So, this game seems big, doesn’t it? The “Vandy hasn’t played anybody” line should have been put to rest this week with UCF and SMU both entering the top 25. Beating Alabama… well, that would cement it. It would also put Vandy at 15-0. Let’s do it.

On Wednesday morning, the Chicago Cubs began finalizing a long-rumored trade for Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. And in its wake, a smattering of high fives erupted across the greater Chicagoland area.
