Wake up, ‘Dawgs! It’s game day!
And not just any game day, Homecoming. It’s the time to bark with old friends, new friends, and friends you haven’t even met yet.
Speaking of old friends, our old buddy Jared Curtis apparently has an owie or something.
It’s sort of funny that of all the things Clark Lea could have copied from Lane Kiffin, injury report hijinx are the thing he’s going to stick with. I expect Curtis to suit up this afternoon. If he doesn’t, he’ll never live it down.
On the Georgia injury front Nate Frazier and Isaiah Canion remain questionable, and I doubt we’ll see either with a big trip to Tuscaloosa looming next week.
Outside linebacker Chase Linton however has been upgraded to probable, which is a welcome sign given the preseason reviews of his play. I’d love to see Chase chase down Curtis and light him up like only a Linton can.
If you want to know more about Vanderbilt football (Heaven help you), there’s no better place to do that than at our SB Nation sister site Anchor of Gold. For example, you could check out their weekly mailbag. Be warned, it’s not a feel good romp. If Flannery O’Connor and Truman Capote wrote a college football team into existence, this feels like how that team’s fans would feel.
Finally, here’s your mandatory tailgate music for the visitors from Nashville:
Go ‘Dawgs!!!
