Thanks for the shout out, Randy. I remember that day very well. The makeshift studio and everyone pitching in to help get guests and information. If was quite a rush.
@brianmctaggart Man, that's terrible news. I loved watching him as a player, and then was fortunate to cover the Astros while he was managing. Gar was as real and genuine as they come. RIP.
@DanWolken@YahooSports Couple of thoughts.
Whit is not a strong strategic, game day coach. Utes lost quite a few games because of game/clock management.
He is a strong culture coach. But that was largely with LDS and Polynesian kids who were willing to accept discipline. Likely to be different at UM.
If Vanderbilt was instead OKLAHOMA or TEXAS or ALABAMA, the Commodores would be in. It's the old "label on the soup can" problem which killed TCU in 2014.
@DanWolken Mostly eye test from watching multiple games of all these teams, but Vandy seems like the most competitive, most interesting, of all the “bubble teams”.
