Vanderbilt and Arkansas both received 12 first place votes, with Kentucky and South Carolina each receiving one of the SEC East votes, and LSU and Mississippi State each receiving one of the SEC West votes.

"That was the tail end of a game in which Vanderbilt hit a blistering 12 three-pointers in the first half, but they became over-reliant on the shot as the game wore on. The long ball became a crutch that failed to extend the Commodore lead as time wore down, and then kept them from coming back when overtime started. In 13:30 of crunch time in these two near-misses, Vandy put up 20 shots. They got 10 points over that span." Yep, I just quoted myself. Yes, I hate myself for it too. But, I think it's a good place to start talking about where this season is headed. Let me know what you think over in the comments over at NSH.

Coach is looking pretty dead on...other than the fact that he probably was to generous in his ranking of the Irish.

Just wanted to get the word out that there are about 1500 MCB tickets available for active duty military, veterans and their families through Vettix.org. If you know someone who is an active duty service member or veteran that meets the vettix criteria, invite them to come be part of the 60,000 wearing black and gold! Semper Fi and Anchordown!

Two of my greatest interests have converged. That's right, Vanderbilt Football is now NPR hot.

CFBTN, my new favorite site, gives us the best performance of the week based on the numbers. Makes sense -- you throttle an insanely prolific offense, you get the award.

Gone are Ohio State and Northwestern. In are Austin Peay and UAB. Vandy will have seven home games in 2013, including tilts against Ole Miss, Missouri, Georgia, and Wake Forest.

Looking for a fall preview of the baseball team? @VUHawkTalk has you covered.

Vandy alum Lance Goulbourne will join classmate Festus Ezeli in California this October as a member of the Golden State Warriors. The team announced on Wednesday that they extended a training camp invitation to the former SEC Player of the Week. Goulbourne will have an uphill climb to catch on with the Warriors, but his improvement over the past three years have him on the right trajectory to earn a roster spot somewhere.

The Q&A from the dawgsports side of things. Some great responses there about Saturday night's game.
