VandyBoys--Remember When?

There has been much posted here about the state of college baseball today. I know this could apply to many teams, but I follow Vandy so---remember when we would go to Vandy games and see a hit and run; a double steal; a suicide bunt; a hitter giving himself up by hitting to the right side to move the runner from second to third; the unbelievably daring baserunning of Enrique; a bunt with runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs. That is what I have always enjoyed about Vanderbilt baseball. Coach Corbin taught his players all these things and more and used them every game. So much fun to watch. Oh, where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

How many SEC Football Stadiums have you watched Vandy play in?

1) Vandy
2) UTjr (I’m 1-0 there)
3) UK (I’m 1-0 there)
4) South Carolina (I’m 1-0 there)
5) Arkansas (I’m 1-0 there)
6) Bama (0-1)
7) Auburn (0-1)
8) Ole Miss (0-2)
9) Miss St (0-1)

A) I don’t care to calculate the record in games I’ve attended at the Indian Burial Ground but it would probably be enough to make me consider jumping off of the closest bridge.

B) The fact that I have a 4-5 road record in the SEC as a VU fan has to be the most remarkable think I’ve accomplished in my life. What are the odds mathematically?

C) I have no idea when the next time I’ll get to go to another SEC game on the road but I would like to LSU next.

How many have y’all been to?

That's a grim looking 2024-25 football schedule

Seeing this was a harsh reminder that this is going to be a tough tough slog for CCL in year 4. No surprise, but with all the personnel changes, coaching changes, new plays/packages, my expectations that were already low have actually gone down. I know in theory we've upgraded at several spots, taken a new NIL approach, upgraded coordinators - but in my 20+ experience, huge offensive question marks at every important position (QB, WR, RB, OL) usually does not end well for Vandy. Defense might be better overall because it would honestly be tough to suck worse, but goodness, that SEC schedule this year is BRUTAL. 2-4 wins maybe?
