“It’s just one of those really annoying things when you live in Tennessee. I was at a camp this summer in Colorado and I saw orange T’s and it kind of made me sick. I’m on the West Coast and — Boom! — I’m seeing orange T’s. It’s all over the place. It kind of makes me sick.”
Forward Joe Duffy on what fans can expect from his blog for The New York Times:

“I promise to keep it fresh, never boring and as spontaneous as a Bill Raftery comment after a ridiculous play — ‘Like a Belgian waffle … sweet!’ As I told the freshmen on their first day, there is no ‘I’ in ‘Team,’ but there is a ‘We’ in ‘Awesome,’ so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that is the Vandy basketball season.”
