Looks like the first SEC game postponement

[Tnphil]

Word is the Vandy-Mizzou game this weekend has been postponed....Vandy was down to 56 players available this past weekend against USC.....Down even more now.

Right now the game is scheduled for Dec.12th.

Ahh Man!...........FUNK DAT!!! Knock on wood though. Vandy seems to be the only school right now East or West having this bad a problem with the Virus that "doesn't exist".

 

[MurphyVol]

We should have pulled the quarantine card Sat night. A postponment couldn't have hurt

I smell the sarcasm in your post. That said, Vandy is located in Nashville, a city that has been hit hard with covid.

Now that the idea has been put into the universe. Someone will try to pull this stunt. Playing chess while they play checkers.

Just heard on the radio Vandy is down to 48-49 scholarship players available today?

Yeah... right at the start of halftime!

It’s kind of amazing that this hasn’t happened a few more times than it has. So easy for a player or two to screw up and create a “situation”.

Lol. I'm not sure why Vandy even bothers with athletics anymore. I know they were a founding member of the SEC, but at this point, the board should really take a look and ask themselves if they belong.

Too much money being spread around for them to change conferences

 

[Tnphil]

Best I remember Vandy has gone further with protocol than the other SEC schools? IIRC they haven't allowed any fans to attend games so far? The city of Nashville/Davidson County are still not as open other cities in TN.

They are collecting money, not bringing it in.

Perfect situation for them.....make money and not spend it.

Over the years they've had good men's basketball teams and made the tourney...And they have won the college world series in baseball a few times.

 

[GetEmVols]

Not surprised it is Vandy. Nashville is a joke... titans having same issue.

I know, but that's why they're not going anywhere. They do compete well in non-revenue sports

Maybe so, but has that been enough to keep them in? Football is the breadwinner.

So stupid. The least vulnerable population lol

Agreed. Wife worked there 35 years . Worst fans in SEC, though they are irrelevant. I personally despise the commode-doors.

Ok, it just doesn't make sense to me. If you're not bringing in enough revenue for your conference, then why are you in it? That's where I'm confused.

Vandy fans have been practicing social distancing at home games for years. Watching highlights, I couldn’t tell any difference in attendance from their games last year.

But it is keeping apposing schools from filling up 'Dudley Dump'.

Spotting a Vandy fan is like spotting a unicorn lol. I drove for Uber all of last summer and football season in Nashville. I didn't meat a single one during that time. That's sad. At the very least they should axe their football program.

They probably have the best baseball program in the country. That said, baseball doesn’t bring in revenue so yeah, I agree they need to take their show to a group of 5 conference

Yep... they’ve got about 45 million reasons a year to field a football team.

Our neighbor drives for Uber, too. She says the very worst passengers are vandie students: rude, belligerent & lousy tippers.

I have relatives (by marriage) who went to Vandy, and that's their team IF the 'dores are having an unusually good year. Otherwise, they are for Florida, Bama, Ole Miss or whoever is playing the Vols.

I try to keep it civil with them, but, day-yum!
