Here's your bulletin board material for this week... in leadup to his game with Missouri, Auburn coach Hugh Freeze made a comment about coaches that were doing well with "lesser rosters", naming Missouri, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt...
Asked about that comment yesterday, C.J. Taylor said he was "on social media a little bit", and that he and the players were aware of the comment... "we saw it, I'm sure a bunch of my teammates saw it, but"... (rolls his eyes here)... "we'll see at the end of the week."
VU players aware of Freeze's comment, Mizzou, UK, VU have "lesser rosters"
For discussion regarding the Vanderbilt Commodores' football program.

I personally don't have a problem with it. Seems objectively true- even if we are much more talented than everyone thought going in to 2024. That said- all for it if our players are fired up about it!

Yeah, technically Nifae wasn't wrong either... Bama really was next [on our schedule]!Vandy_Law07 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 11:30 am I personally don't have a problem with it.

Thing about these "bulletin board" propaganda battles is, the statement doesn't have to be false for your team to take umbrage at it. Saban's comments about playing in Nashville weren't wrong at all -- especially before this year -- but he was smart enough not to express them until he was retired and making an opponent angry was someone else's problem.

I don't have a problem with it either, but if it fires up our players then I'm all for disliking the comment.

If we win, maybe some Vandy geek can hack into Auburn's jumbotron controls and replay Freeze's "lesser roster" comments.
