ESPN.com's Chris Low gives his "Key Stretch" for Vanderbilt

And, as almost always seems to be the case, it's early. In his blog post this morning, Low looks at Vanderbilt's first 4 games as critical to their season. While he doesn't come out and say it, Low thinks if Vanderbilt is going to have any chance at going to a bowl (yes, I said it), they need to finish no worse than 2-2 in this stretch, with the most likely wins coming against our out-of-conference opponents Northwestern and UConn. If we should steal a game in the SEC, all the better, but Vanderbilt's formula for success this year (like most), is take advantage of non-conference games to get to at least 3 wins, and try and make something happen against the SEC west. This year's SEC West slate is less cooperative than usual with road games at Ole Miss and Arkansas and a home date against LSU. We'll delve more into the schedule in the next few weeks, but I truly think Vanderbilt's 2 game road trip early in the year (at Ole Miss and at UConn) will tell us how soon VSLNation will be asking: "is it basketball season, yet."

6 wins? He's tripping.

Was it microdot or blotter?
