QUOTES OF THE DAY
“I think it’s very good. We’ve been in the games and offensively we may have gotten a little intimidated. Hopefully we can calm that down. I don’t know what there is to fear, if they eat us we’ll sour in their stomach and they’ll throw us back up. We just have to go play and have some fun.”

“Everybody was just cruising around the golf course today. There really was a great atmosphere going. They looked really relaxed playing.”
— Women’s golf coach Greg Allen on his team’s start to the year (Source: VUcommodores.com)
“We’re just trying to emphasize one shot at a time. Keep hitting good shots…Stay committed to the process and not worry about results. Our goal is to be peaking by April and May, and not necessarily right now.”

TWEETS OF THE DAY
@RobbieCaldwell (Robbie Caldwell): Ole Miss. We are getting ready for our first road trip. Will be a fast week end. Games starts at 11:20 so it will be an early day. Be there!
@RealSkipBayless (ESPN’s Skip Bayless): Also watched CC and David Price the Vandy Dandy go at it 0-0 for eight innings. Big time left-handed power pitching. Best 0-0 you’ll see.
@BleacherNYC: David Price pitched his heart out. He was very good. As good as Sabathia. Love how he gutted it out in the 7th and 8th.
RANDOM VIDEO OF THE DAY
