fans, just embrace it now. We will be absolutely vilified for this situation that none of us wanted.
Remember that VUMC has vaccinated over 250k people, and you’re cheering for representatives of a university that is an overwhelming force for good in the world.

Here’s the thing: I am both an RPD and an APPE preceptor. If your APPE student tells you they have a residency interview scheduled for a day, you LET. THEM. OFF. FROM. ROTATION.

The numbers show that about 1 in every 3 Tennessee voters casted a vote for a Democrat in this election.
Only 1 of our 9 members of Congress will be a Democrat.
Gerrymandering.
Plain and simple.

Thank you

I have not criticized Vanderbilt’s COVID response thus far as I think that it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry, but it is the epitome of hypocrisy to allow paid fan attendance at the upcoming basketball games and not allow students to attend.

I am still stunned 8 hours later.
Happy Sunday!
It wasn’t the best Saturday for us, fellow Commodores, but remember, it’s a game. Also, please remember that 99.8% of you never had to deal with having fully grown people tweet about how terrible 21 year old you was at playing said game.
Be kind always. ⚓️⬇️

After a 2-20 stretch that spanned 2019-2021, Vandy football is 7-7 in their last 14 games. Every moment hasn’t been perfect but the trajectory is correct.
Facts don’t care about your feelings, your lazy 🫏 takes about construction, or weird scores in the first quarter of a game.
After much consideration and prayer, I have made the easiest decision of my life and will be returning to Vanderbilt Stadium next fall for my 21st consecutive season of cheering on the Commodores.

Look
@VandyBoys
fans, we do not have a chip on our shoulders regarding this sport. During the last two (full) seasons, we are national runners up and national champions. Don’t prostrate yourself to antagonists who have rightfully earned a top ranking in March. We play until June.
For example, if you are a resident of Jamestown, TN, your income is likely less than $20,000 per year, and if you need a hospital, it’s a 45 minute drive to Livingston or an hour to Cookeville.
If only we could do something to take that verse seriously.
Can you imagine the difference in our country if we took Psalm 83:3-4 seriously?
“Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4 Rescue the poor and helpless;
deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
One last thing before I call it a night.
I dare you to watch this and tell me there’s someone better for this position. She articulates her focus so well, has tremendous experience and poise, and carries a resounding endorsement from the student athletes.

and have now outscored their opposition 58-30 during the NCAA tournament while posting a 9-1 record, which really supports the notion that they’re undeserving of another title.
Before the Nashville sports media starts their typical antics after Vanderbilt accomplishes something like this, friendly reminder that bowling is an official NCAA sport, and there’s only 1 university in the state who has won a championship in such competitions recently.
If you are (or if you voted for) a state representative or senator who criminalized peaceful protest at the Tennessee State Capitol, think twice about who you are quoting today.

I’ve cheered on Vanderbilt athletics for 25 years, and I am 100% certain that from the baseball regionals to now has been the absolute most brutal stretch of fandom I’ve endured.
It’s one thing to know you’re gonna struggle. It’s completely different to expect success and lose.
Lost in all the hubbub of last night was the fact that the crowd was like 80% black and gold. It was a tough one to sit through, but I appreciate everyone doing their part to keep out the orange.
Hoping tonight’s crowd has a chance to make some serious noise.
@VoteMarsha
Let’s talk about the 400,000 Tennesseans who are at risk of eviction over the next month because of COVID related job losses, and why, instead of protecting them, you chose to tweet this.
We have a maximum of one week left with this incredible team. It has been so enjoyable to watch. Finish this thing off,
@VandyBoys
. We are all behind you! ⚓️⬇️
At this point, I am starting to feel badly for Luke Smith. He was way out of line, and it was on display for thousands of people to see. That being said, none of us would want to be judged by our worst moment at 19.
We won. He probably helped.
Onward.
#CWSFinals
Kansas State brought at least 10,000 more fans to Nashville two years ago than are in Starkville today.
The glitz and easy accessibility of Nashville is hurting Vanderbilt’s ability to have a home field advantage as much as anything else.
Seeing a small mumbling online discrediting the
@VandyBoys
undefeated SEC start saying they’ve played “the worst 3 teams in the SEC” as if they didn’t play 10 non-conference games against the Top 25 while everyone else was out here playing the Southeastern Mississippi Choir Boys.
Obviously we will need more offense going forward, but I think when the new QB and OC get settled in, we’ll be fine. Always nice to get a win while resting Ke’Shawn also.
NC State, the team who brought ✨who knows✨ how many unvaccinated players and staff members to Omaha, is quickly becoming America’s team.
Honestly a great synopsis of 2020-2021.
