Now you're acting like an SEC team!!!

Post by William

Missouri is now showing they want to play Big-boy football. I wonder if the Notre Dame radio announcer would like to have this kid on his team.

Missouri QB arrested on scooter with 2 girls

Same result... but that isn't the same Ole Vandy.

Post by Mike

If you watched any of the game last night you may have noticed a few key points.

1 - Vandy didn't get a crucial non call on their final drive. It was pass interference, but no laundry.

2 - That isn't the same old Vandy team. Their defense hits! They hit like a big boy SEC school. In fact on the key play of the game Commodore corner back Andre Hal crushed Carolina tight end Justice Cunningham knocking his hat off. That hit was penalized and USC eventually scored on the drive.

3 - You have to wonder how long Vandy can hold on to this coach. Arkansas and even Tennessee have to be coveting thy neighbor's signal caller.

Franklin has his boys believing they can play with Carolina, and Florida, and Georgia. So what appeared to be a weak home schedule for the Dawgs just became more interesting with the Dores planning a trip to Athens in just three short weeks.

Carolina rallies to beat Vandy.

First Game Picks

Post by William

Here are the picks for Thursday night's game

South Carolina minus 6.5 vs Vandy(Home)

Rick- VANDY

William- SOUTH CAROLINA    I'd love for Vandy to win. Would be huge for UGA right out of the gate. Here's why Vandy is a pretender.... They can't sellout their first game at home against South Carolina. Anchor down Nation?? Good Grief. Give it up and go back to Math Class.

Get Real Vandy!!!


Just how bad is Buffalo?

Post by Mike

The Dawgs open up in just a few days and expect to see a lot of people play. Last season the Bulls won only two games. They topped Stony Brook 35-7, and Akron 51-0.

They are so bad, even Tennessee beat them 51-0. Their other losses were to Bowling Green, Miami (OH), Northern Il, Temple, UConn, Ball State, and Pitt.

Buffalo Bulls - 2011 Results

We've got a winner

Post by William

Old college friend Rick Rodriguez got the trivia question correct. Answer was Corey Jenkins.

We'll be picking tomorrow night's then USC/Vandy game then 10 more for the weekend.

Thanks for all who answered.
