The Unofficial Vanderbilt Commodores Blog * Now With Fewer Law Degrees!
Tough to plate 11 and lose, but that was last night’s game. The good news is we planned for a Johnny Wholestaff affair, whereas the Boomers used their 2nd best starter. Wyatt “Ice Town” Nadeau needs to win the Mayoral election on the mound today for us to take this much needed home series. On […]
Hey everyone, I noticed there wasn’t a post up for the bowling semis vs. Wichita State, so I fixed that glitch. Comment away. Here’s the link to watch it. Winner faces the unstoppable force that is Jacksonville State tonight at 6pm (I think… can’t remember the time precisely).
Mancino Man was weasing the juice late in last night’s game, and all but singlehandedly turned a pitcher’s duel into a 10-5 blowout win for the Diamond Dores. In addition to Mancino Man’s 2 dongs, a double, and 6 RBI, The Brode Man and The Hulk had a pair of doubles in the 4th, Hulk […]
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment Vanderbilt bowling seeks to win its fourth national title this weekend to send longtime coach John Williamson out on top as the Commodores face Arkansas State in the national semifinal today. You can watch on NCAA.com starting at 8 AM CT. Baseball won the series opener 10-5 over Oklahoma last […]
Thursday at 6pm CT on SEC Network, Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Saturday at 1pm CT on SECN+. It’s back to back SEC-Big XII Challenges for The Diamond Dores, but at least they’ll be at The Hawk this time. Speaking of the new-ish Big XII teams in the SEC, absolutely no one is […]
6pm CT on SECN+. After getting housed in a double header in Milkman Station on Friday, the Diamond Dores welcome a directional Kentucky college for a mid-week get right game before a three game set against the OK Boomers. On the Mound (I’m guessing…) Tuesday @ 6:00pm SECN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” […]
The power bats showed out Thursday in a 14-8 pummeling that was actually a relatively close game for a while. Today, due to weather concerns Saturday, we’re playing two. Here’s Barczi Rescue with his third donger of the game, for instance: On the Mound Friday @ 2:00pm on SECN+ Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt “Ice […]
Thursday at 6pm CT on SECN+, Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Saturday at 2pm CT on SECN+. After a strong week sweeping The Knoxville Buttchuggers and dominating Belmont in the midweek, the Diamond Dores travel to Milkmen Cult Land to see if their luck and positive trajectory continues. The aTm Cult of Milkmen […]
6pm CT on SECN+. After three straight improbably walk-off victories over THEM, what will the Diamond Dores bring against Belmont? On the Mound Tuesday @ 6:00pm SECN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” Hamilton (0-0; 5.65 ERA) vs. Belmont ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Lineup See you in the comments.
Post VANDERBILT Baseball and/or SEC Baseball questions in the comments here. Earlier in the week, we received the news that our already beleaguered pitching staff would not have Austin Nye this season (and potentially next, depending on how he rehabs from what we can only assume to be Tommy John surgery). Coming off a brutal […]
11am CT on ESPN2. Two extra inning walk-off wins in a row, and we’ve clinched the series against The Franzia Funnelers. Friday’s was a 10 inning Johntone the Elder winner, but Saturday’s… Saturday damn near never ended. After both Nadeau and Mack dueled through 3 scoreless frames, the dam finally broke in the bottom of […]
1pm CT on SEC Network. Yesterday’s game was a much needed victory over the hated School to the East—an extra inning 3-2 victory fueled by 7 and 1/3 IP of one run, 9 K ball by Connor “The Spice” Fennel” and a 10th inning walk-off single by Johnstone the Elder. Today, we go for win […]
Friday at 7pm CT on ESPNU, Saturday at 1pm CT on SEC Network, and Sunday at 11am CT on ESPN2. This might be the first time in 20 years that neither us, nor the Franzia Funnelers to the East are ranked. Gross. Clearly, ESPN didn’t think this would happen to both of us, as they […]
29-4 (13-4) AP/Coaches: 6/6 NET: 7 March 27, 2026 1:30PM CT at Dickie’s Arena ESPN | Radio Call | Live Stats 24-10 (?12-6?) AP/Coaches: 22/25 NET: 21 We are in the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2009 after a rough and tough thanks 20-point win over Illinois. Sacha Washington played her final game […]
2pm CT on SECN+. Coming off a brutal road sweep in Clangaville, the Diamond Dores are woefully in need of a midweek confidence booster before The Knoxville Buttchuggers come to town this weekend. In comes the usually tough mid-major, Tennessee Tech. While they normally are in contention for a conference championship and NCAA Berth, it […]
28-4 (13-4) AP/Coaches: 6/6 NET: 7 March 23, 2026 6:00PM CT at Memorial Gymnasium ESPN2 | Radio Call | Live Stats 22-11 (11-10) AP/Coaches: ORV/ORV NET: 30 We are in the Round of 32 for the first time since 2013 thanks in part to a 30-point, single-season record-setting performance by Mikayla Blakes and double-doubles from […]
1pm CT on SECN+. Don’t get swept. Other than our Women’s Shooty Hoops team, this is turning into quite the depressing weekend in the Vanderbilt sports world. Clanga’s Lithuanian Lefty dominated our lineup to the tune of 14 Ks. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this is the type of pitcher and type of performance […]
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment Well, that sucked. I can’t believe Nebraska fans (and the rest of the internet) are making me root for Florida to blow them out. Look what you’ve done. Baseball lost last night, too. At least the women’s team won big. Today’s college basketball schedule:
Vanderbilt is 27-8 this season, and a win tonight would tie the 1992-93 team for the school’s single-season wins record. Nebraska, tonight’s opponent, has already set its own single-season school wins record and, for the first time in school history, is in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Oklahoma City site was heavily […]

The women tip off at 6 against High Point, who doesn’t crack even the top 20 teams we’ve played this year in terms of NET. […]
6pm CT on SECN+. Listen. Clanga is better than we are this year. You’re just going to have to accept it. Along with Tejas and Arky, they are one of the elite cadre of SEC teams this year. You used to be able to write Vanderbilt in such a group every year in Sharpie, but […]
The School: University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Formerly just known as the University of Nebraska, until 1968 when they absorbed the Municipal University of Omaha. Somehow not the newest university in the Big Ten. Somehow in the Big Ten. When I was a kid, they were in the Big Eight. Location: Lincoln, Nebraska. As the name would […]
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment Yep, the game thread overload is here. Consider: Yeah, it’s going to be a fun day here at Anchor of Gold dot com. Sadly, though, the bowling team won’t be joining us, as they were eliminated from the Conference USA Tournament with losses to Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech yesterday. […]
Friday at 7pm CT on SEC Network, Saturday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Sunday at 1pm CT on SECN+. #6 Clanga ‘26 Record: 17-4 (1-2 SEC). In OOC play, Clanga mostly racked up wins over cupcakes, opening with series sweeps over Hofstra and Delaware, surrounded by midweek wins over Troy, Alcorn State, and Austin Peay. They […]
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment Vanderbilt bowling is currently competing in the Conference USA Bowling Championship starting at 9 AM CT, which you can watch on ESPN+. And! Speaking of women’s bowling, men’s basketball beat Southland member McNeese State 78-68 yesterday for its first NCAA Tournament win since 2012, setting up a women’s bowling-themed grudge […]
