They get players that would otherwise qualify for full academic scholarships and put them on a full ride that way. Every school in the nation could do the same thing, Stanford does it too. So, Mr. 5* baseball prospect with the near-perfect SAT can choose to further his education at Vanderbilt, Stanford or Auburn. Nobody is surprised when the first two listed get the guy. That doesn't work for football or basketball but so far that loophole is wide open for baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,568 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Omg that was a spectacular chain of events in this Vandy game. An inside the park home run with two outs to tie the game. Are you kidding me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a long night. Yep....I gave up at the point when it was tied....missed the end of game excitement....but got a good night's sleep though.☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 DANG! Tn Tech hitter just took a ball to his face. What a tough kid. He's up and took his base. Really good to see that he's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Those crazy kids from Tenn Tech think they are going to Omaha. And they just might do it. They have beaten Texas in Game 1, 5-4. Go Golden Eagles!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a feat to beat the Longhorns in that atmosphere. It was a really good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure how UT got in the spot they are in...offense is anemic (.270 cumulative BA) and pitching is less than dominant (4.18 combined ERA). I was shocked to see all the guys they trotted up to the plate with .240 and .250 batting averages...I can only assume Clemens has carried them all year. Tennessee Tech could be this year's Coastal Carolina (if somebody can find a way to shut down that Beavers offense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 There's a confusing uniform situation in Nashville.....Vandy looks like the 4th of July and MSU looks like the mafia in track suits. WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree I know I'm old school but to me you should not mess with BB uniforms just looks dumb/silly to me. Nothing better then the Yankees classic uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.....I see now...black unis and caps except for the batting helmets which are maroon. Y'all remember back in the day when they were known as the Mississippi State Maroons. ? Think maybe the bulldog was their version of our war eagle or something and not sure when it became the primary mascot/name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back a little further, they were Mississippi A&M Aggies until 1925 when they became Mississippi State College. They changed to the Maroons in 1932 and then to Bulldogs in 1966.
