“We want to continue that progress and reach our ultimate goal of being competitive at the SEC and NCAA level. That’s what our expectations are, just to continue to climb that mountain.”
— Swimming coach Jeremy Organ on season expectations (Source: VUcommodores.com)
“Usually I’m pretty quiet watching games on TV, but you just can’t be with those guys. I’m still good at screaming at the refs, even if it’s on TV. Catherine screams at the big plays and that scares the heck out of me. It scares the cat, too.”
— Bobby Johnson on watching the Commodores on TV (Source: The Tennessean)
