Vandy Sports Listserv: THIS POST IS SERVING AS SOME SORT OF JINX ELIMINATOR
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-post-is-serving-as-some-sort-of.html
Friday, January 16, 2009. THIS POST IS SERVING AS SOME SORT OF JINX ELIMINATOR. The Vandy basketball team is falling and falling fast. It is terrifying to watch, and I'm sure it's even more terrifying to be a part of. But, unlike the men in the video imitating flying squirrels on nuclear steroids, it is not exhilarating. In fact, it sucks. We have lost 4 in a row and sit at just 1-5 in SEC play. The only appropriate accompaniment to our conference season so far is the sad trombone. Ps - sorry for the len...

Vandy Sports Listserv: In Praise of My Favorite Hepstorian
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-praise-of-my-favorite-hepstorian.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. In Praise of My Favorite Hepstorian. My brother was on NPR. He showed up on 848, a nifty show on WBEZ, Chicago Public Radio. He edited a book on jive talk. That’s right, jive. Some notes to guide your listening:. Over/Under on number of times my brother says "Absolutely" in a 9 minute interview - - 27. (There is obviously not much left up to interpretation in history for my brother. He has it all nailed down pretty exactly.). Nothing to add here. I know, sad, right? As a 30 ye...

Vandy Sports Listserv: September 2008
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. TRUST FALLS, HIGH ROPES COURSES, BACKRUB CIRCLES- THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S TEAMWORK TIME. I hope you're ready to do your part, Listserv. This is an historic weekend. If there's to be a Golden Age of Vandy Football (GAVF), we're all gonna have to pull our weight. Facts you should be prepared to hear, perhaps repeatedly and/or in an 'aww, aren't they cute and just trying so hard to play football' tone of voice;. Vandy has not been ranked since 1984. Vandy is a small school. Auburn's d...

Vandy Sports Listserv: April 2008
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. CHICAGO BEARS STEAL THEIR DRAFT BOARD FROM THE LOVE LETTERS IN MY DIARY. Being a Chicago resident, I couldn't be happier right now (well, unless my Saints had gotten Glenn Dorsey and 3 cornerbacks in the first round). The Bears have adopted "Make Pete Aiello happy" as their draft strategy. If they draft Jonathan Goff later, I won't even be mad that the Saints don't get him. Wednesday, April 2, 2008. IS IT AMBIVALENCE OR AMBIVELANCE? IS IT AMBIVALENCE OR EQUIVOCATION? Granted, bein...

Vandy Sports Listserv: August 2008
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. And so it begins. Vandy showed Miami (OH) how we roll last night. All in all, a great game, and a great start to the season. Keeping in mind that I an inveterately bipolar Commodore fan, oscillating wildly from laughable optimism to inconsolable pessimism, here is a snap analysis of the game:. Chris Nickson, your official starting quarterback. Without the 49 yard pass, only had 42 yards passing on 8 completions with a 56% completion rate. Some of those scrambles won't work ag...

Vandy Sports Listserv: Hip Deep in Pie (Gratuitous 'Sports Night' Reference [episode: Dana and the Deep Blue Sea])
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2009/10/ok.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. Hip Deep in Pie (Gratuitous 'Sports Night' Reference [episode: Dana and the Deep Blue Sea]). OK We're deep in it. Things are officially not going well. This season is a struggle. Absolutely. But still possible. Expectations soared this year. We won our first bowl game in a billion years last year. We had lots of returning players and a highly ranked recruiting class. And we. have. sucked. So What do we do? How do we respond? But we have to believe. Right? I don't know what I see...

Vandy Sports Listserv: May 2008
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 9, 2008. It's been a long time. It seems like nothing is being done with the Listserv these days. It seems like all we've heard are empty promises for change. If the Listserv can't help us, then who can? Jay Cutler has diabetes. He should be fine. If that makes you sad, watch this weezer video. 3 Commodores were drafted by the NFL. Chris Williams and Earl Bennett will be teammates in Chicago, allowing them to continue to play together. Vandy has pulled in its best recruiting class ever. Unfor...

Vandy Sports Listserv: December 2008
http://vandysportslistserv.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 13, 2008. IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE BOWL VICTORY, AND I'M STILL NOT CERTAIN THAT I CAN HOLD MY HANDS STEADY ENOUGH TO TYPE THIS. An Accurate Recounting of My Morning, 1/7/09:. 7:00 - Wake up 15 minutes before alarm goes off, not because I'm well rested, but rather my body is in crazy survival mode and anticipates the alarm and won't let me get a full night's sleep. 7:45 - Check bus tracker- one bus arriving in 2 minutes, one in 5 minutes. Cool! I'm getting to work early today! 7:50 - ...
