Re: Relive VU's epic 1996 home loss to Notre Dame here

The third and 37 TD pass to Yoder to go ahead against Notre Dame in the 4th quarter was the single most exciting home football play of the 90s. Pretty sure I tore something jumping up and down so much on those bleachers.

Re: OT (presumably): Oregon and Washington going to the Big Ten

I currently live in the Midwest. My daughter is starting at the University of Washington this fall. In no way, shape or form did I anticipate that she would be at a Big Ten school by sophomore year. I was really looking forward to having a PAC-12 school to follow again (I was a Cal basketball season...

The new logo. Which I haven’t come around on at all.

Aside from that, I fully agree. ADCSL has done an excellent job and our athletic programs are in good hands with her in charge.

Re: Typical UT fans: setting themselves up for disappointment again

Do you have any reason to exist other than just to be a pitiful troll every time UT gets mentioned? The hope of Vandy going to a bowl is realistic. The hope for UT become nationally relevant again is a dire need for your and most other fans' self-esteem. It ain't '98. A fan confident in his program...

Re: Louisville

Corbs pushed all the right buttons in the 12th, though I didn't understand pinch hitting Espinosa with 1 out. He's a high-risk, high-reward hitter who strikes out a lot. Why not a lefty against the right-handed pitcher, or Maldo the Younger, a much better contact hitter. That move mystified me a bi...

Re: The color guy last night

I’ve seen various folks complaining about Devon Travis and the ACC Network crew, and they’re not wrong. So much ACC propaganda, among other things.

But I listened to our radio broadcast for the early innings and I’ll take the ACC Network over Allegretta. Bring back Joe!

That’s awesome news and Grand Valley State is an excellent program!

Re: STRANGE LATE KARMA FOR THE EARL BENNETT EXCESSIVE CELEBRATION PENALTY

Earl did less to deserve that excessive celebration call than you see on the average play these days.

And yet Louisville’s Luke Smith remained in the CWS game after, among other things, giving a very, very visible FU to the incredibly unlikely Julian Infante, one of Vandy’s all-time nice guys.

Re: Gavin Casas

Playing first base in two of the three games (DH in the other), Casas made no errors ... so he bested teammate Talmadge LeCroy by FIVE in that category. A total aside, but what is USC doing playing LeCroy at third? Don’t get me wrong, I greatly appreciated LeCroy’s assistance to Vanderbilt’s cause,...
