While everyone is excited about this 4-0 start, it’s at least worth pointing out that Vanderbilt has played a bit of a role in making quite a few seasons for a lot of teams rotten over the years. Missouri included in that.
Last year Vandy beat Kentucky and the Wildcats had to announce the contract extension Mark Stoops got to cover up that bad news. In 2019 Vandy went 3-9 and they fired Derek Mason, but they beat Missouri! That loss to the Commodores was program changing. Despite Barry Odom’s faults he had things working and progressing and Mizzou was ranked 22nd in the country and were 5-1.
