I bet Corbin told his catcher to check the bats after big hits to look for the sticker. They were hoping to find a truly illegal bat. I wonder if the bat was returned after the game or sent off for examination.

I can't remmber seeing anything as bush league as that. Beck earned a run and they took it away from us. Good thing we didn't lose by a run.

Obviously, something is wrong with the procedures if a sticker can come off the bat. Someone in the SEC who is getting paid to do things should come up with a better system of verifying the bats so there can be no monkey business like this. The league should be embarrassed. Why is the SEC so great in so many sports and yet the administration is so bush league?

Beck says in the post game he saw the sticker fly off in the batting cage and looked down and thought "whatever". If you know the sticker is required why would you take the bat to the plate? Why not reach down, pick the sticker up and stick it back on the bat? And if it wouldn't stay stuck surely there is a procedure by which you can notify the umps and get a new sticker. I thought the response was lame

i think the system is lame. If a sticker can fly off of a bat during batting practice AFTER it's ben inspected and stickered, what a stupid procedure and stupid system. Yeah, Beck should have done something when he saw it fly off the bat, but it just goes to show that could happen at anytime without the hitter happening to see it. So somebudy in the league needs to come up with a better inspection and verification system than some cheesy stickers.

Apparently the good lord did not think it necessary to bless you with a brain.

Ooooh, gettin personal on a message board. Hey those announcers sucked and many noticed how bad they are. Highlighting the issue with the lights, which didn’t bother our guys by the way. Propping up the weight room “prowess“ of Candy. There were a few moments of Vol props but they were pretty much Candy lickers. Dang, not gonna let a small minded petty personal remark like that steal my Mike Honcho happiness, pal.

Fingers… at least, one of them. They showed him during the bottom of the 9th.

I've seen this twit several times in Hoover. He didn't always use his fingers...could emit those ear-piercing whistles just sitting back. I know it's hard to believe, but he has actually lost some volume over the years.:eek:

I mentioned I saw a guy in orange up there where he was whistling and he looked irritated, but the Vandy fans weren't looking pleased, either. Also, nobody sits next to him. I think he hurts more then helps-- hurts recruiting (I wouldn't want to go there with that loon whistling all the time) and how does it really help win a game? It drives fans away.

Honestly, just seeing the guy and his actions leads me to believe he seriously has a mental issue. It's a nervous habit, almost like he cant control himself

I don’t understand why Vanderbilt doesn’t tell him to stop or leave.

EH, as a player or coach you dont really notice things like that. I dont see it having any effect on recruiting.

I would imagine that “tamper proof” means they cant be removed and then reapplied. I doubt it would really prevent them from coming off. Similar to how people slice their registration sticker so that it cant be taken off and reused.

There are permanent AND removable adhesives.
