I feel that I must give a quick shout-out to a fellow Vanderbilt alum, Brandt Snedeker, who is currently in the clubhouse on day 2 of the Masters with a score of -7, one shot off the leader (for historical purposes, that is Trevor Immelman). Congratulations to Brandt! All of Nashville is a-twitter.

Of course, with the increased attention to the young Snedeker, sometimes comes increased attention to his alma mater. Like this, from ESPN columnist and Masters blogger, Jason Sobel (see the full blog here):
1:12 p.m.: Brandt Snedeker hits his ball on 15 ... it's rolling toward the water ... and it stays up! And now Snedeker is running down the fairway! Seems like a good time for ...

- Dynamite, dynamite, when Vandy starts to fight!
V-A-N-D-Y! Vandy, Vandy, Go, Go, Go!
Um, no. No sir, Mr. Sobel. You went to Brandeis, right? This is a school with a recently-penned fight song, about which the song's co-writer stated the following, "But at Brandeis we also have a mission of social justice, and I wanted the lyrics to reflect a sense of winning greater battles in life."
That is lame. Therefore, I respectfully request that you not go about disparaging our awesome fight song about blowing shit up by incorrectly quoting its lyrics. It's "Vandy, Vandy, Oh hell yes!" I will be looking for a retraction.
And, that's all I got. I never thought I'd be writing about golf, but I felt I had to give Mr. Snedeker his due. Here's hoping he does well over the weekend--I could stand to see more golfers sprint down the fairway at Augusta National.
Hope all's well with you. Have a great weekend!
UPDATE: So, I just read a little further down in the Sobel blog and got to this:
11:15 a.m.: Posted this to my U.S. Open Round 1 Live Blog last year (What? You don't remember?), but with Vanderbilt alum Brandt Snedeker in the lead, it's worth passing along again. I give you the school fight song:
Fighting. I like it. Augusta National doesn't have much of that.
Fighting and spelling. I'm down with Vandy. Go, go, go, Snedeker!
OK, Sobel. I'll forgive the gaffe. It looks like you got the fight song from an official source or something. And you seem like an alright guy. I take back what I said about Brandeis (even though social justice themes in the fight song are still kinda lame).
Happy Weekend, Megs!

- Dynamite, dynamite, when Vandy starts to fight.
Down the field with blood to yield if need be save the shield.
If victory's won when battle's done, then Vandy's name will rise in fame.
Win or lose the fates will choose, but Vandy's game will be the same.
Dynamite, dynamite, when Vandy starts to fight!
V-A-N-D-Y! Vandy, Vandy, Go, Go, Go!
