Kentucky basketball fans have invaded Nashville in an attempt to overwhelm Vanderbilt fans ahead of today's matchup between the Wildcats and Commodores, one which ESPN chose as its College GameDay site of the week. (They're not-so-cleverly calling it "Occupy Memorial.") More »

Vandy's mascot "Mr. C" went after one of his own fans before yesterday's loss to Tennessee. Local news tried to make the excuse that he was overzealous, or perhaps couldn't see out of the oversized foam head, but our tipster relays that the bloody student had grabbed Mr. C's junk during a crowd surfing stunt. Mascot justice. More »

Corey Williams, a redshirt freshman at Vanderbilt, had his knee obliterated by a hot shot up the middle and still recorded the 1-3 putout. I hope the next mound he pitches on has a ramp though. More »

1. It's Shan "Rhymes With Pain" Foster. Perhaps more peculiar than the spelling of his name is the form of his jump shot: Foster shoots the ball with his hands virtually behind his head. This causes trouble for almost every defender, as he is able to get off any shot with a defender in his face. He recently went 9-for-9 on 3's in the 2nd half in a career-high 42-points peformance (and a game winner) against Mississippi State. That game helped the Commodores to finish the season 18-0 at home. The 6'6" Senior from Kenner, La. is averaging 21 points and 5 rebounds this season. Foster has recently become the school's all-time scoring leader and is 42 points shy of the 2,000 mark for his career (this is before the SEC Tournament). After Derrick Byars won the award last season, Vanderbilt has the chance to pick up back-to-back SEC Player of the Year awards for the first time in school history. More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=246476&view=rss&microfeed=true We're gonna end this lull day with an easy, not-all-that funny video involving Vanderbilt center Ted Skuchas in some mock instructional video they shot on campus or something. (We're gonna keep this page easy to load, because we hear there's a Up All Night! fantasy draft going on tonight.) We would love to see this guy against Greg Oden, who's about to make so much money he can hire short people to change his lightbulbs. More »

1.How It Got Here. Founded in 1873, Vanderbilt University was originally to be known as Central University in Nashville, on the hope that founding a university in Graceland could heal the sectional wounds inflicted by the Civil War. It was renamed Vanderbilt, however, after Cornelius Vanderbilt abandoned his original two plans to erect an enormous statue of himself, or to build a university in Staten Island named after his mother. Instead, the Commodore chose Plan C, and donated to found a school in Tennessee that he would never visit. The tradition of Gilded Age aristocracy is apparent in many aspects of modern campus life, ranging from the students wearing jackets and ties to football games, to not observing Labor Day due to the Commodore's disdain for the working class, to denying a living wage to school employees, causing a labor uprising on campus and raising the ire of John Edwards and Sergeant Roger Murtagh.

These dorm room kids from Vanderbilt have mastered this art, and the whole enterprise is making us feel extremely old this Wednesday morning. More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=238055&view=rss&microfeed=true Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings isn't like most coaches. A lot of guys will tell their team to protect the ball, but won't practice what they preach. Kevin Stallings not only will protect the ball, but he'll put a body on Joakim Noah, too. More »

It has been a felonious year for backup punters. There was, of course, the famous leg-stabbing punter of Northern Colorado, and now we have Kyle Keown, punter for Vanderbilt who got himself in all kinds of trouble last week. More »
