I have plans to be in East Memphis and would like to know the best barbeque restaurants (I have always just gone to Rendezvous and love it but would like to try something different)

Can't make tonight's game, my loss your gain, 2 free infield Sec G.. text, TEXT me at 615 584 2777 for tickets...

Gone......#goDores git er done.

Two questions.

Which is a bigger surprise, that Vanderbilt it 13 - 2, or that UT is 5 - 9?

What else surprises you the most at the halfway point in SEC play?

Rivals has shown that Vandy was leading for several in state prospects particularly in middle Tennessee. Why have they been unable to close the deal with any of these prospects?

Lea and a lot of the staff are following this kid on twitter and he also quote tweeted Coleman’s tweet. Any info on this kid @JustinAngel @Sean_Williams ? Thanks!

Interesting....

First, yes the umpires should have gave a signal on the play of safe (or out if they ruled it a catch, which they didn’t). However, it’s not mandatory to rule something safe on a catch. Only mandatory to rule something out. I mean every ball that is in the air that isn’t caught isn’t ruled safe.

I umpired baseball for 20 yrs from little league to High School. You are to signal and even sound any negative play toward the batter/offense. For example on a foul / fair ball down the line you just point toward the field for a fair ball (a batter might not see you for example). But for a foul ball you yell foul. Also point foul/wave hands above you like jumping Jack, etc (whatever your personal style is, I usually used both arms pointing foul and also yelling foul and just used one arm and pointed toward field of play for a fair ball). You should however NEVER yell fair as that can confuse the batter or runners. Same thing for safe / out on catches that are close. You should signal safe but a no call or no sound means no out had been recorded.

So in reality if the umpires didn’t signal anything that’s basically a safe ruling on the field. The batters and coaches should know that and act accordingly (I’m assuming that’s what happened, if they signaled out then we have another story). So I really lightly blame the runners and coaches here (meaning it’s a tough deal but a no call is a safe call).

My question is, say they make a no call, all the runners advance without tagging, then Upon replay they change to out. Do they then Punish the runners for following the umpires call. Anyone know how that works. I can understand calling the batter out after replay but runners shouldn’t be punished if they followed what the umpires did, at worse they should be allowed back to their original bases without penalty.

Anyone know how that would work? It’s a big flaw of replay in baseball if a runner can get doubled up due to an umpire wrong ruling initially.

In this case I do agree with the VU runners that didn’t advance and also left the field being called out as a no call is a safe call and runners should of treated it accordingly (Again assuming no call was made).

Watching SCar this weekend made me appreciate our outstanding defensive team even more. We are solid at every position and I think Diaz might be the best defensive 3rd baseman in the SEC.

One of my favorite features of the transfer portal is how guys who enter it suddenly become far better players than they ever were at their former school.

That's about what I figured. They just don't move teams down until they lose a weekend series.

Is that Chris Mack rocking the Buttplug V?

Vanderbilt was without Hunter Owen, and Carter Holton's Saturday start went horribly, but Vanderbilt took two of three against South Carolina despite a 14-6 defeat on Friday night thanks to Patrick Reilly, Greysen Carter and others. RJ Schreck had the weekend's biggest hit to start things and the bottom of the lineup helped just enough even if it wasn't the greatest weekend for some of the younger players. Chris Lee and Luke Wyatt rewind the weekend, look ahead to the Tennessee series and take mailbag questions.

Today’s mailbag is sponsored by Sutherland & Belk, a family owned injury law firm. If you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident, give Taylor or Russell a call at 615-846-6200 to see what your rights are and if they can help.

The podcast is presented by Jody Jones, DDS.

I'll do this this morning.

VU - 13-2
FL - 11-4
Arky - 11-4
SC - 10-4
KY - 10-5
LSU - 9-5
A&M - 7-8
Bama - 6-9
MSU - 5-10
Aub - 5-10
MO - 5-10
UT - 5-10
GA - 4-11
Ole Miss - 3-12

I know, I know . . . the meat of the schedule is ahead of us, BUT AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE A 2 GAME LEAD AT THE TOP, AND UT IS TIED FOR THE THIRD WORST RECORD IN THE CONFERENCE.

Has anybody heard anything on either Daniel Martin or Maurice Edwards? With the final signing day yesterday, I don't think any moves were made by either of these two. Do you think that mean their NCAA careers are more than likely over? Sad news if so for two talented players, even if they were dismissed for potential behavioral issues.

If you weren't watching, you missed one of the really special performances by any Vanderbilt team in recent memory. Down 3 games to 1, the Commodores win 3 straight !! Great job by Coach Williamson and a gutsy, never-say-die group of athletes. NATIONAL CHAMPIONS !!! IT'S GOOD TO BE GOLD.
