QUOTES OF THE DAY
Basketball coach Kevin Stallings on the legacy of Roy Skinner:

“Coach Skinner had so much class. I didn’t play for him; I didn’t coach for him. But it was obvious any time you were with him that his intention was for it not to be about him. It was about his players, the program and the school.”
Football coach Robbie Caldwell on the Commodores’ offensive woes:
Source: The Tennessean
“We had a couple of good things happen early, and therefore we got excited. We got points in the first quarter. That’s what y’all have been complaining about, right? We just weren’t able to keep it going the next three (quarters). The proof in the pudding is not always the play-calling.”
Larry Smith on the quarterback rotation:

“I wasn’t puzzled. (Quarterbacks coach Jimmy) Kiser said that all week, that Funk was going to go in the third series just to see how things work out. You know, get a change of pace on the offensive side of the ball.”
TWEETS OF THE DAY
@vandyxctrack (VU XC/Track): http://twitpic.com/32wxfg – Early morning with the ladies
@earlbennett80 (Earl Bennett): Vandy everywhere! My homie Mryon Lewis at CB for Tampa Bay PBU
@darrenrovell (CNBC’s Darren Rovell): World Series loses to SNF head-to-head. Sunday Night Football overnight rating is 11.8. WS overnight rating is 10.4. It is believed to be the 1st time ever that a primetime NFL game has outrated a World Series game.
@slmandel (SI.com’s Stewart Mandel): Wow. Kenny Powers brought the heat tonight.
@CapuanoESPN (SEC’s Cara Capuano): Lost screen tests from Back to the Future on SNL this week were outstanding. The impressions by Jay Pharoah get better by the show!
