Vandy's last win over t.u. was before the Great Depression: 1928

Yet Vandy has an 8-4-1 record against the sips.

That surprised me.

11 am kick is good for Vandy
Diego is the man Hipefully he spreads them out and breaks a couple of big plays

Zero chance Vandy can line up and run it Between the tackle

3rd and short will not be a running situation for the Commodores

Agree I lean Texas in a low scoring affair

This game will secure the Heisman for Pavia. Book it.

I think this is a bad match-up for Vandy. They like to run the ball and the sips defense against the run is the one thing they are really good at.

Additionally, Arch Manning may not play which bodes well for the sips offense. I personally think Caldwell is most likely the better QB.

sips favored by 3 points. I think they win by 10.

Who you got in this one?

---

I haven't checked with ESiPN yet to know what they will do to secure a sip win

I think this game the "intangibles" show up more than the Xs and Os.

If this was at Vandy, Vandy wins. Texas has shown they are an awful road team. Texas knows this is a make or break at home, helps focus the players and coaches preparing for it.

On the flip side, I think Vandy is out to prove they are real, and even though Texas is down, whether we like it or not, media thinks a win at Texas is huge.

I think Texas takes this one. I'm fine with that, it helps us. We don't play Vandy, and I'd rather teams we play win all their other games.

(Caveat: Manning is a dud. No idea how good their back up is in a high-pressure "intangibles" game, so I am assuming the backup is at least on the same level as Manning.)

Not sure if that is a safe assumption
Yes hard to be less effective than Arch throwing the ball

Arch has done an average job I. Ball security and maybe slightly above average making plays running

tu is probably not good enough to overcome multiple turnovers

Whoever scores more points when the game ends wins

I don't know man. Almost losing to UK and Miss State, yet somehow magically better to beat a number 9 Vandy just seems far fetched to me. Even if it is at home

Caldwell is on year five at four different schools. He has not been good enough to be and keep the starting position in the absence of injury to the starter. He's serviceable. BUT playing a full game instead of clean up duty? Unknown. He'll still be behind that O-line that has not served Arch too well for entire games, yet.

Matthew Caldwell died in 1842. He's buried in Gonzales.

Manning no longer on injury report.

Would indicate he will play.

Will Buxton? Is this you?

Buxton haha nicely done. ^^

I think Caldwell is going to rip. I hate it, but the sips have schemed a lot of great plays that seemingly they can't take advantage of because of Manning, pressure rate, or both. Caldwell is an old dog and if nothing else, decisive. I think the sips are postured well for this game. Diego better be ready to punish man coverage. Running yards may be hard to come by.

Be sure to use that against every tshirt sip that endlessly spouts 77-35-whatever it is

no one gives a F what happened during the Taft administration

Except that Caldwell isn't starting apparently. ESiPN reporting that Warby is going to get the start tomorrow

This is not earth shattering news but there will be a series of questionable calls on favor of the sips that gives them the win.

---

Not only is it not earth shattering, it's basically guaranteed.

Disney/the NCAA doesn't like it too much when one of their little darlings is on the verge of not being on TV in late Dec/January

As much as I'd like Vandy to win this, I can't see them doing so.

this game will be close look for the refs to play a key role in the outcome.

My tu insiders say that none of the backup qbs have much talent. They couldn't get anybody decent come to tu because of arch. The other qbs there are only players that knew there was no where that they would be a starter.

Part of me wouldn't hate this. We warned them and they all voted them in anyway.

Vandy by 20. Manning gets diarrhea and we find out at the same time he does. Sark walks off the sidelines and into the locker room midway through the third quarter.

Vandy gonna eat. More hungry.

Arch gonna play. Vandys chances go up

If sip loses to vandy, there's a decent chance they lose the rest of their games

They have Georgia, arkansas and us to finish their season.

That description fits Campbell to a tee. Five years, four different teams. He couldn't get and keep the starting position.

Manning is cleared to play. Bodes well for Vandy!

Looks like Arch is playing. That's good for Vandy.

I have two favorite teams. The Aggies and whoever is playing against t.u.

I watch/attend all the Aggie games, but I only see t.u. once a year.

I think it will be really close. I give the edge to the tsips at home though. I think they're going to lay some hat on Pavia. Their D line is really good.

Their "D" has been bottom quarter in SEC conference play.

Manning in health protocol was the out they needed to play the better QB.

I mean, I hope they're too dumb to play the backup

Vandy likes to run and Texas prefers to face the run, although their vaunted defense actually sucks.

Arch yelling into the camera like hes tough or something.

Arch Manning is just so unlikeable

Vandy needs to shut those whorn ****s up

Key to vandy winning- punt it out of bounds
