Save the Shield! A Vanderbilt sports blog

I’ll make this short and sweet. I don’t write enough about Vanderbilt sports to merit maintaining a site for it.
I will be blogging at Anchor of Gold. Here is my stuff presented as its own blog — when I feel ambitious, I’ll try to get the root of savetheshield.com to redirect [...]

This blog certainly isn’t dead — at least, I have no intent of end-of-lifing it — but I’ve felt hobbled for the past few months. Sometimes I feel passionate enough about a topic like Vanderbilt sports to write about it, and other times I just don’t. When I don’t, I [...]

College sports are my bread and butter here, and it’s time for an obvious lull.  I should comment on the CWS, but it’s a bit too painful to think much about.  I’m glad to see that Rice is in the catbird seat in the tougher of the two brackets, and with [...]

First a housekeeping note: I’ve had it reported that posting a comment brings up a blank screen, and i also get this at times when i post or edit a post. I’ll try upgrading to the latest WP 2.0 and see if it’s a fixed issue, but if not then i may have to improvise [...]
