We have a game...

Post by commadore »

In 14 days and there is absolutely no chatter, no newspaper coverage, and all the boards are dead.

That is really sad. Is it because the university is being closed mouth about the season, or does nobody care any more?

I am very much looking forward to seeing Vanderbilt play basketball in person for the first time since March of 2020. I expect there to be many more pleasing outcomes and stories in the upcoming year than there have been since the end of the 2016-2017 season.

I can not wait!!! In almost 50 years of fandom disappointments over football have given way to at least basketball is almost here. After not even having basketball to look forward to for a few years, I think we can be pretty competitive this year. C'mon Memorial Magic!!!

Another reason the season starts too early. It should commence no earlier than the week of Thanksgiving.

For us sports fans that are currently suffering through another miserable football season, it cannot start soon enough!!!

No and hell no ! I have made my feelings known about the digital tickets on this board - still seems a process ripe for failure- but that is certainly partially the curmudgeon in me. When I last talked to the ticket office couple weeks back, I was told in a very unconcerned tone not to worry as they would be activating things very soon. Sorry, but my history with the athletic department over the years (always very nice people who seem less than very competent or very concerned) doesn't make me very confident.

Absent the ticket snafu I'm very much interested to see what we have this year. Seems like the first "all Stack" team, so I honestly expect some hard nose, team oriented basketball. The two scrimmages have made me increasingly optimistic (never a good place to be for a long time VU fan). Nevertheless, may the games begin!!!

There are 4 different stories about Men's Hoops on the first page of vucommodores.com. You can also try the men's hoops Twitter feed that will link you to other sources of news about the players and the team.

But then I get am email with basketball protocols......masks required, vaccine proof required or PCR test results required.

I promptly called ticket office and requested full refund. I told the young lady that the product that they are selling is not worth jumping through the hoops that they have put in front of us and i would just watch games from home!
