GAMEDAY Open Live Thread: Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss
The Vanderbilt Commodores (1-3, 0-2 in SEC) visit the Ole Miss Rebels (2-3, 1-1 SEC) tonight here at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in a key inter-divisional SEC battle where both squads need a win.
For the Commodores, it might not be a must win scenario here tonight, but it makes it difficult to see how they would get to six wins after a loss against the Rebels.
