Good morning.
It’s been exactly two weeks since sports were shut down for the foreseeable future, and it’s actually eerie how little we’re hearing about when things will start back up. (Insert obligatory statement about how sports don’t matter and there are bigger concerns; for fuck’s sake, we’re a sports blog, and I’m definitely not a doctor.) Instead, now we’re just getting threats of even further and further off sporting events getting called off because we can’t seem to get the Coronavirus under control:
I’m not sure how many people on here are mentally prepared for the idea that football season is in jeopardy. It has been *the* topic of conversation this week in college athletics.

The longer this goes on and if this virus will come and go in waves, the more I'm thinking there isn't going to be a basketball season in the fall.

Oh. Well, then. Looks like we’ll be less a sports blog and more a shitposting-and-schadenfreude blog for the foreseeable future. Luckily, we have an actual topic of discussion today.
Dabo Swinney: "Robbie Caldwell had us all dying laughing this morning because he said the only reason his face wasn't popping up (on Zoom when he talked was because) he said he was naked. He always wanted to come to a staff meeting naked. We all got a big kick out of that. "

There is no doubt in my mind this actually happened. After all, we all remember his SEC Media Day appearance.
Random Vanderbilt YouTube Game of the Day
Ah, fine, the only video evidence I can find of the Robbie Caldwell “era” at Vanderbilt.
