It’s a number ONE ranking clanking to the ground. It’s always a pleasure to beat the Orange in basketball. It’s always fun to see a number one team come into Memorial Gym and leave with their ranking tucked between their legs. But, when it’s the UT crew coming in with the [...]
If you live by the black and gold you can’t really have any kind of sports crush on that Orange team dwelling roughly 200 miles east of Nashville. A true Vandy fan chortles at the Knoxville police blotter’s daily UT football arrest report. We may respect their coaches (well, at least their basketball coaches) and [...]
The last couple of days have pretty much reeked. NIT reeling, Brittney being unfairly lambasted and ultimately resigning, troubles at work that depress me greatly, my friend Ginger in a car wreck, Bush still President..I could go on, but I’d depress myself further.
Normally, I really don’t care about the NBA playoffs. By this time of [...]
heh heh

But, congratulations are in order for Tennessee’s Lady Vols and Coach Pat Summitt. Recruiting Ms. Candace Parker may be one of the most brilliant moves of your coaching career!
If I’m Arkansas, I stop licking my wounds at the reneging of the Creighton coach and offer Coach Summitt millions of dollars to coach my team. There [...]
If you watch the NCAA men’s championship game each year on CBS, you know that they feature highlights of the tournament at the end of the broadcast, with the Luther Vandross song ‘One Shining Moment’ playing under the hoop-lights. Vandy got a lot of face-time in this year’s revue, including the heart-breaking game-winning shot [...]
The Salem’s Lots Department of Accountability informs me that I need to come clean about some predictions I made a few weeks ago. It seems that I fearlessly predicted that Florida would NOT repeat as the NCAA Men’s basketball champions. D’oh!
On the other hand, I’m still sticking to my prediction that Michael Silence will [...]
Vandy came into tonight’s game with Georgetown mighty as a lion, and though their roar subsided, they didn’t leave the first half like a lamb.
I get way too nervous watching the big games that Vandy plays. I guess the cumulative rooting of 45 years helps make this matter more than it probably should, but I [...]
According to THIS article on ESPN.com, Eastern Kentucky had a ZERO percent graduation rate for its basketball team that recently exited from the NCAA tournament. Forty-one Division One schools didn’t graduate any black players, but EKU appears to have the distinction of being an equal opportunity non-dispenser of sheepskins for all players
Our crime-lab [...]
My friend Freddy and I had tickets for the hockey game last night**, so we decided to visit Bailey’s Sports Bar and Grill to watch the Vandy game and eat supper before sauntering over to the GEC Nashville Arena. Here’s some advice, if you stretch your order out and order pretty much [...]
I’d just like to state for the record that I have an affidavit showing that I picked VCU over Duke in my men’s brackets. I was never worried (heh).
Unfortunately I fell for the Old Dominion hype and picked them to beat Butler. I also had some leftover admiration for Gonzaga and stupidly [...]
1. Florida will NOT repeat as NCAA men’s basketball champ. Too many teams will watch the film of Vandy taking Florida OUT.
2. You are going to hear the name of Kate Middleton so much in the next few months that you will be longing for the pristine early days of Paris [...]
Query me this…a decathalon of questions. Warning: Amazing Race spoiler down below!
1. How did Vandy get a six-seed? Lord knows, I love me some ‘Dores, but I was sure they were heading towards a battle with Michigan State as a nine seed. Here’s hoping there’s a 21st century gold strike in [...]
Another magical day in Vandy’s Memorial gym, where Tubby Smith brought the Wildcats snarling and ready to go…and go they did, right out the door on the losing end of a 67-65 classic.
During the 70s and 80s, Memorial Gym was known for it’s magical powers enabling the Commodores to steam past opponents who were [...]
I am fully aware that the picture here is fuzzy and not worthy to be blog-mat (blog material, i’m making up words cuz’ i’m so happy), but in my mind, that pic is sweeter than all the See’s candies on the west coast.
If you can’t see the pic clearly, or you haven’t heard the news, [...]
Back in the 1990s when I was a fixture on the Green Hills League baseball fields as one of the fathers ‘helping out’, I knew my place, and I loved my place. I was the dad who would hit grounders to the infielders, warm up the pitcher, shag flies in batting practice and actually [...]
