You know why people in east TN pull for ut?

They can spell "u t" but they can't spell Vanderbilt.

Dollander isn't very sharp today, and since the 1st, UT hitters look a bit befuddled by scrawny (but very good) Stanford pitcher. Vols have figured the skinny guy out. Bunch of singles, a walk and a sac fly have chased him with 2 outs and the bases loaded in top 5th, tied 4-4. Yikes! Stanford coach...

Zoolander left down 4-0 after three. If Stanford finishes the deal he will finish the season a pedestrian 7-7 for the season.

I saw that somewhere. And with the 6-0 win by LSU, the streak continues!! :lol: I think the last time they won a game in Omaha was 2001. That's over 8,000 days. 8000+ days... well maybe Stanford can pin one more on that ignominious streak... GO STANFORD!! https://baseball.flightscope.com/wp-content...

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

I saw that somewhere. And with the 6-0 win by LSU, the streak continues!! :lol: I say 6-0 because when the uut guy flung his bat down and walked out of the batters box, under the new rules that should have been a delay of game and automatic third strike, inning over. They get away with so much crap ...

Despite the rumors that SDSU and SMU could end up in the Pac... (someday)

Right now SDSU having notified the MWC that they are out... maybe jumped the gun?

Anybody else hearing this?

Corey Smith? And Dan Langhi played in 2000. 21st century? Also, if we deduct for fewer years we need to reward for more years. So Josh Henderson, with a 9 year career, has to be our center. Clyde Lee - C Billy McCaffrey - G Jan VanBredaKolff - G Bob Warren - F Charles Davis - F If we are taking cre...

We’ve talked about the transfers and what to expect from them next year, but what about the freshmen (Isaiah West, Jason Rivera-Torres, Malik Presley, JaQualon Presley, Carter Lang)? Does anybody have information, maybe from premium sites, of what their games are like? It appears there is a lot of ...

Anybody remember 2012 when we got swept early by Stanford, Oregon, lost to Belmont, lost 2 of 3 to San Diego College, (all of those at home) and then swept at Florida.... before guys started being allowed to swing at good pitches? Corbs was on the radio (560 a.m.) during the worst of that early seas...

… because despite the 42-20 W-L record and scoring 50% more runs than our opponents, Vanderbilt only won the home run derby 76-74. VU season stats: https://vucommodores.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023-Vanderbilt-Baseball-Overall-3.pdf Some of our pitchers were too susceptible to giving up the g...

Wake Forest odd-on fave to win Omaha. LSU and Florida the only others listed close.

People might be underestimating Carter Lang.

His offer list included:

Stanford
Ole Miss
Virginia Tech
Texas A&M
Illinois

And some of the other usual suspects.

At around 6-10/250, he shouldn't get sand kicked in his face.

Two ways to look at this besides the juiced ball....

A) Every starter but one for Wake hits in the .300's

B) The top two guys combined for 54 dingers and counting this season (doesn't sound normal)

So, Wake had 9 homers in the game, one guy had three by himself.

How many have they hit out today? The one kid has 70, a new ACC record.

Not sure how many of those would leave the yard in Omaha.

Let me amend my first "ultra-bust" post. You guys remember that guy that was Phillip Rivers younger brother? The one that VANDERBUILDER said would be a star in the NFL after he left Vandy? Not only did he average an interception for every 8 pass attempts for VU... but according to his NFL....

Biggest bust? I'll go with a real darkhorse....Mike Bryant, OL LaVergne Tn.

Did nothing at VU, transferred to ut-Martin and didn't even start there until his final season.

What great insight to their success!! They are one school that I never considered to ever have a top notch program and always thought Duke would eventually rival our success.I find it interesting that their 3 transfers came from private universities, much like our Duke transfer…..it’s a wonder he d...

Congrats to Southern Miss and best of luck in the Super Regionals. All the way to Omaha!!

This is a great looking group of newcomers (HS signees included). Lot of versatility. The big guys can shoot and the guards can rebound. Ven-Allen Lublin looks to be an exception to that rule but sounds like an athletic hustle player in the mold of James Siakam. Feeling optimistic. Taylor is a care...
