Re: Alumni no longer allowed to use VU libraries on weekends

Since I found the outrage curious, I submitted a question via the link Dores137 provided and asked if there were weekend restrictions to alumni library access. I received a response in less than 5 minutes: "Alumni are welcome all hours that library is open. You will need a new proximity ID car...

This would be fantastic...if it is true. If we stay healthy, it could be a very good season.

Re: MODS: I would appreciate an explanation of...

I'm curious really. I've been reading and posting on VandyMania since at least 2000. My experience has been - but isn't any more - getting a Forbidden message when I go to the site. That was the problem I experienced. I heard through the grapevine that Bryce Drew had something to do with the issues.

Re: Tampa Bay Rays

100% the game with NIL is effectively now like a cowboy league without a salary cap or any sort of contractual arrangement between players. Mathematically if there were perfect information, the best players will cluster to the NBA, and then below that will cluster together at schools offering the b...

Re: Tampa Bay Rays

Unfortunately, there aren't many similarities between MLB and our situation. TB has the opportunity to draft the players of their choosing and lock them up for a certain amount of time. Moreover, they can then trade players when they are at peak value for top prospects. As for VU, players can leave ...

Mike Wright back?

I think most schools have started back for the spring semester. Given that there has been no word on Mike enrolling somewhere else, I am assuming he is enrolled at VU for the spring??? Any word? He could still leave after the spring, but not leaving during winter break gives us some hope that he sta...

Re: The state of WBB

Isn't Ralph just six games into her second season? Also, I believe two starters went down with season-ending injuries before the start of the season. This team will likely be in the bottom half of the SEC this season, but substantial progress has/is certainly been made.

Re: Next and final European game: 12 Noon CT Friday

It was sloppy. I had to keep reminding myself not to read too much into the game. Stack was rotating a lot of different players into the game; some of these guys will likely see limited minutes during the season. Moreover, there are a lot of new guys on the team, so I am guessing a number these guys...

Re: When did VU concessions stop taking cash?

My 12 year old son went with boy scout friends to the Vanderbilt basketball game. The game started at 7 pm and they picked him up at 615, so the plan was for the to eat concessions for dinner. I went to the ATM, got him a $20 bill, and gave it to him. We made sure he had a mask and his immunization...

Re: How improved can Vandy's defense be?

The Orji brothers are two highly recruited and talented LBs. If they live to potential, look out. I'm extremely high on McCallister and it sounds like the coaches are as well. He missed most (all? ) of last year, but I think he would've had a break out year last year. I think we're going to like hi...

Re: I think Baltimore blew an opportunity...

... by not swapping picks for no. 7 or no. 8. With Austin Martin and all those coveted pitchers (Lacy, Meyer, Hancock) at the top, the Orioles could have gotten the later pick plus a bench player or middle reliever for their no. 2. And then still picked up Kjerstad. Can't trade picks in MLB. I wish...

Re: Well screw Baltimore

I am a lifelong Orioles fan. There has been some talk over on their fan site the past few days that they might pass on Martin for financial reasons. Specifically, the Os have the most picks in the draft and might run into some issues signing all of their picks given the MLB limitations on how much ...

Re: I am not sure...

I attribute the Friday loss to 3 things: 1) preoccupation with MLB draft that had at least 13 players full attention all week. 2) Long pre-game weather delay and associated distractions about weather all week long 3) A totally focused, good Duke opponent determined to beat the mighty 'dores All tha...
