Save the Shield! A Vanderbilt sports blog

It occurs to me that I’ve spent several months since December getting in mild disputes with half the population of VandySports.com for believing that dumb luck played a significant role in Vanderbilt’s 2008 football season. Now I’m getting in mild disputes with the other half for believing that the coaching staff isn’t a bunch of bums who need to be sent packing.

I know it’s just part of the nature of sports boards that everyone is overreacting to the latest result, but it feels like you can’t win. You’re either not sufficiently impressed by the feats of your team, or you’re too impressed and too willing to cut the staff some slack.

Anyway, I have very little to say analytic about VU football any more. See Initial Thoughts on Army Game from VSL if you want to read more serious content about that train wreck.
