MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11- 4:59 PM
Happy Monday to all.
Just wanted to hit quickly on some news and notes around the building.
First, we just added a clip of Jermaine Beal’s winning jumper at South Carolina that lifted the Commodores to a thrilling 66-65 victory in Columbia. I loved the play call… notice how everyone just splits into different directions off of the inbounds play, sending the Gamecock defense into mass hysteria. Watch it below:
Also, you can watch more videos on our VUcommodores YouTube page. Make sure you subscirbe to the page so you will be notified when videos are added.
Second, we launced a website so fans can keep track of Shan Foster’s race to break Matt Freije’s all-time scoring record at Vanderbilt. The senior sharpshooter is only 119 points away from first place. The site also has some other cool things like new desktop wallpaper of number 32. Check it all out at www.vucommodores.com/shanfoster.
Third, Tuesday is another big day for David Price. In the morning, the No. 1 overall draft pick in last spring’s Major League Draft, will receive the first annual “Butch McCord Student of the Game Award.” The award is being presented by Nashville RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) in recognition of his achievements on and off the field and the positive example he has set for Nashville-area kids. Later that night at the men’s basketball home game against Kentucky, he will be presented with the Golden Spikes award for the first time during half time. Eric Campbell and Matt Titus from USA Baseball will be at the ceremony as well as R.J. Harrison from the Tampa Rays. Make sure you stay in your seats for this special recognition.
Finally, another video clip to end today’s post. This is for those of you going through withdrawal because there have been no new episodes of The Office due to the Writers Guild of America strike. Yes, things may seem awful, sorta like Michael Scott trying to get over his breakup with Carol, but there will be a brighter day.. one day. (well, as long as we have iTunes songs to click on repeatedly without purchasing).
