The Unofficial Vanderbilt Commodores Blog * Now With Fewer Law Degrees!
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. For the first time in literally all of our lifetimes, Vanderbilt Football is 9-2 after kicking the ever loving shit out of the Jamal Mashburn Wedding Jerseys in perhaps the most complete dismantling of an SEC foe I’ve ever seen from my Gridiron Dores.

As Vanderbilt pursues a College Football Playoff bid and the first ten-win season in school history, longtime rival Kentucky comes to FirstBank Stadium looking to extend its own three-game winning streak. Left for dead a few weeks ago, Kentucky is 5-5 after beating the trio of Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee Tech and fighting for a […]

Vanderbilt is coming off their second and final bye week of the regular season, so we have to throw it back to November 8th for the last time the Commodores took the field. Their opponent that day was Auburn, who had fired Hugh Freeze the previous Sunday after losing to Kentucky 10-3. Auburn had not […]

Well, that was a well-timed bye week. Vanderbilt limped into its second bye week of the season after beating Auburn 45-38 in overtime; now, the Commodores are 8-2 heading into the final two games of the season. The College Football Playoff is somehow a possibility, though Vanderbilt almost certainly needs to beat Kentucky this week […]

Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from HoosierDore901: Is the up-tempo offensive revelation we saw yesterday something we should expect as a tool against Kentucky & THEM or was this a one time deal because of what we saw in Auburn’s defense? My fear being up tempo exposes our […]

After a few weeks of big swings good or bad for the staff, we had the most boringly average results possible. We were a collective 23-25 with no one better than 5-3 and no one worse than 3-5. Cole was the only person to go above even while Tom and Andrew were below. Christian, Import, […]

The School: University of Kentucky Record: 5-5 (2-5 in the SEC) Ranking: SP+ has them at 43. Mascot: The Wildcat (seriously, he has no “name”) and Scratch. The Wildcat is the one we all know. Scratch is a wide-headed more silly looking wildcat that often has the jersey number “1/2” to be more kid friendly. […]

The First Round of the NCAA Tournament went poorly for the Southeastern Conference. Georgia, an 8 seed, lost 2-0 to Ohio State in Athens. In the same quadrant, 6 seed Mississippi State lost in Starkville 1-0 to Lipscomb. Across the bracket, 8 seed Alabama did slip by Northwestern in penalty kicks. South Carolina fell 2-1 […]

The football team is on a bye week, so unlike last week, this was an ideal Saturday to schedule a basketball game. Anyway, a certain portion of Vandy Twitter was up in arms about a comment from Mark Byington after Wednesday night’s walkover against Eastern Kentucky. And I’m not about to pretend like I’m super […]

The match at the Vanderbilt Soccer/Lacrosse Complex is a ticketed (general admission) event. Tickets can be purchased through Vanderbilt. Limited […]

The yo-yo continues! The staff winning percentage has bounced from 67% to 43% back to 69% the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, that does not suggest we hit full on rock bottom with something like a 35% hit rate in Week 12. The Week 11 successes were led by Import and Andrew, which makes sense as […]

Vanderbilt is off to a 2-0 start, scoring exactly 105 points in both games. Tonight’s opponent is Eastern Kentucky, who’s 1-1 with a win over something called Midway and a home loss to Western Kentucky. KenPom predicts a final score of 96-71 in Vanderbilt’s favor, so uh, yeah, this shouldn’t be close. Also, I can’t […]

Vanderbilt won the SEC Tournament Championship in a wild and crazy match. LSU would strike early in the contest when a 26th minute corner kick was put towards the near post. Vanderbilt goalkeeper Sara Wojdelko tried to punch but could not get through a legally positioned Bayou Bengal to get to the ball before Gabbi […]

Vanderbilt has reached the SEC Tournament final for the 6th time in program history. It is the first appearance since 2020, which the Commodores won 3-1 over Arkansas. The 2020 appearance was the first since 1998. The other finals were 1997, 1994, and 1993, which was the first year of the SEC Women’s Soccer Tournament. […]

Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. Despite some really dumb decisions, we’re 8-2 after beating the War Tigers in overtime (a completely unnecessary overtime, had we just kicked the damned field goal, but I digress). The last time we were 8-2, the Jitterbug was the dance craze capturing the nation’s […]

No, I don’t know why this is scheduled for the same time as the football game, either. Do better, ESPN. Anyway, dueling game threads!

That was a really unenjoyable game in Austin for 3 quarters. The Commodores were down 17-0 after the first quarter mostly due to a 75-yard TD on the Longhorn’s first play from scrimmage and a Diego Pavia fumble on the 4th play of Vanderbilt’s first drive. Vanderbilt would cut the lead to 14 at 24-10 […]

Well, that sucked. Vanderbilt nearly came all the way back but the 34-10 hole they dug themselves at Texas last week was too much to overcome. Now the Commodores are (checks notes) 7-2 and honestly, we’re still playing with house money here for a team that Vegas set the win total at 4.5 this season. […]

Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from jessecuster44: Lost a close one last year to TX. Disappointed, but impressed it was close. College Football world – Wow. Vandy is a lot better! Pavia is a warrior! Lost a close one this year to TX. Devastated at terrible start. Admirable […]
