I’d be sure to let Malik know on a daily basis that he couldn’t hang with my pops.
My moms...maybe
My pops...would school him.

Sounds like his mom schooled him too, just in a different way

I never understood why Gordon got so much hate?

I was an Earnhardt fan so it’s kind of similar to the Kobe vs LeBron deal for me

Malik Beasley is a much better player on and off the court

I would be letting Scottie Jr. know that both his parents are a couple of the greatest sidekicks for very different reasons. His dad on the court and his mom off the court…

Looks like we have become the Alabama football of basketball. At least we rush the field against the preeminent program in the sport. Vanderbilt can’t even get rushing the field/court right

Vandy fined $250K for rushing court after Vols win

"After Vols win"? Am I reading that to say that the Vols won that game?

They worded that poorly. No surprise with how “journalism” is nowadays. I take it as they are intending to say they beat the Vols.

Looks like someone had a "brain fart" for sure.

Probably a Vanderbilt fan having a ruptured brain aneurysm after rushing the court against a team they hadn’t beaten in Nashville since 2016.

On February 11 in Baseball History...​

• 1965 - Braves officials, who already intend to move to Atlanta for 1966, propose to pay five cents from each ticket sold to a fund for the purpose of bringing a new major league team to Milwaukee. Teams, Inc., a civic group, accepts the offer, buys out the park for Opening Day, and stages Stand Up for Milwaukee Day.
  
  
• 1974 - Forty-eight major-league players invoke the new arbitration procedure established to settle contract differences. Pitcher Dick Woodson (seeking a contract for $29,000) and the Twins (offering $23,000) are the first to present their respective cases to Detroit lawyer and labor arbitrator Harry H. Platt, who must decide on one of the monetary amounts presented. Woodson wins.
  
  
• 1982 - The San Diego-St. Louis Ozzie Smith-for-Garry Templeton deal finally goes through, more than two months after it was first announced. Smith's new salary with the Cardinals will be determined by an outside arbitrator.

Ray Boyd died on his birthday. Talk about coming full circle.

Also, fun fact: Did you know Ozzie Smith had a higher career OBP than Slugging %? That’s pretty hard to accomplish.

A lot of people have died on the same day they were born. I find that fascinating.

SoftVols start season in Clearwater,
2-0. Took down Howard, 21-0, the aioli iOS, 9-2. Siri doesn’t agree… Illinois. Gotta love it.

Keeping regular posters updated when the TN Vols play their basketball game ...
Tune in tonight to watch another sloppy train wreck at the end of a Vols basketball game.
I'm not sure IF I give a rat's ass right now to watch another disappointed lost at the end.
