But they played in the same century as Matt Frieje, who made the first team. What does that have to do with anything? Matt played from 2000-2004. So while you are correct technically, the post if for 21st century players, which Matt played three seasons. Cox, Goheen and Perdue definitely did not. O...

Watching Stanford/Wake Forest…... It seems the big difference between those teams and the Dores is the bat. Simply put, they are better at the plate than Vandy. We may have been able to overcome our hitting issues with healthy pitching, but the injury bug prevented that from happening. The Dores we...

1) Phil Cox (SG)
2) Barry Goheen (PG)
3) Jeff Taylor (PF)
4) AJ Ogilvy (PF)
5) Will Perdue (C)

Three of those players didn't play in the 21st century.

Anyone remember what the line was before last years game? From a CBS article: "Vanderbilt will be looking to open the 2022 season on a positive note when it faces Hawaii on the road on Saturday night in the Week 0 nightcap. The Commodores finished 2-10 under head coach Clark Lea last year, whi...

It is possible (theoretically at least) that the player's support and endorsement of the charity could bring in enough additional donations to justify his compensation. The test is supposed to be that the money paid to the athlete is "reasonable compensation" paid by the business or charit...

I am not (very) superstitious, but if I were I would think it is bad luck to focus on rivals' problems when you are surrounded by your own.

All the more reason to listen to Andrew Allegretta's radio broadcast.
In some respects baseball games (if you cannot attend them in person) are paired better with radio than television.

I will be there with my wife in our regular season seats in section B. That section has a lot of visitors' fans in most regular season games. I hope Vandy fans do a better job showing up this weekend.

I see a path to Omaha, but playing some other league champions. Seeded # 6 overall. RPIs VandyBoys 7 Oregon 34 Xavier 44 EIU 114 and around the corner... DBU16 Okie State 17 Washington 36 ORU 76 SEC network show "road to Omaha" consensus is that of top 6 seeds, VU has the hardest games. W...

I would go easy on the VU pitchers, let the offense have at it, and hope for a slugfest win.

All is right with the world.

I hope you are right, but UUT was #9 in the College Baseball Composite Rankings before to day's game.

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.

When did we vote Arkansas our most hated team? I'm guessing this refers to an awful twitter feed called "Big Game Boomer" that specializes in creating highly inaccurate lists of things like biggest rivalries/best stadiums/worst stadiums in college sports. A few months ago it listed Arkans...

You are correct. I was looking at the SEC sit which, for some damn reason, gives times in the eastern time zone.

When you live in flyover county, you have to learn to interpret.

My ticket indicates that tonight's game is at 6:00pm CDT.

Florida is the team to be worried about, not sc…imo I believe Vanderbilt's goal should be to win as many of the remaining games as possible and finish the pre-NCAA tournament portion of the season in the top 8 nationally. Teams to be "worried about" are the teams that can play the biggest...

I have it on very good authority that several of Charleston's posts were pinned up on the bulletin boards in the Vols' locker room and, for good measure, the dugout too. 8-) You have removed any fig leaf of doubt regarding your fandom. Congratulations on your team's three wins this weekend. Thanks ...

You have removed any fig leaf of doubt regarding your fandom. Congratulations on your team's three wins this weekend.

Only a week ago, VU beat #6 South Carolina, solidifying its number 4 ranking. Since that time they've lost 4 games, 3 of them in humiliating fashion, and all of them to teams that were unranked at the time. (I'm making the brave assumption that they won't overcome the 9-0 deficit.) I don't think I'...

What did Moore do? I turned it off in the 5th…. Ndorefin has the straight account. The longer, earlier post has a lot of extraneous comment that rockets past the normal spectrum of rivalry hatred and into the realm of the pathological. Pathological? This is a sports site, right,? Fortunately, for m...
