New Year's Day open thread
3Just thought we might want an open thread to discuss the NYD bowls. Is anyone besides me chuckling a little bit that the SEC is performing so far below expectations so far this postseason? (Yes, I...

Who had the best defensive performance of Wk 12? This team, oh yeah.
CFBTN, my new favorite site, gives us the best performance of the week based on the numbers. Makes sense -- you throttle an insanely prolific offense, you get the award.

FSU is 10:1, right in the middle of the table

Save Sonny Gray for Louisville? An Unsatisfying, Impractical Analysis
A lot of VU fans are advocating resting Sonny Gray for the second game, in the belief that Vanderbilt can cakewalk all over Illinois State just like we cakewalked all over Murray State.... err, I...
NCAA baseball and geographical diversity
As you might know by now, Vanderbilt was not selected as a regional host for the 2010 NCAA Baseball Championship. Connecticut, after an inferior season by any objective measure, was selected. ...
Why can Butler make the final game and Vanderbilt can't?
I'm still learning my way around here so I'm not sure what the most appropriate way to cross post stuff I write on VandySports is. Please bear with me. So, you can read the antecedent discussion...
