OLD VandyMania.com (ARCHIVE)

That is what made the run in 2019 so remarkable: regular season champs, SECT champs, National Champs. Just 4 years ago. Winning the SECT is a major accomplishment. Vandy has only done it 4 times. That will be this team’s lasting legacy. Honestly, I thought we would make a run for the NC before we lo...

Agreed. We definitely out-performed the talent level on this roster. That's a testament to the coaches. We've just had way too many misses in recruiting. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the new rules preventing contact with recruits prior to their junior year will save Corbs from himself....

It's amazing to think that an "institution of higher learning" could have even conceived the notion that an NIL could be set up as tax exempt.

I mean... obviously this is supplemental endorsement income.

I hope she followed that up with "which is pretty much the point of the game"... you know, for those of us who aren't in the know.

If we can't a great player in her on town (Nashville) then that will be a shame. I don't care about all the other teams that are listed we need to put every effort in to signing her if we are ever going to be a championship team.

Hops, from your summer/travel ball perspective, does the brand of bat make a significant difference? And what do you mean by "get hot as they age"? I'm assuming all of these high quality bats cost roughly the same; do the major college programs have to purchase the bats or do the companie...

Is he a walk on? Thought we were out of scholarships.

Nice blurb about Tasos Kamateros here: Tasos Kamateros, transferring from South Dakota to Vanderbilt: “He’s interesting because I think he’s a 5. I think that’s where he’s most comfortable. He’s really good in the paint, he’s really good at the rim. He’s not a 6-foot-9, 240-pound post. He’s probably...

https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/2023/06/09/wnba-commissioner-nashville-possible-expansion-city/70307029007/ I don't know about the economics, but this would be great news for real basketball. Best sports decision I ever made was buying season tickets to see the Houston Comets when they won ...

18 3 stars....we are the ONLY SEC team so far without a 4 star...Mizzu even has two 4-stars. You can say all you want about the star system but we rarely get the numbers the other SEC teams get. Only or mostly 3 stars will keep us at the bottom of the league....

I do not get this whole hazing culture that seems systemic between college sports and fraternities. I admit I am an old fart (72) but when I was in a fraternity and competing in college, hazing was doing pushups because you didn't know the answers to questions. There was NO hazing in my sport at VU....

In recent years, the Yanks have certainly focused on VandyBoys or Vandy commits in the early rounds. Volpe, their current ss, was a commit. Spencer Jones is tearing it up in the minors. Lombard is the latest Yankee first-rounder with strong Vandy ties. Good for the brand, I guess. I do wish more of ...

Playing Texas Tech in Texas?

Real neutral site, right?

Wow...another guard sigh...not heavily recruited an underwhelming 3-star... SV# SV# SV# Right, because our only successful players have been heavily recruited 4- or 5-star players. Look, we already had really mixed success over the years, not just in getting Top 100 recruits to come to Vanderbilt, ...

The reactions to Lea's "best program in the country" remark say more about college football culture than they do about Lea or Vanderbilt. "Best program" was automatically interpreted as most national championships - turning into another UGA or Bama - which does seem extremely unl...

And I'm guessing this is the solution for the speakers...

He wanted to play basketball instead.

Kids. What are you gonna do?

Something does not seem to quite add up. Strong graduated in 2000. 23 years ago. Yet he has not especially advanced as a coach. In no way do I question his ability as a player at Vandy. Or his dedication to Vandy, although he spent quite a few years elsewhere, for example as an assistant at Belmont...

Good point. Upward mobility (up to a point) is over-sold and over-sought. No one wants to live on the government dime or from paycheck to paycheck. But societal pressure to get that next promotion, to buy that bigger house or better car is intense. It's especially hard for me to understand with pro...
