The historic season of Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller added a new highlight on Sunday. Fuller announced on Twitter that she’s taking part in President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration on Wednesday, calling it “an honor to be invited to participate in one of America’s great traditions.” She’s expected to speak during the inauguration of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, who will become the first female vice president in American history. Fuller taped a video for the… Source link

The shotgun football kicking career of Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller appears to have come to a close, as the Commodores’ game at Georgia on Saturday has been canceled. Vanderbilt has been dealing with COVID-19 issues, and the game is the last one on its schedule. The Commodores will finish the season 0-9. For Fuller, who didn’t join the team until a few days before Thanksgiving, this presumably marks the elimination of her final chance to kick in a college football game. She appeared in two… Source link

Sarah Fuller is not going to play in the NFL. That didn’t mean the NFL, and the football industry that surrounds it, wasn’t watching as the Vanderbilt women’s soccer goalie became the first female to play in a major conference college game when she served as the Commodores’ placekicker on Saturday. The NFL is played by men. Through its 100-plus-year history, it has also almost exclusively been coached by men, run by men and had almost every tentacle of its business dominated by men.

It’s easy to view this college football season as a prolonged battle of attrition. For the second consecutive week, we saw 18 games canceled or postponed from the weekend’s schedule. For the season, that number of disrupted games has hit 100. We entered this week with the focus on what wouldn’t be there — Alabama coach Nick Saban missing from the sidelines at the Iron Bowl, Ohio State disappearing from the schedule and games called off everywhere from Tallahassee to Boise. “Every… Source link

I woke up today and knew it was going to be one of those days — antsy, hopeless, the days you hope the crying comes sooner rather than later so you can just get on with it. But I hadn’t cried in ages. Not since the day before my uncle died on Oct. 16. Didn’t cry at the viewing. Didn’t cry at the funeral. Didn’t cry when I spoke. Not like the kid in the meme, holding back a flood, or like a pipe trying not to burst. I was begging myself to cry, to “process” this the “right”… Source link

Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller made history on Saturday afternoon by becoming the first woman to appear in a Power Five college football game. Fuller normally serves as a goalkeeper on Vanderbilt’s women’s soccer team, which she led to the Southeastern Conference title last weekend. She was added to the Commodores’ roster after the team’s other kickers were forced into COVID-19 quarantine, rendering them unavailable for Saturday’s matinee at Missouri. The Power Five is comprised of… Source link

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice filed an antitrust case against Google. This is the most significant antitrust case filed since the government suit against Microsoft in 1998, and it also ranks with the most important antitrust suits of all time, including Standard Oil and AT&T. The move by a conservative Republican administration to take on one of the largest companies in the world is a repudiation of the libertarian ideology that has dominated American politics since the 1980s.
