Joe Fisher’s Mailbag Submit Your Question | View Archive Wondering about a player, a past game or another topic involving the Commodores? The Voice of the Commodores Joe Fisher will answer a variety of email questions from fans during the season on VUcommodores.com. |
Joe, it doesn’t appear that Coach Johnson is having a Coach’s Show on TV this year. Any specific reasons why? It was great to be able to hear him break down and describe specific plays from the previous game. Thanks. — John
John – Yes, that is a change. One major reason for the existence of coach’s shows on regional TV was so recruits could see you. We are fortunate that this season, for the first time, we were actually able to secure with CSS a replay of every game on Sunday afternoon so now fans have the opportunity to actually see the entire game every week. We do continue to have our weekly call-in radio show every Monday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Commodore Grille in the Holiday Inn Vanderbilt. We also this year have a post game highlights package on vucommodores.com, as well as a pregame visit with one of our assistant coaches that goes onto the web each Thursday.
Will the Commodore baseball team be having their annual Black/Gold Series this fall or has it been canceled due to their upcoming trip to Japan? Thanks. — Jerry
Jerry – Yes, actually the Black and Gold series is scheduled to take place on October 15, 16 and 18. The game times are tentatively set for 6 p.m. on the 15th and 16th, and 1 p.m. on the 18th. Incidentally, the team’s fall practice schedule has begun. Practices are open to the public; 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Times can of course change because of weather.
