I don't want to spoil it...


Honorable mention to Linus Zunk and Gunner Hansen.

Finishing under .500 ten years in a row. Thanks Mason and Lea.

Came across a great line from a sports reporter talking about NIU's win over Notre Dame----the difference between college football and the NFL is that every week, some team will win a game that the players will remember the rest of their lives.

Just another reason we love college football.

ATFD

Upset of a top 25 team, and full stadium, and he found a way to screw it all up.

But, why we (again) expected Lucy not to pull the ball, I have no idea. Except we are Vandy Fans.

I still think this team will win some games no one expects it to. That said, we are a good running back, a fast receiver (thanks London), an offensive line, and two lockdown corners away from being legit. And a real head coach and a competent AD. Hope springs eternal, I guess. It sure gets harder to find it though

From the Hustler

Caught up with 2026 Ensworth (Tenn.) DB target Justin Hopkins about his Vanderbilt visit this past weekend. Definitely an in-state target to watch moving forward.

My 10 favorite games of the weekend​

1. Vanderbilt 34, Virginia Tech 27. I almost listed "Vanderbilt is going to be the most annoying 4-8 team ever" among the overreactions above. We'll see what kind of staying power the Commodores have this season now that there's film on what they want to do, but everything about their offseason changes -- most notably, bringing in former New Mexico State head coach Jerry Kill and a few of his favorite Aggies -- screamed "This team's going to be a giant pain in the butt at the beginning of the season." They certainly were in this game, bolting to a 17-3 lead before the Hokies' offense could wake up.

Vanderbilt comes up with a stop to win OT thriller
Vanderbilt stops Virginia Tech on fourth-and-11 to win 34-27 in overtime.
The Commodores' finish was even more impressive than their start. Tech seemingly seized the game with a 17-0 run, and the Dores looked dead on their feet. But crafty old Diego Pavia led a 70-yard touchdown drive, tied the game with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Sedrick Alexander, then scored the eventual game winner in overtime. With QB Kyron Drones suddenly suffering from cramps, Tech couldn't respond, and Vandy had its first nonconference win over a power-conference team since 2017
