New Powerhouse - Vandy?

[Oh8ch]

A perenial loser that manages a 4-0 start doesn't merit its own thread - even if two of those wins are confernces victories in the SEC.

What I think makes this worthy is that the football program reports to:

- a University President who is leading the charge to tie graduation rates to football success

- a President who has been labeled the "Conscience of the SEC"

- a President who restructured the Athletic Department in a manner unheard of at the Div 1A level

- a President who has held the same title at four other Universities and won a conference football title at every one of them (and a NC at one)

- a President who can't weigh 110 soaking wet

- OSUs very own bow-tied Gordon Gee.

Go get 'em Gordo!

I voted them at 25th in the last BP poll, and 23rd this week.

They have a very good qb in Cutler.

Now lets see how far he can lead them threw the meat of the SEC schedule.

Did they win all four games, or were they all 13-13 (bow)-ties?

Did they win all four games, or were they all 13-13 (bow)-ties?

if that was the case, those were the greatest four wins in the history of the program.

Vanderbilt football player shot at party
Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Vanderbilt wide receiver George Smith was shot in the arm and two teammates were injured over the weekend at a party at a university apartment building, a school spokeswoman said.

Smith, a redshirt freshman, was shot in the arm early Sunday by someone who is not a university student, school spokeswoman Melanie Moran said. He was taken to Vanderbilt hospital, was treated and released.

Nashville and university police are investigating the incident and no arrests have been made.

The shooting came hours after Vanderbilt beat Division I-AA Richmond 37-13 and improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1984.

Smith has seven catches for 48 yards and a touchdown this season.

Freshman defensive end Derrius Dowell and redshirt freshman safety Reshard Langford sustained minor cuts and were also treated and released from Vanderbilt hospital, Moran said.
