This is the official game thread, I will cover from TV.

Yeah, we aren't one of the winners.....

Holton, Futrell, Owen in that order. Wow.

@drew_toennies has more with new OL target Joseph Ionata, who is teammates and best friends with current Commodore commit Callahan Blair

Chris Lee and Andrew Allegretta start with a discussion over Vanderbilt baseball heading into the Florida series, then, talk about the school's new radio deal with 102.5.

Underscores the issue that the NCAA as created. He's honest about it. Simply a dollars and cents decision. Again, I think players should be compensated, but there are no guidelines.

"The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase," Dickinson said. "I got, at Michigan, less than six figures. I got less than six figures at Michigan for the year."

I have tons of concerns around NIL, no-sit transfer rules, and Covid 5th years, but out of all of them what I think is the biggest problem I have is rewarding disloyalty. Don't overthink my choice of that word (disloyalty), not trying to slander folks, but what the current environment encourages is every player to put their name in the portal at the end of every season and just create a bidding war for their services. Anyone who doesn't isn't maximizing their value.

There is a chance you put your name in and no one picks you up, so not 100% of players can do this. But how do you pay the players who are good AND want to be there a lot and are totally loyal to their teammates? How do you deal with the locker room knowing one player is making $1M and another player making $0 (but still free college tuition/food/living space)? At least in the pros everyone is making something. How do you make the average player feel valued and thus motivated to put their body on the line every Saturday?

Lots of good things about NIL, too, but this is a problem for me.

He a 4* on 247.

Do our “fans” and editors blame Stackhouse or Vanderbilt if Tyrin leaves?

Same question if he comes back…

Who gets the credit if Tyrin comes back? Stackhouse or Vandy?

I hope the one about Vanderbilt is true.

South end zone almost completely gone

Kentucky and Vanderbilt are battling it out for the three-star ATH. After spring visits to both schools, he'll return for officials next month

Vanderbilt got clutch hitting and pitching, throwing nine men in a 12-8 win at Louisville on Tuesday night. But will the Commodores have starter Carter Holton going forward? Chris Lee and Luke Wyatt discuss issues in the aftermath of a big win and what would potentially be a key absence should Holton miss time.

How good is our rivalry?

Think about how many times we’ve stomped them out, walked them off, broke their hearts. Add to that the fact they’ve done the same to us a few times.

We had a blast watching that game last night, so happy to get the win on their home field.

As an aside, does Dan McDonnell identify as a little person?

One of my all-time favorite Dores . . . any sport . . . .

This is a very bad sign and the season would be pretty much toast if he can’t pitch again.
