PHOTOS OF THE DAY
Like the old segment on Monday Night Football…. “You make the call.”
Of course, I can’t give my opinion on the play due to conference rules. The video highlight has generated almost 5,000 views since Sunday morning with comments from both sides of the argument. (Photo Credit: John Russell)

QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Mike is so deserving of this opportunity. When he called, I emailed the coaches and players and got an immediate emotional response from everyone. He is so well liked and respected by all. He finished his degree last fall while helping us in the office and working on the field daily for no pay. Who does that? Completely ego-less, that’s Mike Baxter. He’s an unbelievable kid. I hope he stays there for a long time.”
— Baseball head coach Tim Corbin on Mike Baxter being promoted to the Major Leagues (Source: VUcommodores.com)
“The second play would have worked, and we felt that we could have walked in if we had done it properly. Of course we could say the same thing on the first two-point call. We rushed it. We practiced it over and over and over, but in the anxiety of playing and getting excited, we rushed it and didn’t give ourselves a chance. Again, that’s my fault. I read somewhere that it takes 16 times to create memory so maybe we need to do it 16 times in a row. I have done that before with some individuals.”
— Football head coach Robbie Caldwell on the failed two-point conversions against Northwestern (Source: VUcommodores.com)
TWEETS OF THE DAY
@RobbieCaldwell (VU head coach Robbie Caldwell): Just had press conference on LSU. Most ?’s about officials from Nwestern game. I can’t comment –our mistakes are what beat us. GATT’s
@CoachHand (VU assistant coach Herb Hand): Tough loss over the weekend, but what a GREAT crowd at the game…also was AWESOME to have my family here in Nashville…now on to LSU.
@WarNo5 (VU tailback Warren Norman): I just wanna be successful
@PDXJulia: I’m so incredibly happy that Mike Baxter is getting to play for the San Diego Padres – he earned his chance at the show!
