I am once again asking you to read a long and self-indulgent (but ultimately good I think) story about Vanderbilt and Nashville and Clark Lea

One big keyis to find a QB who is crazy (complimentary) and refuses to enter the workforce

Great anecdote about what it used to be like for Vanderbilt in its own city, even when things were going good. Many thanks to the homie @bradengall.bsky.social

hearing this from more and more people of taste!

Spent the week in my hometown for this one. Lots of fun stuff in here, from Clark Lea explaining why he tried to make a clean break from Vanderbilt's history, to a bar manager explaining how a wing wars promotion shows the Commodores making more local impact than ever

‘Finding a program’s potential’: How Clark Lea turned Vanderbilt into a real SEC football team It took a win over Alabama football for the world to take notice, but Clark Lea's Vanderbilt transformation had been in progress for years.

Vanderbilt's win over Alabama last year woke the nation up. It got Nashville onboard with the team like never before. But Clark Lea's rebuild of a program nobody else believed in was underway years before.

"This is about finding a program’s potential.”

Why Alabama researchers named ancient crab after Nick Saban The newly discovered crabs named after the football coach are said to have survived the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs.

Win six national championships somewhere and maybe they'll name a crab after you too

Beat writer away game trip goat track tour continues. First time playing since before the FSU game due to a sore back. Pine Hills Golf Club in Winder, Ga. Wound up with an 89 I was pretty happy with given the circumstances. Some questionable design choices, but overall worth $40 for 18 with cart

still flabbergasted at this

Absolutely dying at this coachspeak quote from Dilfer

Again, the product here is, among other things, non-prescription boner pills

How UAB tight ends turned a running joke into a serious business UAB tight ends Joshua Rubin, J.C. Sivley and Connor Harby founded a supplement company called Miso Healthy.

As if UAB wasn't already one of the weirdest programs in CFB, its tight ends are now apparently selling dick pills under the brand name "Miso Horny"?!?!

And they're trying to get their teammates using their supplements?!?

Kalen DeBoer ‘had nothing to do’ with end of yearly Alabama-LSU game Alabama football's head coach said he wasn't focused on the Crimson Tide's schedule for 2026 and beyond.

Nick Saban once publicly pushed to get LSU taken off Alabama's yearly schedule. After the Tide drew Mississippi State as an annual opponent instead, Kalen DeBoer said he didn't do the same

"This was to send a message to the playoff committee"

they literally waited until they had successfully complained/ threatened the playoff committee into changing its strength of schedule criteria before they moved to nine games

interesting that every sec network analyst loves how the sec has set the schedule up, love independent journalism

SEC puts Alabama vs. LSU and Tennessee vs. Florida in the intro montage of its schedule reveal show despite moving those games into non-yearly status moving forward (I am watching this stupid show so you can read about it instead of wasting an hour)

cracking open hogville dot net to experience some culture

perhaps it's actually a good thing for your coach to be an extreme golf sicko, will watch auburn-oklahoma to further test this hypothesis

Took me until just now to clock that we've got a battle of the gas station ads on Gundy and Lamb's headsets

could've been 16 separate specials, perhaps this is admirable restraint

was so sure we were going to make it all the way to the first playoff rankings announcement without another dumbass tv special that should have been an instagram graphic

everybody please be nice to tyler buchner, genuinely one of my favorite interview subjects ever
