The private school championships in Tennessee are played at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. I got to hold chains for one of the championship games last year. They were using the NCAA goalposts, but had the NFHS inbounds marks at 53-4. I feel that if they're going to use the college goalposts, they need to use the college field markings as well.
Of course, this weekend would have been an excellent time to put in NFHS goalposts at Vanderbilt Stadium, considering the old ones got torn down last weekend when Vandy ended their 3-year conference losing streak. The biggest shocker to me was that the Vanderbilt athletic department....oh, wait, they don't HAVE an athletic department any more....the intramural department had spare goalposts, as if the 100 or so Vanderbilt students that actually go to football games would tear them down! I loved the quote from one of Vandy's officials that "the student section started to fill up as word got around campus they were winning." Says it all right there.
Score prediction for this week: Vols 45, Vandy 17
