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).

Sort of has the feel of a program shifter. If you win, you sit at 8-6 and in the top 6 of the conference and squarely playing for a chance at the tournament, even if it’s slim. If you lose, there’s a decent chance they drop at least one, maybe two more, and could possibly miss the NIT with a 9-9 conference record. Big game for Stack and the immediate future of VU MBB, in my opinion

The common thought among people who live in Omaha is that they hate Vanderbilt because of the Whistler.

The common thought among normal humans is they hate Vanderbilt because of the Whistler.

The common thought among opposing fans is that Vandy fans all like the Whistler.

When people think about Vandy baseball, they immediately think about the Whistler, not the 2 Natties and 5 trips to Omaha.

How do you feel about the Whistler?

Enter game-related thoughts here.

Will be at the game as well as the Vandy United event tonight. Looking forward to seeing the second half of this series after being at the first half in Knoxville.

Stackhouse and company are still searching for the first win over the Vols in Stack's tenure, they're also looking to avoid the 12th-straight loss to Tennessee for the Vanderbilt program. Feels like tonight would be a success if it's within the 9.5-point spread. That's a low bar for a program that should have higher expectations but one that is probably the reality at this point. What's also likely a reality is that this would probably be the biggest win of Stack's tenure, he said it yesterday and it checks out. His team is still looking for what he's referred to as a "signature win" and this would certainly provide that. It would also show administration that maybe there is something to work with here. Feels like the type of game that Vandy could get up for and stick around in if the intensity is there. Tennessee is averaging 50 points per game over its last two games and certainly looked beatable in Gainesville. That being said, it will take a lot from Vanderbilt to even be in this one, the battle from beyond the arc has to be Vandy's by a significant amount, think the key to that is just getting into more of a natural flow offensively. In Knoxville it felt like there was some hero ball going on early and that put Vandy in a significant hole until Robbins came in the game and changed things. Tennessee normally suffocates you around the rim and will likely do that again tonight, it's gotta come from beyond the arc for the most part and it's gotta be because of ball movement. Vanderbilt only had seven assists as a team in Knoxville and was led by Colin Smith in that category, that can't happen tonight. The only way Vandy is gonna get this one is if it can get good looks from 3-point range and can establish Robbins. Also have to pray for a similar offensive night to what Tennessee had on Saturday and Wednesday. Feels like there's a path to this one at least being coverable but that will be difficult if Vandy plays like it did on Saturday or last Tuesday. Has to be a whole different level of intensity tonight. Kinda think that will be there, as well. Gonna be tough with the crowd likely being UT heavy but there is a way in which this doesn't have the same feeling as the Kentucky game or the Alabama games. Think we get another gauge of the locker room tonight based on the intensity we see early on, should be a fun one.

Here’s a link to discounted tickets for tomorrow’s basketball game. Someone on twitter told me to pass it along. Guessing they’re for teacher day, but looks like anyone can buy them.

Comical how far our OC position has fallen

Bruce already RATTLED!! Haha

I love this (from a YouTube podcast called The 2 Percent podcast - Kiambu Fentress, Ro Coleman, Harry Ray)

Recruiting update with Simmons. Vandy is one of the programs he wants to visit this offseason. No quotes on Vandy.

As y'all know, @Chris Lee has been running VandySports.com for over 20 years. He has no plans on going anywhere, but it's your turn to help Chris out so around the clock Vandy coverage can keep coming. This is a perfect time for your business to be front and center as a sponsor of either football spring practice, baseball season or year-round recruiting coverage. If you are part of a business who would love to be featured, let me know! He's got big plans this year so y'all get ready!

Holton, Owen, TBA.

Well, I just got these tickets from another board member and now I can't go. I've had a sudden change in plans and won't be in town Saturday night. I received the tickets free, and it's only right that I give them to someone else for free. The first one who sends me a DM gets the tickets (Section 2L, Row 3). I'm heading to bed in five minutes, so I'll reply in the morning.

I have not confirmed with my wife whether I need to take the kids. It will probably be just me since the game tips off at 7:30, I'm looking for at least one ticket. I'll confirm how many I will need tomorrow.

Predict your opening day lineup and who do you think supplants a current starter by postseason play.

That’s all I got so ai need some help.
