A Truly Historic Win

With ESPN College Gameday on campus, on national television, the Commodores continued their amazing season with a victory over the Auburn Tigers. Here is why this win is such an incredible accomplishment:

• The first 5-0 start since 1943 (the season was only five games long due to WWII)
• The first victory over Auburn since 1955
• The win keeps Vandy in sole possession of the SEC East lead
• This is the first time of having three straight SEC victories since 1982
• The first game against a ranked opponent when Vanderbilt was also ranked since 1947
• Despite losing 13 games in a row against Auburn, the series is now tied 20-20-1
  
• Representatives from the Capital One bowl (Orlando, the top non-BCS bowl for the SEC), Liberty Bowl (Memphis), and the PapaJohns.Com Bowl (Birmingham) were in attendance last night.

Here are my favorite signs from Gameday:

• Please move you are blocking the library
• The geeks shall inherit the turf
• The three-finger VU sign done by the entire Gameday crew
