Unheard of

Post by Seadog73 »

This article may be for subscribers only, but catch the headline/title:

Strong academics paired with SEC athletics is a blueprint for greatness at Vanderbilt | Opinion
Our student-athletes and our coaches chose Vanderbilt because they see vast potential and, importantly, the exciting new direction our athletics programs are headed.
Daniel Diermeier and Candice S. Lee Guest Columnists

I have been connected to Vandy athletics since 1968. I have NEVER seen anything like this.

Here's the link in case it is open:

Yes, I was just going to link this myself! Every Vandy fan should read this! Kudos to Diermeier and CSL for doing this.

It's almost as if there was a Vanderbilt administration who wants athletics to be successful.
Seriously, I think this is one of the signs of the apocalypse.

No surprise at all

I don't know much about Diermeyer, but the comments on this site seem to be pretty glowing. And as for ADCSL, she is on her way to being a rock star AD. That was evident from the beginning. She is Vandy blood but will not be married to to the SOV keep-doing-it-the-same-way syndrome.

Thus, this article doesn't surprise me at all.

There were pictures of both Candace and the Chancellor enjoying the super regional sitting next to each other - talk about a winning team!

When was the last time you saw a Vanderbilt chancellor (a) attending a send-off for one of the school's teams, and (b) signing autographs at the same event?

Candice Lee is a winner and was made for the position she holds.
