Not with a bang nor a whimper but with a pair of uncharacteristic defensive penalties with a punt that bounced off safety Paul Anderson and ended up as a Vanderbilt touchdown and with a Dominique Davis pass for a game-ending interception. Throw the mix into the pot and you have a 16-14 Vanderbilt victory in yesterday’s Music City Bowl which produced two distinctly different reactions. For Jeff Jagodzinski’s Eagles it was the end of an eight-game bowl winning streak which had been tops in the nation and left a bitter taste despite a respectable nine-win season. For Vanderbilt playing before a partisan crowd on a 39-degree afternoon at LP Field it was the Commodores’ first winning season (7-6) since 1982 and their first bowl victory since the 1955 Gator Bowl. All of this unfolded in a bizarre sequence of events that turned the momentum against the Eagles (9-5) and their small group of fans among the crowd of 54250 when Vanderbilt’s Bryant Hahnfeldt booted a 45-yard field goal (his third of the game) with 3:12 remaining to give the Commodores a 16-14 lead. The Eagles lost despite holding the Commodores to no offensive touchdowns 200 total yards and 1 of 15 third-down conversions.

Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival
JamBase CA
Drawing a crowd of over 3000 bluegrass and blues loving music fans the inaugural fest was not simply a celebration of the traditions of bluegrass and blues music but also an opportunity to examine how the forms have evolved since the days of Bill Monroe and Robert Johnson. It had been Raspatello’s dream for years – a festival dedicated to honoring the past present and future of two genres of music that have come to embody the true spirit of the American people. This is music that understands our struggles but also reminds us that there is always sunshine after the rain. Throwing a festival is no small task. It can be an intimidating venture; festies are high-risk endeavors that demand a serious commitment and willingness to face every one of the unexpected obstacles and challenges that will undoubtedly surface along the way.
