NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Vanderbilt Commodores need two victories in their final two games to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. With both games at home, they know exactly what they cant do.Start slowly.The Commodores fell behind 19-0 last week at Missouri and wound up losing 26-17 . That dropped Vanderbilt to 4-6 overall and 1-5 in the Southeastern Conference, and coach Derek Mason said Tuesday he believes his team got a great reminder that they arent built to spot opponents a lead.We have to play with a better sense of urgency in these ballgames, Mason said. Every ballgame that weve played in has come down to a possession or two. When you have ballgames that are that tight you have to make sure that the football is good and youre executing well that you look to finish.The Commodores have been so close with each of their SEC losses with the game at Missouri coming by their largest margin. They answered with 17 points as Kyle Shurmur threw for 252 yards, his second-best performance this season. But Shurmur also was intercepted twice, and it just wasnt enough.Vanderbilts APR is so good that the Commodores could be a possible bowl pick if they could reach five victories. Bowl eligibility isnt a topic Mason is addressing with his Commodores, focusing instead on just trying to win Saturday night when they host Mississippi (5-5, 2-4). Vanderbilt wraps up the regular season Nov. 26 hosting in-state rival Tennessee.Even splitting these final games would put Mason his best record yet at Vandy. Mason isnt changing his approach.Weve got to stay in the here and now, Mason said. For these guys, social medias out there. They know whats at stake. I just try to talk about the mundane thing of doing the every day things that it takes to win. So thats putting good work on top of good work stacking good practices on top of good practices and getting ready to play a good Ole Miss football team.Ole Miss is coming off a big 29-28 upset at then-No. 8 Texas A&M in freshman quarterback Shea Pattersons debut. The Rebels have scored first in nine of their 10 games, and Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze has not lost to Mason each of the past two seasons.But the Rebels only won 27-16 at Oxford last season, and Freeze has seen enough of Mason to respect the coach in beating Vandy each of the past two seasons.Hes given us problems every year, Freeze said of Mason. Hes very good. Hes a very good defensive coach, and his kids play fundamentally extremely well. They play in the right spots. Theyre fundamentally sound. So, youve got to be careful against them not to get one play behind in the calls. Every call you have, we need to have answers for what we do.The one answer Vanderbilt defensive lineman Adam Butler is sure of is that the Commodores have no excuse not to be ready for kickoff.That cant happen these next two games, Butler said. These next two games we have to be ready and make sure were ready and come out with that good start.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cullen Gillaspia Texans Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.

All four phone lines at the Ruths Chris Steakhouse in Ann Arbor, Michigan, lit up as the Saturday night dinner rush was dying down, and they have rarely stopped blinking since.General manager Buzz Goebel has Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan Wolverines 78-0 win over?Rutgers?to thank for that.The restaurant posted a promotion on its Facebook page saying all diners in the next week would be given a percentage discount equal to the margin of victory if the Wolverines won the game in New Jersey.At the last minute before publishing the ad this past Thursday, Goebel, whose grandfather was a captain on Michigans 1920 football team, decided to cap the discount at 50 percent to be safe.That turned out to be a good move.Michigans offense raced past 50 points in the third quarter on its way to the 78-point win -- the programs biggest blowout victory in more than 75 years.The Facebook ad went viral as the game wound down, and Goebels staff has been working hard ever since.We were completely full through Thursday by 9 oclock this morning, Goebeel said.dddddddddddd Im thinking, well I guess Im not getting my day off [Sunday]. Im thinking this might not be what we were expecting.He said every reservation slot this week has been booked and he had to turn away a line outside the door when the restaurant opened at 4 p.m. Sunday. Extra wait staff and other employees have been called in from a nearby location of the chain in Grand Rapids to help deal with the rush.While the promotion will be great for Ann Arbor-area carnivores (a typical meal for two at a Ruths Chris location can easily top $100), Goebel said because alcohol was excluded in the promotion he thinks theyll still make money off the deal. The location pulls in $100,000 to $175,000 weekly, and Goebel said he expects theyll exceed those numbers this week.I love this, Goebel said. Its kind of scary, but you cant buy this kind of advertising. If we execute perfectly, were in good shape. ' ' '
