Re: Stackhouse

When Roy Skinner was coaching Vanderbilt, for much of the time there were no Black players, there was no three-point line, dunks were illegal, only one SEC team could go to the NCAA dance, and Richard Nixon played piano on the Opry. But he took Vanderbilt to the Elite Eight, and until somebody else ...

Re: I was encouraged by last night *

I was encouraged by last night, too. Very different vibe from the sweep in Gainesville. Vandy had one bad inning, and you can't have even one against a team like Florida. If we beat Alabama, I think (suspect, hope) that the Gators will find it very difficult to beat a team as good as Vanderbilt five...

Re: Thursday pitchers

House money! Love it. Last night’s win was huge. We beat a ranked team on a big streak - and this should cement a top-8 seed. It reinforces us as a top 4 in the SEC despite the late swoon - and every one close behind us has lost… Aub, Vols, SC… With pitching banged up, and Futrell coming off 100+ pi...

Re: Doc's sport service

I remember when they were called the U of A Extension Center in Birmingham. The only team they had back then was intramural parking.

Things have changed. This game will be tough on my nerves.

I don't expect us to have much of a size advantage, if any. In their game at Rupp, they got 30 rebounds to UK's 31.

Co-champs of IVY league. Winners in other words. They hit mid 40's% from field and high 30's from 3. They are good shooters and outsored opponents easily for year. They also keep opponents scoring down so play good D. Also comfortably outrebound opponents. Only stat they didn't out perform oppositi...

Isn’t that kind of how it works though? Tracking for me started in Grade 7. Encouragement from your teachers and special privileges start basically in 3rd grade. I had a prof in college who could remember the name of everyone he'd ever given an "A" to, and he was well past retirement age....
