A man’s reach must exceed his grasp …. (Browning)

Lea’s goal is noble as hell, and worthy as hell, but basically un-graspable. I think deep down we all know that.

I call bovine feces. In 2001, would you have ever bet we would have two national championships, two runners up, and five trips to the college world series, let a lone a state of the art baseball facility?

same premise. The baseball program was in as bad a shape as football when the assistant coach from Clemson took over.

I haven't read this story, but if (I say, when) the Commodores begin to turn the tables a bit on the rest of the SEC, Coach Lea and Vanderbilt will suddenly become one of the most interesting stories in college football. Here's a program that is trying to pick itself up off the mat and doing it the slow, steady, methodical way, instead of going for the quick fix, which is how most everyone else is doing it.
