I’m about to head out. It occurs to me that tonight begs for a drinking game. Mark Jones is enough of a hack that we ought to hear plenty about the awful doings from last year.
One wrinkle – I’ll let you guys come up with the rules. So have at it in the comments.
Drink every time somebody says,”vandy under Franklin won’t back down.”

Along the same lines drink when you hear how Franklin has “changed the culture” of Vandy football.

Anchor down must be new, never heard it before this year, on this blog. Guess I always thought they had their anchor down but maybe they were just dead in the water. Dawgs roll tonight, I just hope we get no significant injuries. I will drink to that!

Anchor Down is a leftover from the Vandy-SC game. Student sign.
Apparently Vandy does not offer classes in nautical terminology.
I decided on a more fitting spot for the anchor….from the Dawg point of view.
As in: Anchor Up They Damn Ass.

Thanks, missed that sign. Like gt, Vandy fans continue to make you wonder about the value of test scores and academic standings. Their perception of last year’s game is baffling. Not a lot of difference between the ethics of them and Auburn fans in 2010. Selling their integrity to support lil Jimmy Franklin.

I, for one, would love to see them run out on the field and drop anchor all over themselves.

It’s 2:40 in the afternoon. Watching the Fl/KY fiasco.
I believe Andre Ware might propose marraige to Driskell on TV after the game.
At least 3 times he has proclaimed Driskell to be “performing at the highest level of any QB in the SEC”…..This against the (arguably) worst team south of the Mason Dixon line. He even called out Murray by name, as he did McCaskill (or whatever the Al QB;s name is).
Kentucky is terrible. The KY QB has thrown more pics than completions.
Andre is really just ot of control.
I loved it when he guaranteed a call on the field would be upheld on a review. He was adamant about the call. He was wrong, as usual.

While it has been known for his last two games that Barfey can’t live up to the misguided hype of ESPN, we finally saw and heard admission of ignorance about Murray, no matter how many placed him in the Heisman candidacy before the season began. In their haste to crown anything that moves at USC as something special, the pundits find that the crow-eating contest that follows wasn’t on their menu and are now acting as if they have discovered someone new.
Disregard all their crap, keep Aaron, Jarvis, Marlon and Gurley up there in your minds anytime you chance upon Heisman talk. Don’t worry. ESPN will give them short shrift everytime , but you can let their mention warm the cockels of your earnest football heart. We have something that we can be loyal to through thick and thin; good and hard working players who are holding the UGA flag high in college football and athletics. They makes us proud by their endeavors no matter the ignorance promoted by those intent upon unseating the SEC as the best conference in football while using nothing but ignorant prattle to make their case.
