FP Indices

The FP is proud to add the Commodore Count to its arsenal of indices as of today.

The Commodore Count measures the current state of the Vanderbilt football program. Allegiance to the Commodores is, to put it lightly, a labor of love, a sacrifice of common sense and act of unadulterated volition requiring tolerance to pain and discomfort. Nonetheless, there are both highs and lows that result from following Vanderbilt football (and other sports), and the Count is intended to assess these milestones. Here are the Commodore Count levels:

• Uncharted territory (12): Peace on earth. Poverty and disease wiped out.
  
• Seven wins (11):
  
• Bowl eligible (10): The promised land!
  
• Dores defeat Vols (9): Tears of joy flow freely.
  
• Dores pull upset (8): Yah-hoo!
  
• Dores win (7): Hallelujah!
  
• Vols lose (6): There is justice in this world.
  
• Dores fold in 4th quarter (5): Sigh. (repeat)
  
• Dores whipped from the start (4): Saturday.
  
• Loss to Temple (3): Oh, the humanity!
  
• Program disbanded (2): Mercy has its price.
  
• Loss to I-AA team (1): Suicide watch commences.

The Commodore Count joins the Wagon Watch and the VOL Index as the FP's rating systems of record. May it always be high and the Wagon Watch always be low. Let the VOL Index fluctuate as only it can. Go Dores!!
