets under center for the snap and easily gets the first down. It's worth watching more than once to see how all the Vandy players sell it without moving out of position so the formation is still legal and also not moving to avoid a false start. My favorite is Skinner on the far sideline with his arms raised and holding the pose all the way through the play. Talk about playing through the whistle! Also amusing to rewatch just to see the different moments of recognition for each of the UK players - all of which were too late lol.

It starts at about 5:30 on the highlight video:

If I have missed anyone, feel free to add them. @kerrigjl if you want to pin this up top, that would be awesome!!

I had forgotten about this, since we for once aren't ranked on it this year.

Teams of note that are on it:

#20 2-5 Georgia State ( for obvious reasons)

#17 1-7 FSU (love it)

#14 Miss. St. (Lone SEC team)

#12 New Mexico State (no, I don't feel bad for them)

#9 3-5 Ball State ( on here at 3-5?)

#8 2-6 MTSU (put two different schools in here, way to go Mason!!)

Huge matchup today for Clark Lee.

He needs to throw the kitchen sink at Payton Thorne.

Getting to a bowl would be massive for Clark.

Yeah, we are in.

So is South Carolina.

If this is the way it plays out, ladies and gentlemen, we will have ourselves a matchup between ranked teams Saturday afternoon at the Dud! Should be fun, be there if you can!

Defense-There’s your mission. Stop this guy.

27 Carry’s 278 yards vs Kentucky tonight.

Finally got in. First time since 2013

Wow, hate we didn’t get the win but this just further solidifies how legit this team is. The fight in these players is something I’ve never seen at Vandy before. Down 21-7 and I was ready to call it, but wow. We still have some surprises left in us this season. I have to imagine the recruits we had on campus had to enjoy this performance as well. Anchor Down!!!
