I was sorting through some stacks on my office desk and noticed the August 14 Sports Illustrated college football preview issue. It says with respect to KSU that "a non-conference schedule highlighted by Vanderbilt [9/16] could hold them back." In the South, we call that prescient.
I'll cut ya'll some slack for thinking Vandy was in Memphis but glad that so many found their way to Nashville anyway. Still, I don't understand how all that "gonna throttle them" talk came about. The Bama faithful aren't even seeming as confident as did the KSU herd.
