Conversations with Commodores ... Dare Odeyingbo
Dare was a force for the Black and Gold 2015-2018 playing for Coach Mason. Playing alongside younger brother Dayo for few seasons, the Odeyingbo brothers were tough on the defense. Having prepped at Cistercian Prep in Irving, Texas, Dare was a multi-sport athlete, including amassing 5,456 rushing yards and 74 total TDs during four-year varsity career. After Vanderbilt, Dare went undrafted in the NFL Draft, but signed with the Buccaneers and Bengals before calling it a career.

Just in its fourth year as a school, the Northview football program sought to establish itself in the Wiregrass amongst very tough rival schools. Coach Harry Wayne Parrish and his young coaching staff knew they had a lot of talent on the team, but weren’t sure how well they would respond to the challenges ahead. Coming off a 7-3 season in 1980, the pre-season 8th ranked Cougars were looking to ...

My frat brother's father played for VU and also married a girl from Ward-Belmont, relocated to her home state Texas. I think the bakery referenced make the famous Christmas Fruit Cakes

    So glad I found this. Healey is one of the best people I’ve come to know. Met him in dental school. We were both second career guys. Quickly realized the oldest guy in the class was the best athlete. We still play a ton of golf together and take a buddies trip with him every May. Super humble. I have to do the bragging for him when we are together with other folks. 😉 A great friend, great person with a wonderful family.

    If i recall correctly Northview had Opelika's number during the 1990s. If im not mistaken Opelika played them 8 times that decade. Correction 9 times with one of the meetings coming in the 2nd round of the 6A playoffs. The record was 7-2 Northview on top. Seem like we always played them 3rd game of the season as far as the schedule. I don't know why we struggled so bad with Northview but we did

    My brother and I grew up in Dothan, and enjoyed playing basketball 🏀 at westgate. I left Dothan in 98’ and my brother left in 2001’ but we have great memories going to rip hews stadium to watch my cousins play: Tony Donaldson and Edgar Walker play for Dothan high. I still my aunt (which she was in at at Northview then) taking me to a game where I first saw Lawrence Dawsey play. Didn’t know you were the QB. Oh by the way I thought David was a good QB. He had a good arm. I still remember that game in 93’ when all David did was handed the ball off to Kareece Davis and Kendrick Jernigan and they just ran it down Dothan high throat. I remember leaving that game early 😂

    I was fascinated when I found out a guy who put together recruiting rankings was going to put a real team together, to see whether it translates into real life. Of course 5 stars aren't going to go to Vanderbilt any time soon, but if he's right about what he used to say on his show about how he identified under the radar players (such as guys who played other sports) they should be able to get some good teams. For most of Vanderbilt's football history, they've been a real life example of what it would be like if a group of 5 or FCS team played a power conference schedule.

    Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I enjoy there interviews. My father was a Vanderbilt alumnus from Chattanooga and a member of the National Commodore Club during the 90s. We went to many games together and I grew up showing my gold. I’ll never forget Homecoming’91 and that missed UGA field goal. They had two chances due to a penalty. Our seat were in that south end zone. The weather was perfect. It was the same day UT came back to beat Notre Dame. I remember the fans collectively cheering as the PA announcer gave the score (at the time ND was way ahead). Also the Ole Miss game in I think’92 or ‘93. A decisive win at night for VU. We stayed at the team hotel, the Holiday Inn off old hickory in Brentwood. We got to high five the players and coach D. Such a thrill, even at 46 now when I think about it. I’d love to hear a complete panel discussion on Hell Buckle. Digs talking about it made me laugh out loud.
