Re: Sewer pipe underneath Dudley Field?

Fayette Dore, I don't know for whom Kerrigan was named. I assume it is for someone prominent in the establishment of the Nashville water and sewer system. The map you attached is somewhat dated. Van Buren and Broadway no longer overflow, having been remediated about ten years ago. The last time Drif...

Re: Sewer pipe underneath Dudley Field?

I gave a talk about the Metro sewer program to the local chapter of the Sierra Club a few years ago. The then president was a Vanderbilt classmate and friend of my wife. I think she let me speak solely because of their friendship. She later told me that she thought the talk would be dishwater dull b...

Re: Sewer pipe underneath Dudley Field?

Historybill, we lost internet because of the storm and just got it back. The branch of which you speak is Wilson Springs Branch. The spring is still there near the roundabout of 8th Av S and Lafayette St. It flows into a pipe which empties into the Cumberland River south of Broadway. I have not walk...

Re: Sewer pipe underneath Dudley Field?

This is the Kerrigan combined sewer pipe. It is designed to carry both storm water and sewage. When the earliest sewers were made the creeks and branches were put into sewer pipes. Since there was no sewer treatment plants when it rained the contents were flushed into the river. It did not make much...

Re: Thoughts on Vandy's WIN over UConn

That was Vanderbilt under Woody Widenhofer and LSU under Gerry DiNardo in 1996. VU lost 7-6. Woody was originally going to go for the win with a two point attempt. The team was celebrating so much that VU got a delay of game penalty and then another to put the extra point attempt on 13 yard line and...

My wife had her personal items in a clear purse and the chairback was purchased at VU bookstore long after 9/11.

Re: Attendance 21,218………

I don't have season tickets now but a neighbor gave us two tickets for last night. After the early shower passed through my wife and I tried to enter the stadium with the chairback we had bought at the VU bookstore. Security told us we could not enter with our own chairback. My wife insists on one s...

Re: Franklin should stay at Penn State

Good point but PSU was never considered a top tier program until the 1970's when they had Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris so the comparative era would be the 70's forward. No doubt, USC would still have more championships but the gap would be narrower.

Re: It would appear...

I still don't know what to think of the whole Malcolm Turner episode but I heard Turner went to observe Drew's practices and saw a disaster. From Turner's development league experience he had to have some judgment of sound coaching. If the result we saw was so bad, I would trust Turner's judgment th...

Re: 3/29/21 announcement

The money is important but I think the most important thing is that the Diermeier administration has admitted there is a problem and is determined to address the issues which prevent football and basketball from being competitive.

Did anyone else get the email on the announcement on the future of VU athletics with CDD and CSL at 10:00 am, CDT, Monday? Any speculation on what might be the subject?

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?

Barnes was successful at the real UT in Austin. A principal reason for being pushed out was lack of post season success in relation to winning during the regular season.
