The Unofficial Vanderbilt Commodores Blog * Now With Fewer Law Degrees!
It was another good week for the staff with no one missing more than they hit. Import, already in the lead, extended his advantage by going 7-1. Tom, Cole, and I all went 5-3. Andrew, Christian, and the Commentariat all went 4-4. Overall, that put the stat at 30-18 for the week and 381-351 for […]
Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from Wonderhill: A friend of mine told me a story about him going on a dream vacation, one he’d saved up for and anticipated for a long time. He got there, and while leaning on the balcony rail, looking at the beautiful view, […]
Well, Vanderbilt didn’t impress yesterday in the first game of the Battle 4 Atlantis, but they got past Western Kentucky 83-78. That gives us a semifinal matchup in the Battle 4 Atlantis against VCU. I’m pretty sure last time we played these guys, Jerry Stackhouse got escorted out of the building after getting ejected. Hopefully […]
The School: “University” of Tennessee Record: 8-3 (4-3 in the SEC) Ranking: 19th in CFP Rankings, 18th in AP, and 18th in Coaches’ Poll. SP+ also has THEM at 14th. Mascot: Smokey, both a mascot and live Bluetick Coonhound. It has been a bad run for the hounds as Smokey XI was just announced as […]
It was a nervy Friday night on West End as Vanderbilt’s soccer team was fighting to reach not just their second Round of Sixteen in a row but also their second ever. The Commodores were immediately under pressure as a Clemson attacker got into the box then went down very easily under what appeared, both […]
Vanderbilt plays in the Battle 4 Atlantis this week, typically one of the greatest early-season college basketball tournaments, except that this year the field features Western Kentucky, VCU, South Florida, Colorado State, Virginia Tech, Wichita State, and Saint Mary’s: quality basketball teams, but hardly the big brand names that you normally associate with this event. […]
As the fifteenth seed, we beat ten-seed Mississippi State in the first round and seven-seed Georgia in the second round. Now we’re onto the quarterfinals where we face two-seed, sixth-ranked Texas A&M. The game will be broadcast on SEC Network at 3PM Central. You can find live stats here.
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 […]
The Vanderbilt Soccer/Lacrosse Complex will be the host for a pair of NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament Second Round matches. The first, already underway, will be between (4) LSU and (5) Iowa. The second will see the (1) Commodores battle (8) Clemson. The main event will kick off at 6 PM Central. Tickets are $10 for […]
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 NCAA’s Women’s Soccer Tournament kicks off today. The Vanderbilt Commodores, fresh off winning the SEC Tournament, have earned a 1-seed and will host Tennessee Tech in the First Round tonight at 7 PM Central. 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 […]
