Yes. And very sad. You hate to see it. :)

Oates's post-game comments made me go watch the replay from yesterday: Everything Nate Oats Said after Alabama's Road Loss at Vanderbilt It's going to be a great 6-team race in SEC this year. Maybe 8 team. By the way, we are in for a treat getting to see Tanner in this league for another...

Oates's postgame comments yesterday made me go back and watch the game broadcast: Everything Nate Oats Said after Alabama's Road Loss at Vanderbilt Announcers discussed the perception of SEC weakness. Said it's still the best conference in country. BTW, Vandy is legit. Byington's the...

HFS, this has got to be some kind of a lurker award. 3 posts in 10 years, lured into making a 4th post to say he was Houston's roommate. Winner!

These are fair points, but you also have to acknowledge the deck is stacked against P4 teams being ranked. That's actually one of the arguments for a P4 AQ - it gives them a chance to prove they belong, to their devoted fan base. Honestly, I'm one of those college football fans that thinks its...

I understand that. The point though is that Power 4 matchups are not immune to blowouts either. We can parse every situation to fit a narrative, but the fact is that blowouts happen a LOT in bowl games. Excluding some of these other conferences would bring its own set of problems for college...

Did you think the Vols belonged in the 2024 playoffs? 2nd-worst loss in last two years of CFP. Worse than JMU's.

If I'm Byington, I just put him on whoever's bringing the ball up. Vandy's other guards are good defenders too. Miles and Collins. It will be interesting to see how they look in SEC play. If there's not much dropoff, they're going to be a real problem.

I don't really think of Mashack as an on-ball defender from midcourt; maybe I'm wrong. I saw a fair amount of ZZ, and Tanner is just at another level. I really can't think of someone I've seen consistently pick pockets at midcourt, then take it to the house. It stood out even as a true...

I watched Vandy at Wake yesterday....crushed them....started out on fire and just never let up. Tanner had 4 midcourt strip n' dunks....I cannot recall ever seeing as good of an on-ball PG defender in college. He seems to have a couple every of these every game.

Vandy is pretty fun. Tyler Tanner is a ball hawk, his on ball defense makes the entire team better and sparks a great transition game.

Point of order, wouldn't this be the bowl hosted by his girlfriend?

Why so rude? I wondered the same thing after I saw your post. Some useful explanations only came after. What an obnoxious post to a reasonable question. Gonna have to mute you from here on out.

It's a Faustian Bargain by Lea, for sure. He's just hoping Pavia's role as a building block for the program can be completed without the poop hitting the fan, 'cause that family is a time bomb. Did you see the news excerpt from the wresting championship 8 years ago? Wow.

“Momentum is a real thing in college football,” says Florida coach Billy Napier.
