My Paul Mainieri story is we were in Baton Rouge for a series. After the Saturday afternoon game we were eating at a local spot & in he walks. After getting congrats for the W he walks over to our table(we were in VU gear),thanked us for coming, praised Corbs & then pd our tab🤙

Just had my daily run in with another ut fan. Said that kid last night was lucky, umps helped him..his wife/gf trying to get him to shut up. I said it sucks being you, but it really sucks being her because of your sorry ass. She started laughing.
My work is done.

My yearly reminder.We will have a very strong

It’s sad but great that the Hawaii radio guys know more about Vandy players than most of the other SEC announcers that call the SEC+ games.
These guys are very refreshing.

It’s really not that hard to figure out!
My take: Vandy fan my entire life (62yrs for those keeping score) been to 1000’s of games in all sports. Sidewalk fans make up majority of fans in seats while alum majority of donors. It takes both for team to win.Even though I didn’t go to VU I’m just as invested in its success!

They’ve gotten away with f-bombs & going after umps all year & SEC umps let them get away with it, so that’s why they act surprised. But outside conference umps won’t take it & it was released after the game they’d been warned already!!
Discussed on the way home, for 20 straight years we have celebrated Mothers Day at a

Happy Mothers Day Momma!!

Okay, so just got razzed by a very nice young couple. They’re MSU fans. Fun back & forth, until they say, “she(wife) asked me(husband)where Vandy was. We had no idea it was in Nashville, thought it was in Georgia” I stayed quiet but it was hard.🤷🏻♂️🙄😳

For those that were saying Scott Brown had to go after Friday nights pitching debacle, are you now saying he stays after helping a freshman who struggled beginning of year to domination last night.

Met Charlie Daniels when I was 13 (I’m 58 now) ever since that day we have been friends. Even though he was more a ut fan, after both the 2014 & 2019 CWS he was one of the first congrats text I got. He was a very good man..
RIP my friend😪
Was walking across parking lot wearing a Vandy hat, when car with vol tags stops to let me cross. Of course I shot him a “V” wave, what’s he do, honks and shoots me a bird. My response, I put up 3 fingers just to remind him who his daddy is⚓️⬇️😂😂
Okay that lessens today’s pain. Next time a Mormon knocks on a Vandy fans door, welcome them into your home, give them something to eat & drink & let them give you their pitch. We owe them that much!!
#ThankyouBYU
Hey Vandy family one of ours is trying to make a difference in kids lives but as we all know sometimes kids can’t express feelings they don’t understand. If you’re inclined lift up our boy Steven & his family in prayer for wisdom & have peace tonight. At least send positive vibes
