Great quote

[commadore]

"whoever walks into Vanderbilt better pack a lunch."
Spoken by Indiana State's coach. He also said he thought they could have won 5 or 6 of the other regionals, but that Vanderbilt has "a very good team."
That is pretty strong praise.

Indiana State had some great starting pitching in the two games against us. They also took the early lead in both games. They are a very good team, but Vandy just has so many ways to win these games.

Nice praise from them (plus it was cool seeing Larry Bird baseball pictures during the telecast).

In Southern, it means pack your lunch because you are going to get a LONG beating, unless you are more than ready.

Old school Southern is "pack your lunch and say goodbye"

Got it. Thanks. Didn’t think it was a reference to our concessions.
