He may have changed his thinking since the date of the linked article, which is October 7, 2022.

Baseball is full of statistics and adages. An adage that comes to mind after tonight's game relates to inevitable poor hitting performances and poor pitching performances. When they happen, it is better that they be combined in a single game so they cause one loss instead of two.

Isn’t the ump in the outfield supposed to make a safe or out call on the catch? Did he? What did he call? On the quickly shown, fuzzy replay from LF to resume the telecast in bottom 6th, the 2nd & 3rd base umps didn't look to leave their spots or make a call on the fly ball. The 1st base ump ap...

Contrary to some, I think the tweet he sent out is actually good. Starting with beguilement (a real Vanderbilt word ) that translated means "distraction." All the talk by the 95% and especially the 5% are distractions. Let us hope he stays and recruits well in the portal. This has become ...

He apparently thinks it's about 94.2%.

Number 4 nationally would be a good spot to occupy in the NCAA Tournament bracket.

On average about $250,000 annually.

VU has moved from #4 to #3 in the composite rankings.

I am not in favor of using the identity one is born with for segregating awards. Historically speaking, those awards were already de facto segregated. I don’t see any problem with it whatsoever. But you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Historically speaking, major league baseball was segrega...

Repetitively saying "like" also is annoying, right?

. . . . another day begins.

I think everyone should be required to say "it is what it is" before every statement they make. That way we'd be sure that everything is what it is. And there are no instances when it isn't-you know- what it is. If i knew who started that, why i'd... to the moon! So true. "It is ____...

Do the DLU-Belmont-APSU-Tech, etc. coaches just appreciate being invited to play a highly ranked DI team? Odds are they will lose, and very possibly lose badly. Or is it personal: that Corbin is just so well liked and thought of? I truly don't know the answer, if there is one. I suspect the answer ...

And next weekend we have a home series against an opponent that is off to a 1 and 5 SEC start. Advice about making hay comes to mind.

I hope he returns soon, but if we can continue to average 13 runs in SEC games he can take his time recovering.

Obsession appears to run rampant among UUT apologists.

Now let us hope that they run their very good coach off: my hope is that Barnes has a huge buy out but in their infinite wisdom and incredible impatience plus short-sightedness, they fire Barnes and owe him a bundle. I have always liked Barnes and thought he did not belong at UT - too good for them...

UUT bows out.

Vanderbilt is 7 and 0 in games that my 14-month-old granddaughter has attended. She will be there tomorrow night. Are you taking her with you to Las Vegas? Unfortunately my granddaughter had to leave Memorial Gym with her parents late in the first half when VU lead 27 to 22 (which was before they s...
