True, it’s impossible to judge coaches from different eras. Skinner, in particular, because he coached before Black athletes were such a dominant force in our conference. But I’ll say this about Skinner’s teams. He coached the best passing teams of any VU team that I’ve ever seen. And his teams coul...

“Judging” might be a little harsh. I prefer to look at it as a polite inquiry.

Is there an extra charge to access ESPN+?

Yes, there is an additional charge. Most of the Dores’ mid-week games were on espn+. Did you miss those?

Sneds made the cut at the Memorial. Well done!

Smith good. I like him at SF and Lubin at PF. Staaaartas: PG - Manjon SG - Lawrence SF - Smith/Taylor PF - Lubin/Smith C - Kamateros/Dort probably will be a mix of those at starting 5. If Lubin turns out to be the guy in the highlights and Colin Smith picks it up from last year we are a tournament ...

Woo hoo! God bless us every one.

Thanks for that. He’s been through a lot, and probably doesn’t need the money. But he’s fighting to do what he loves. I admire the heck out of him and wish him the best. A wonderful ambassador for our university.

BDR-dore, the age old issue with Hawkins Field is that most all of the infield seats are sold out, but people, for some reason, won’t use their tickets or give them to someone to use. It’s the most ridiculous thing that many of the infield seats sit empty weekend after weekend. It looks terrible on...

Personally, I hope he goes somewhere else after all this. He's not THAT good. You must not watch any basketball. How can anyone say that. Tyrin is extremely proficient at getting to the rim and finishing. Has his own rhythm in that manner like Pippen did. It was kind of unique. Outside of that he i...

Personally, I hope he goes somewhere else after all this. He's not THAT good. This is a horrible take. Without Lawrence, we have NIT level talent. With him we should make the tournament. Why would you not want to have someone who helps the team make the touranment? Yah like dude is just tryna negot...

As I’ve posted previously, I’ll believe it once he steps onto the court in black and gold. Because really, what percent of MBB players who enter the portal come back “home”? If/when he does return I’ll be as happy as the proverbial clam.

Given who our coach is, I think we will end up fairly stout on defense. I think we have a perception of Stack's teams being defensive oriented, but that just hasn't been the case. We finished last year ranked #247 in adjusted defensive efficiency. The year before was #78 and the year prior #241. Ha...

You guys are engaging in behavior that some would call “wallowing in your opponents’ misery”. Since we do more than our fair share of wallowing in many sports (mostly football), this behavior is perfectly acceptable, and sure is fun.

Vandy/14. Where’s my trophy? Where are the accolades?

Let's hope that winning the SEC tournament gives our team confidence, but not satisfaction. In any case, it is remarkable that only 9 days ago, Vanderbilt was trailing Arkansas 8-2 in the 8th inning and appeared to be on the verge of being swept (again), and there appeared to be little chance that ...

This was a masterfully managed tournament by our skipper.

Schultz de MAN in this tourney. Bodes well for our trip to Omaha I think.

Some piss-poor AB’s in the 7th.

LaNeve blasts a 3 run homer - gives us a 3-1 lead after 2. Boki done after 2. Reilly is out there. Boki threw strikes. But 45 pitches in 2 innings. Again, can’t use Reilly for too long. I’d love to win this thing - but we can’t risk next week… My guess is that no Vandy pitcher today goes more than ...

Now THAT was a bomb!!
