For the second year in a row, a member of Vanderbilt’s group made a call to the bullpen for assistance in tying a bow tie. Last year it was Coach Derek Mason and this year it was Ralph Webb. Each time, Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated provided a lending hand. As a bonus, he also helped Webb with his pocket square.
