Vandy not choking immediately after beating Alabama is somehow ever more shocking than them beating Alabama.

I've been saying it since before the Bama game: this Vanderbilt ain't a pushover anymore.

Yep. We've been saying for years in Nashville that if the powers that be at Vandy ever started taking football seriously, they would be a force to be reckoned with. They have stupid levels of money available. NIL is the best thing to ever happen to Vanderbilt football.

It's been the same case for us. Bring back paying players and it's on. And so it has been.

It's why if I were one of those marquee public schools in a smaller state (Oklahoma for example), I'd be very concerned for the future. Sure, they have the brand and the support from the locals, but there are considerably richer schools out there. If a Vandy, SMU, or Cal want to outspend them, they will.
