Duke's known as a basketball school and baseball isn't basketball? Seriously, looking at the Duke Baseball Wikipedia page (which isn't completely updated), it looks like their program had a very long dry spell until Coach Pollard arrived in 2013 and that it's taken him several years to get to where ...

One thing that I'd like to tack on to Versus75's post, above, is how the conferences as a whole were represented by the number of teams in the Regionals and the number (and percentage) advancing to the SuperRegionals: Conference.....Regional.....SuperRegional.....Percent Advancing to SR SEC.......10...

Read it wrong: Our first game versus Duke is on Friday at 6 PM EDT (5 central) on ESPN2, Saturday at 9 PM (8 central) on ESPNU, and Sunday if necessary at 3 PM (2 central) on ESPN2.

Whew! Relief! Double play, Dores win!

Glad we have some padding now. Georgia Tech had a three run lead on Auburn for most of their game but a late run and then a three run home run walked off Auburn into the regional final and GT into the loser’s bracket.

Final: Auburn 6, GT 5

Good point. I noticed that ad on my screen after I posted the link. The browser is watching us! Lol

P.S. The $27.99 price is correct. I was off a few cents when I was remembering earlier.

Fanatics.com was sold out of Vanderbilt gear at the game but they had the tournament championship shirt available within seconds of the game being over. They were running about $35 at the stadium, but are currently on sale for $27.95 plus free shipping at the website. I like this one https://www.fan...

The same situation occurs with Vandy-Texas A&M and Tennessee-Auburn, though all of these except for us are #2 seeds. The way it’s set up, the SEC could potentially have as few as zero or as many as six teams in Omaha, though, based on seedings alone, the probability is four.

Sorry for the double post but can’t do this on my phone. As annoying as the whistler may be, the hate that UT radio host Chad Withrow is throwing at him does make me like him a lot more. ...While the whistler stopping would make me a bit more happy, it is clear that it would be a great victory for t...

I’ve never been a fan of the whistler on TV but Sunday at the game he was quite effective in getting our crowd going without it being nonstop like it seems when watching on TV. He was definitely getting up, engaging our crowd, leading cadence on claps, and even leading cheers. Having spent several y...

Top of the 4th, Ole Miss goes down 1-2-3. We needed that.

The whistler has done a nice job today getting the crowd to respond and cheer. The whistling is very intermittent rather than near constant.

Thanks, everyone, for your replies and the information!

I’m about to get him up; as long as he’s doing okay this morning, we’ll be on our way! He’ll be wearing a “Commodore leaning on the cannon” shirt and I’ll be the guy with him. Say hi if you see us.

Go Dores!

I wanted to attend the game today but had to work until almost game time. Fortunately, I’m off tomorrow so it’s a road trip from Atlanta. My special needs son and I will be attending so I don’t want to get there so early as to burn him out before the game begins. How early should we arrive to get pa...

Hmm, I didn’t know they did that. I bet it makes an interesting entry in the record book!

. Did they at least mention what’s happened in the past sixteen years or so? Yes, the article says that Vandy blitzed the league this year and is a power of late. This was not written by the Tennessean. Also, SEC baseball has been around for a long, long time, and Vandy wasn't a factor till Corbin ...

East teams haven’t done well today, with Florida, Missouri, and UT all being eliminated and SC trailing as of a few minutes ago. Let’s turn that around tomorrow.

I know they ran an article on us winning the SEC regular season championship, but it’s sad that they’d have to counter it by focusing on the distant past and the past as a whole rather than on how we’ve worked to become successful in recent years. Did they at least mention what’s happened in the pas...

SEC champs! That always has a great ring to it when we can say it in regard to one of our teams. Congratulations to our baseball team, Coach Corbin, and our staff. Well done!

Ethan Paul’s three run homer in the top of the 8th puts Vandy back up 12-4.

Click in the team names. It will take you to a new page; scroll down and find the prediction for the series at the end.

Don, is the NCAA RPI correct for the Vandy-Missouri matchup? It’s showing Missouri 2 and Vandy 21 rather than the other way around like I thought.
