Whatever gets your mind off the fact that you're Vandy

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Vandy get in trouble with the NCAA for using Anchor Down on their unis? I believe the rule is unless it's the team name or promotes patriotism you can't have slogans on your uniforms. So why in the hell is Vandy still trying to use it?!?:confused:

Just saw on Nashville news vandie unveiled their new uni's. Stupid as hell. The helmet has a anchor on the side instead of the star, with a chain running up the back and down to the anchor, kind of mimicing our checkerboard design in a way on the back of the helmet. Then the slogan anchor down on the legs of the uni's. Look's ridiculous. I don't know how to post any links like a lot of you do ( I am old and tech challenged ), but it was on WSMV Channel 4. You might find it worth a view to see this latest vandie joke. All 9 of their fans were there along with the coaching staffs families in line.

They got in trouble not for just using it, but for using it in place of the player's last name. I believe NCAA rules state you have to use the player's last name or nothing at all. It can be on other areas of the uniform.

Not sure how a chain linked to an anchor mimics a checkerboard pattern...but yeah, it's been about 4-5 years so clearly it's time for Vandy to change their helmets again.

Don't really see why they need an anchor and chain. A brick on twine is about all you need to secure a dinghy.

Not that bad, honestly. Would rather see individual numbers in place of the classic star and V on the sides, though.

And I've never understood the "anchor down" mantra. At face value, doesn't that imply that your ship is going nowhere? On second thought, it fits perfect. Carry on Vandy.

All right. They are so smart...just ask them; they'll tell you, or don't ask; they'll tell you. How do they justify using those two slogans?

ANCHOR DOWN
To those unaware of the intricacies of nautical travel, “anchor down” means stop. A ship may drop anchor for a number of reasons, perhaps to await passage of a tempest and or allow the crew to rest.

DEEP WATER

› to be in or get into serious trouble

Hmmm. On second thought those two slogans are very applicable for Vandy. Of course they have about as much to do with anything nautical as the "Commodore" did.
