Soccer Preview and Gamethread: Alabama
Following a lackluster win in Columbia, Missouri, Vanderbilt’s soccer team came home and took care of business in decisive fashion. They put the ball into the net five times in the first half, but only the last three would count as the first two goals were ruled out for fouls. The first incident involved Margo […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #8: Call For Submissions
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. Well, that was our last winnable game (on paper at least). And we did not winnable. Blargedy. Still, there were moments when you could see the future brilliance of Curtis, even if they were obscured by the rookie mistakes. …and I’m sure you all […]
Game 7: Arkansas Razorbacks at Vanderbilt Commodores – Open Game Thread
Hey! One of Vanderbilt and Arkansas will win its first SEC game tonight! Have fun, expect to win.
Lessons in Vanderbilt Football: Ole Miss
Last week’s game was brutal. Ole Miss was in firm control throughout the first half then disaster struck at halftime to turn it from a dominant win into a downright ass kicking. Vanderbilt was being beaten by a Top 10 Ole Miss team coming off a big loss then a bye week, so it was […]
Saturday Predictions: Woo Pig Arky
It appears Tom has been relocated from his long held post as Lubbock lawyer, and has assumed the identity of Skippy the bag boy in a Des Moines Piggly Wiggly, so let’s hear what the rest of the writers think. Andrew VU ‘04 Arky’s not terrible this year, but they are bad, and this is […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #7: Answers to Your Questions
Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from Jessecuster44: i liked the last two seasons better. Any chance one of our engineering students can build a time machine to get us back there? Follow up: Is that chance greater than HCCL’s chance to right the ship for next year? Another […]
Soccer Preview and Gamethread: Florida
The undefeated Commodores kept their winning stream alive at 5 with a 1-0 win at Missouri. It was not their most impressive performance by any measure. They got a brilliant goal in the 16th minute from freshman Mia Hebert. She received a pass from Olivia Stafford at the right edge of the penalty area about […]
2026 Staff Pick’em Week 7
Everyone point and laugh at the idiot who went 1-7. The only game he got right was picking Ole Miss over our Commodores. I am the idiot. Everyone else did well. The Commentariat and Import did go 3-5, but that is only 1 game off even. Cole, Andrew, and Christian were right at .500. Tom […]
Blaze Out with Broken Collarbone
I know we could use some good news. Did you know volleyball beat #5 Florida? They did! Did you know bowling season starts Friday, and they’re ranked #2 in the country? They are! Unfortunately, now on to this. Blaze Berlowitz came in to play QB during garbage time last Saturday, after the Ole Miss game […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #7: Call For Submissions
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. That was brutal, but at least I predicted the bloodbath. Silver lining? …and I’m sure you all have questions. Here are the rules of the mail bag: …and that’s it.
Game 6: Ole Miss Rebelbearsharks at Vanderbilt Commodores – Open Game Thread
Vanderbilt is still looking for its first SEC win after dropping its first two to Auburn and Georgia. Both of those were on the road; now, Vanderbilt gets ninth-ranked Ole Miss at home. Anyway the locker room vibes are clearly off. Fine. Good vibes make a comeback. Hail Pinman.
Saturday Predictions: Ole Miss
It appears Tom is still dead, so let’s hear what the rest of the writers think. Andrew VU ‘04 The only thing likely to keep this from being a bloodbath is the rain, which will wash most of the blood away, preventing it from pooling in a bath-like fashion. Anyway, I fully expect Trinidad “Saxby” […]
Lessons in Vanderbilt Football: Georgia
After playing some really ugly games against much weaker opponents than Georgia, Vanderbilt found a way to look competent against a national title contender on the road. They also did it without their 5-star freshman starting QB. Blaze Berlowitz stepped into the game and looked better than he looked against either Austin Peay or Delaware. […]
Soccer Preview and Gamethread: Missouri
A dozen matches unbeaten to start the 2026 season has the Commodores ranked #1 by TopDrawerSoccer and living with a huge target on their chests and backs. Kentucky managed to, with some surface condition assistance, turn the match into a tense, cagey affair. The Wildcats did not exactly stifle the Commodores’ attacking intent. They did […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #6: Answers to Your Questions
Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from VandyFled: How different could the game have played out if we get the tipped pass for a pick 6 and tie it up? And would a much closer score line made you feel any different about a loss? Really what I want […]
2026 Staff Pick’em Week 6
The staff followed a stellar Week 4 with a Week 5 that was … acceptable. The overall record was 21-21 for the current and former staffers and on one was worse than 3-4 for the week. Cole, Tom, Andrew, and Import were all at that mark. I managed to be one result better at 4-3. […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #6: Call For Submissions
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. I thought that game would be a bloodbath. We didn’t win, but we covered, and Blaze, the offensive game plan, and even the offensive line looked pretty good. Patrick has promised to go scorched earth against anyone who uses the term “Moral victory,” so… […]
Game 4: Vanderbilt Commodores at Georgia Bulldogs – Open Game Thread
Vanderbilt, 3-1 (0-1 SEC) on the season, faces their second straight road test to open SEC play. Georgia comes in with a 4-0 (2-0 SEC) record under head coach Alex Golesh in his 11th year at the helm of his alma mater. The Bulldogs have dominanted Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Georgia was […]
Lessons in Vanderbilt Football: Auburn
Vanderbilt suffered their first loss of the season. It was a gritty, ugly game where missed opportunities bit them too often. They had a punt and field goal both blocked. The punt was returned for a TD. MK Young had a surefire TD die in a facemask full of turf when he was tripped up […]
Saturday Predictions: Georgia
Unfortunately, Tom is back to being dead, so you’re stuck with me (Andrew VU ‘04) and Patrick. So, uhh… this one’s a loss, right? Let’s see what the writers think. Andrew VU ‘04 Ever visited a slaughterhouse with the rest of your third grade class on a field trip? No? Because that would be a […]
Soccer Preview and Gamethread: Kentucky
The bitter rivals from Knoxville fell defeated before the conquering Commodores. After allowing only 5 goals through the first 10 matches, 3 of which were SEC contests, the Tennessee Volunteers yielded thrice to Vanderbilt. A team that had allowed only 1.7 shots on goal per game would give up 7. They could only muster 4 […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #5: Answers to Your Questions
Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from VUAllday: We can win with our freshman quarterback. We cannot win having punts blocked for an opposing team touchdown. Or running fale punts where only the punter knows its a fake. My question is, How can we stop doing stupid stuff? Answers […]
2026 Staff Pick’em Week 5
Week 4 was a good one! For everyone! The worst performance was CDA at 5-5. Cole, Andrew, and I were all a respectable 6-4. The editor and his adoring public matched at 7-3. The real winner was Import at a ridiculous 8-2. Overall, that left the staff at 38-22 for the week and 194-184 for […]
2026 Vanderbilt Football Mailbag #5: Call For Submissions
Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. The offense put us in position to get punt-blocked. …and Curtis lost his first SEC game in the Land of A Million Mascots. …and I’m sure you all have questions. Here are the rules of the mail bag: …and that’s it.
Soccer Preview and Gamethread: Tennessee
Freshman forward Mia Hebert put her stamp on the season by leading the Commodores to a 4-0 win over Ole Miss in Oxford on Thursday. She only attempted 2 shots but put both into the back of the net. She was second on the scoresheet in the 30th minute after Sydney Watts got the scoring […]
