I LOVE IT!

I can't name any schools, but I feel confident that we're probably not the only school in this situation given the craziness out there. By mid-April there were at least 6 mid-major conference that had lost between 30 and 40 percent of their roster to the portal. per a recent article: According to a...

Do you think that making the NCAA tournament is a pipe dream, and that only with extreme luck we can get there?

I think a lot of pieces have to fall into place. I think we should have been selected this year!

One might think that if a major D1 college player is good enough to make the NBA, he'd focus on his relationship with the school, teammates, classmates, learning a little bit in a course or two, and maximizing his skills under a solid coach, knowing he's going to cash in shortly anyway. No need to d...

In the G league team basketball may be non-existent. Lawrence may miss those QMB screens.

Look at Don out here trying to get everyone all stirred up by posting this on the football board without any context in the subject heading...

It would be really good to know what happened. I am a Stack supporter but something doesn't add up. You finish the season one of the hottest teams in the country, you are returning an all senior starting 5 (Manjon, Laurence (senior in years on campus), Wright, Stute, and QMB) which would be one of t...

Honestly, this is hard to take. This school and staff has put a lot into Tyrin, and he treats us this way? Free education at a top 20 university for one. Lots of hours working with him to develop his skills. Got him a lot of air time and plenty of promotional work by the Vandy marketing department. ...

I thought the site might have entered the transfer portal, or at least attended a Bruce Pearl barbecue.

Look I want Tyrin back - absolutely no reservations about that. Even beyond that though, this NIL crap is the crap future we face and VU has to find a way to deal with that. It is hard for me to fathom that Vandy , even fully accepting the academic priority of most wealthy supporters, cannot find a ...

Remember when- this is probably not the right time for levity, or maybe- CTC used to list pitchers' names as leadoff (or cleanup?) hitters? Those were carefree days when we all were young and full of vim & vigor.

Explains the photo I saw this evening of Bruce Pearl. He had a big grin on his face, an open checkbook in one hand, and a binky in the other hand,

Much-needed news:

I do think the Florida Atlantic model is consistent with Stack's vision of waves of guys playing tough defense and wearing teams down. While we have shown signs of wanting to do this in the past, we have not had enough players to actually do it. This squad seems pretty deep on athletes - we just nee...

Evaluating Stack, no one can argue he's giving less than a 100% for Vanderbilt. I'm grateful for him.

Room on the roster? Sure. Room on the court, not so much.

Yes, you are.

Ump called strikes on both Schreck & Noland this inning that were in the same spot that he didn't call strike 3 for Schultz in the top half of the inning. Very frustrating.

The early evidence indicates that last night's 8h inning was as positive a pivot for the VandyBoys as the the 9th inning of game 1 in Knoxville was negative. I hope it stays that way for the next four or five weeks.
