    Other than a quote from Corbin dismissing this, I haven’t heard much about the scholarship use, care to elaborate on the issue? I’ve been a pretty big Vandy baseball fan for the last 8-10 years now and have never really heard about a scholarship issue.

     I just don't really trust what Corbin says about it.  I am not saying it is wrong and I hope it is all on the up and up. 

  2. Hoping that firestick works its magic and we can watch the game.  Vandy is a great place to play with a really fun atmosphere.  We took in a series there last March against UF.

    What they build there baseball wise is amazing and I hope the recent questions regarding their scholarship use turns out to be nothing.

  3. I believe I am the owner of the last plunger ever given at Humps.  I was there with my oldest having lunch a few days before they closed and asked our waitress if I could bye one.  She said they didn't have any left but 10 minutes later came back with one she said was in the basement.  She didn't charge me for it and asked if I wanted shot in ti. I should have accepted but thought it would look back in front of a 7 year old.

    Does anyone happen to know if SLU has shown any interest in Jayce Catchings out at Liberty, by the way??  He's beginning to grow into his adult body (up to 6'3"), is lifting, and I think was 2nd in MO in scoring last year as a junior...avg. over 26/game!  He can fill it up.  & I happen to know from an insider he is being under-recruitedc -- I wonder why?? -- but anyway he has not blown up yet, for sure.  Maybe some think he is not D1 ready??  I'm not sure.  His older brother Kale plays at Harvard, who barely lost out to Yale this year for the dance.  and yes: both are related to former 76ers Harvey Catchings.

    Tamika is their aunt. My mom is really close with theirs and I ask her for the scoop in Jayce all the time. He’s getting some offers but not to the level I thought he would be. He is growing and is a great kid. I would love to see SLU look at him.  

  5. Tom Pagnozzi.  Tom is the reason I came to SLU.  I grew up playing  baseball in S. Florida and the guy I trained with growing up Wally Horsman was friends with Tom.  Tom had introduced him to the then baseball coach at SLU Bob Hughes.  That intro started the Bucky Dent Baseball school summer camps in St. Louis.  My junior year in high school as I was looking for places to play in college Wally asked me to check out SLU.  I had no idea where St. Louis was on a map but remember watching the Billikens in the NCAA tourney and my dad telling their coach's name was Spoon which I found funny.

    So I took a visit to St. Louis on a fall weekend in 1996.   It just so happened to be the day or 2 after (cant recall exactly) the Cards got bounced by the Braves.  Bob picked me up from the airport and went straight to Busch Stadium.  He gave me a tour then took me into the locker room where a lot of the players were emptying their lockers.  I met Tom, Ozzie, Wilie and a bunch of others.  It was pretty sweet.  After that we went to campus for a tour and to take in the team's practice.  That night I hung out with the guys and did a lot of the same the following day.  On Sunday before I was to fly home I called my parents from Bob's office and told them I was going to be a Billiken.   

    That's my story and I have been going to games since my freshman year at the Kiel.

    Neat. Like to get a look see why they have the court raised like that. I that outfield pass through temporary or is it always like that?

    I am not sure but I would think it is always that way.  There didn't look like another way to get to the bleachers and more importantly the beer garden.
