May have been right all along…?


Great win, great streak!!

I’ll have more to say later going to eat after the game but VU shot terrible especially in the paint, thought first 10-12 minutes of 2nd half bad D. But they gutted it out and found a way. Mark of a really good team.

They had a lot of fans l...loud obnoxious fans.

I tried to start that cheer at the end ... several of them wanted to take a swing at me....called me classless....

I politely reminded them that this is my house and kindly honor my request....lol...go home NOW!!!

we’ll be favored in both games this week and we need both. Would give us 10 conference wins.

I have to admit, I was pretty pissed after the Bama game. I thought he was done.

This is the best hoops we have seen in a long, long time.

This team is playing very hard for the Coach and for themselves.

Congrats to Stack.

Yes!!!!!

Lemme know quick

Granted this is after only 2 games so a small sample size (and I will miss tomorrow's game because of a 11:30 tee time!), but here are some strengths and concerns after the first 2 games:

Strengths

- Hewett and Vastine are the real deal at the plate and both barrel up real well and hit every ball hard. For a big guy, Hewett is very fast and I like his aggressiveness on the basepaths. Vastine seems to becoming the team leader, very vocal.
- Austin and Polk need more at-bats at this level, but they both have some pop in their bats and the potential to be real good later in the season
- Noland is very close to being in the same conversation as Hewett and Vastine, and I expect him to be there soon
- EBJ is not getting many good pitches to hit as he is well-scouted so he has to be patient
- Schreck is a good addition as he has a good approach at the plate and the hits will start falling for him
- Owen looks like a weekend starter as his FB was quick and off-speed stuff was good, he just needs to fine tune his accuracy prior to SEC play starting
- Schultz came back after some bad pitches and struck out his final 2 batters, simply overpowering them. If he goes with that attitude he will be a real asset
- Maldonado looked as good as ever and was throwing harder than I remember him last year

Concerns

- Holton may have a sophmore slump that some kids go through. He was not sharp and gave up some balls that were hit hard
- Hliboki has a lot of movement on his pitches and good control, but he may be best used to go one-time through the lineup as TCU started hitting him pretty well
- Dutkanych looked like a freshman, he was inconsistent but has a lot of talent that should only get better with more innings. I do not see him being a starter this year unless they give him some mid-week games to get more consistency
- Diaz hit a couple of balls real hard, but his glove has to improve as I do not have much confidence in him when a ball is hit his way. Corbin may have to make a tough call if he keeps booting simple plays.

Keep an eye on TCU throughout the season as they are very well-coached and have a roster built for Omaha, so the loss may not look so bad later this season.

Have a late scratch. Text me at 6153080190. Have to sit with @vandyzack7 and me so Camero ownership is a must

Okoye didn't start playing football until last year, and he has now picked up an offer from the SEC. Okoye talks about his journey, Vanderbilt, and more. @wkudore, we expect a full breakdown of Okoye's skillset once you get to England.

Official game thread here,.

Finally found a place that tracks NET strength of schedule and out-of-conference strength of schedule. Vanderbilt is 16 and 120, respectively, in those measures.

Up 54-33 with 14:10 left in the game.

Up 39-19. I think KY due to their athleticism and length is a really tough matchup for VU. If KY is playing well that Lexington trip IMO is easily the toughest of the remaining 5 VU games. I don’t think they have an auto win left but that one is a daunting task.

I have six tickets for tonight’s Auburn game and section F row 7 $300 for the 6.No Auburn fans please.

the mighty vols put up exactly 1 run in their opening loss to unheralded ’zona.
following a disappointing vu loss earlier, this was needed and greatly appreciated.

Seems fitting, honestly.

This is the official game thread, and also, the link if you want to get FloSports... that's the only way to see the games and I think it's $29.95 a month.

I have a buddy who is looking for 2-3 tickets to buy cheap from a vandy fan or free. Let me know!

So good.

Also, “It can be done here” should be all over VU athletics.

Tennessee now features a Top 35, plenty of Vandy targets featured

The same baseball coaching headscratchers continue. Offense as bad as expected, and pitching maybe not as strong as hoped for (although it’s hard to say as our coaches leave everyone in too long anyways).
