Livin La Vida Vandy

Go Dores!

The Vanderbilt Commodores, long considered a doormat in the SEC, just let everyone know in no uncertain terms that they are mad as hell and they are not gonna take it any more.

Specifically, they beat Auburn tonight for a huge win that not only advances their unbeaten record to 5–0, but also gives their team and their program some long-needed legitimacy. They need just 1 more win to become bowl-eligible for the first time since 1982. As in…when Reagan was in his FIRST term as President.

As much as I would like Auburn to rack up as many wins as possible before they play the Crimson Tide in November, I can’t help but be ecstatic that Vandy took them down.

Couple that with how badly Tennessee played againt Northern Illinios, and I can almost forget the comedy of errors that was the University of Alabama today.

I’m not taking anything away from how tough Kentucky played, but Alabama squandered opportunity after opportunity to put the game out of reach.

I’m sure Saban will be stressing that point to his players.

Over and over and over.

For the next two weeks.
