VANDERBILT HAS A HOSPITAL?
Beersworthy! My checkbook, please.We thought they only cared about football. Vanderbilt is investing $50 million in new facilities over the offseason, presumably looking up from their morning FT, stretching their polo-toned legs ahead of themselves, and signing an enormous checkbook held on a silver platter by a white-gloved man with a charmingly English name like Nigel or Beersworthy.
The fundraising is not a surprise: they're smart people, Bobby Johnson's had the longest sustained period of relative success in recent program history (you're still 1911's bitch, Bobby!) and they want to strike a competitive balance between academics and competition, blah blah blah. Good for them. The funny part comes from the Orlando Sentinel's blog post on the story:
Because, after all, having the best hospital in Tennessee in more important to Vandy than having the best football team in the state.
You sick, sick bastards, you. Call us when you get your priorities in line, Vanderbilt. Sick people don't win football games. Champions do.

Laugh now, Orson, but Vandy will have the last laugh 20 years down the line once their new hospital starts pumping out the Jay Cutler clones, sans diabeetus.
Let’s just hope that Skip Bayless’s DNA gets mixed with a baboon’s somewhere down the line.

“Sick people dont win football games. Champions do.”
You say that now, but Les Miles is a sick, sick puppy. Just ask Haley Fontaine.

Hmm…. “best football in Tennessee”. Looks like Vandy is ceding the Southeast to Emory. When it comes to football or medicine, never let it be said that Central University doesn’t know its place.

I really wish wearing a Top Hat and Monocle would be socially acceptable again. I’d love to try and pull that off.

Kyle King’s daughter’s initials may spell out “ERK”, but my firstborn is definitely now going to be named “Beersworthy”. Assuming of course that my wife vetoes “Knowshon(a) Stafford McMaconDawg”.

Vanderbilt: Where C+ girls are treated like pinups

Just because Vanderbilt is concentrating on health care doesn’t mean they can rest easy. We’re sinking millions into our medical center here at UAB, too, and if the big Southeastern hospital rumble ever comes to pass, watch your backs, Vandy, ’cause School of Medicine Dean Robert R. Rich, M.D., is bringing a trident.

I’d rather they kick a little money to football, at least. I mean, you can get sick people from anywhere these days.

#1, no super fast growth serum? We have to wait 20 years. Vandy needs to spend more money on that side of R and D or at least take the embryos to Oak Ridge.

So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their starting QB doesn’t break his legs or fumble on his own 5, who do you think they’re praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Steve Spurrier, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you’re looking for God, he was in Vanderbilt Stadium on October 20, 2007, and he doesn’t like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.

Does this include sessions at the Bosley Clinic for Kevin Stallings?

We Methodists take our football seriously, so we split with Vandy in 1914. And so then came the relationship with SMU. You see what money buys, or did, in the 80s. I have no explnantion for Emory, also a school supported in part by the Methodist church.

I’m pretty sure that already happened. At birth. It would explain so much.

Okay, Brock Williams, justify yourself as King of The Candy B-Ball Program. How can you allow such decadent improvements, being from Lenwah, NC?
No way I allow you to be a groomsman in my next failed marriage without justification.
Proper. Yo.

IANAL, but ‘law school hot’ always looked pretty hot to me.
