OLD VandyMania.com (ARCHIVE)

I'm also of the opinion that we shouldn't read too much into the dynamics of the portal. Take an academic minded kid like Q and give him the opportunity to do graduate classes at the school that best fits his aspirations, and this makes plenty of sense. Money says he knows exactly where he's going. ...

But he already announced he was staying??

I like our chances in the portal this year. We have pretty good optics with the SEC Coach of the Year and solid guard play. A couple of shooters and big men have an attractive landing place.

Come now Jason, you're being too thoughtful with that 6' description. My 13 year old is 5'10". That's what I'm seeing on the court.

How important is a Vandy degree. My degree helped me land a good first job. After that, it's a piece of paper in the closet. How you perform in that job is what gives you the next opportunity. James Franklin was wrong. If not, then how did he land the Penn State job out of East Stroudsburg. For yea...

NIL may actually create more parity in the game. You can't simply stack up a bunch of players and not let them play.

Let's go win this.

This is a silly post by the OP. Functionally useless.

War Pigeon!!

It's a legitimate observation. It looks like there's very little reason to play it at this point.

We had to build a different kind of team from the one we had with Scottie. That took longer than we would have liked. That's why the whole 'body of work' crap gets to me. It's BS. The season is about what you built through the season. It's subjective. As much as that sucks to some people, it's real....

I disagree with the whole body of work thing. An at large team should be able to earn their way in late. You still need enough wins (19 or 20), but good or bad basketball at the end should trump whatever you did in December. The SEC deserved 5 teams, and we were one of them. Auburn and Arkansas were...

Short of winning the SEC, they weren't letting us in.

we had to beat AM to have a chance.. Solid coaching job to finish the year but you cant lose to Grambling and LSU because nor lose by 57 to anyone. We lose so many players this year, hopefully we can get a good big to replace Liam Dude: What team are you following? We lose Liam. We have a lot of go...

Quite frankly, Ezra is the most important returnee. This is a guard's game and he is certainly a top notch guard.

This was such a pipe dream in January

I want to thank your wife for her efforts. Team work makes the dream work.

And now we're at 95%. I believe the committee actually finishes up their work on Saturday with scenario allowances for the unexpected tournament wins. It's Friday results that matter with Bubble teams. Last year, they decided Texas A&M wasn't gonna be on their list on Saturday.

And now we're at 95%

I had plumb gave up on Jordan. Thank goodness Coach didn't listen to me. My gut tells me to sit back and watch.

I don't know about y'all, but THIS is the first time I've followed Vanderbilt Sports where I have confidence in our coaches for all of our sports at the same time. It's so strange. It feels so good. It would be nice to win tonight, but I'm good either way. Our coaches know what they're doing. The yo...
