Re: Locker room rebuild is underway

Honestly, the locker room was kind of a dump. The benches inside of the cubbies could take a lock on them and guys have them. But despite any renovations, the locker room has looked substantially the same since Woody become the coach in the 90's. We're so far behind its not even funny. Seriously, I'...

Re: Vandy adds Elon in 2022 and Charleston Southern in 2023

I've always wondered how it aids recruiting to play in a particular location - not arguing the point or saying there isn't a connection - just that I've not understood the connection. I guess I don't think of recruits saying, "Ah, Vanderbilt is playing Tulane (or whoever) - I think I might be ...

Re: "Reds' Sonny Gray to Replace Nationals' Max Scherzer at 2019 MLB All-Star Game"

It's ridiculous that Bryan Reynolds isn't in the ASG. His .342 would be second in the league if he had another 20 PA's to qualify. He isn't better than the 6 outfielders picked ahead of him. Bryan Reynolds - 222 AB, 38 R, 76 H, 7 HR, 33 RBI, .342 AVG Starters Christian Yelich - 304 AB, 66 R, 100 H,...

Re: Game odds

I like to gamble, but I can't afford to lose much so I make small bets. On Tuesday, I bet $15.00 on a Vanderbilt win by any margin and netted a cool $6.52 I also bet $15.00 for Vanderbilt to win by at least 2 runs Tuesday : won $11.12 Wednesday Bet $10.00 for a win and took home $4.55 Bet $10 to wi...

Re: Corbin & Raby

Corbin just can't get over Raby. He has such feelings for this guy that he is willing to chance a game to get him some playing time. You can't score enough runs to put Raby in a game. I gotta say, I strongly disagree with this. No way our excellent coach (best in the country) would risk a victory t...

Re: "Vandy whistler says he was told to stop whistling or be ejected"

I just looked up some Youtube videos of our home games and heard some of the whistling in the last year or two. Maybe its gotten a lot worse, but I feel like when watching the videos I recognized the whistling from watching games on TV. It literally never registered as more than background noise to ...

Re: The Scholarship Thing

My take-away from the article was that Vandy isn't exempt by any means from the 11.7 scholarship limitation because it is a private school. Theoretically, a student-athlete could receive a full-ride through need based grants and not count against the 11.7; however, that would be extremely rare. The...

Re: The Scholarship Thing

So let me see if I understand this correctly. So effectively, the 11.7 scholarships are reduced by the amount of money given by Opportunity Vanderbilt to our players? So we essentially there is no change right? The only difference I can see is that some of the grant money for players would come from...

Re: Did we peak too soon?

This post is a joke, right? We're 42-10 and have the number 1 RPI in the country. I think that's the point. We're arguably the best team in the country right now, but we're not in the post-season yet. I don't think its a ridiculous question. If you think we've already peaked then yes, we peaked too...

Novice Question

Since 2005 or so, what teams in our conference have been better than us for a sustained period? I don't believe we've missed the tournament in any year since early on in Corbin's tenure. I would imagine that most schools have missed at least a time or two, but I'm unsure who has been consistently as...

Re: Was this really a CWS team?

Personally, I think this team maxed out. Sure, it would have been nice to get to Omaha, but all things considered - our youth, inconsistent bullpen, Infante's hibernation and Bleday's prolonged absence - made this a pretty good but not CWS worthy team. Now next year's team has the potential to be s...

Re: Vandy Poll: Derek Mason

1, as long as it's the UT game. The day's of thinking like this are long gone. Anything less than 6 wins is a failure now. Well this season is a failure but don't you agree that 5 wins with one of them being UT is much better than 5 wins with one of them not being UT? Agreed 100%. Very different fl...
