In all fairness to SEC coaches you should give Corbin a nickname of equal elequence to that of the coach of Tennessee. I actually lost sleep over this and I am hoping a man of your abilities could come up with something. I suggest 2-4 nicknames and maybe have a vote.

The nickname should match the personality and I don't know Coach Corbin, but do admire his progress at Vanderbilt.

To be honest, I wish the "Ray-Bans" nickname had not stuck so well. It's like one of those heat-of-the-moment reactions to our recent years in recruiting.

I perfer the more lighthearted ones like "Lightfooted Mules" for MTSU. Those offer no disrespect and just good fun.

Music City Miracle? - (nope, already been used)

CoachT? - (nope, already been used)

Ray-Bans West (not meant to be an insult, just that Ray-Bans was in the state first)

'Dore Man

Intramural Guy (he's undoubtedly the finest intramural baseball coach in the land)

Okay guys, I know someone can come up with something better than this .

All I could think of because I had breakfast with him once, he ordered a chocklate chip bagel and some strange coffee. (Mocca Latte?)

Wizard of West End? ...

so far he working some magic over there.

Course, same could be said for their basketball program at this stage of the season.

Spider:
The best nickname for Corbin is "Money" because he sure signed two big money kind of guys!

We can always wait and see what the UT student "Dog Pound" comes up with....

Those guys (and gals) have a way with words...

May 7-9 in Knoxville

You may want to use the nickname "WINNER". How many people could turn around a program like Vanderbilt is such a short period of time?

I'm as impressed as anyone with what Coach Corbin is doing at Vandy. But the 2003 record was 27-28 overall (14-16) in the SEC. Yeah, I know they swept the Vols (that still hurts). Yeah, I think they are on the upswing, as evidenced by their recruiting.

The name WINNER may apply this year, but the name may still be a year away. Let's see how the 2004 season plays out.

Bizazz,

Intramural guy? Please. You disappoint me.
(Pretty sure you're just kidding)

No suggestions for nicknames from me. But I do have a strong feeling that the "WINNER" label will be applicable in 2004!

How about "Recruitinator"? Seems to be working for the Dores.

Recruitinator 3: Rise of the Dores.

Recruitinator 2: Nov 12-19, Judgement Day

Before Recruitinator 1: The Year of Darkness

Yea, I kinda like it.

"If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot."

HV,

That is kind of catchy. I like it!

VaDad25, the intramural comment wasn't totally meant to slight. But isn't it true that Vandy pulled their athletic program into the University (i.e. intramurals)?

Having said that, the Dores kicked UT's butt last year on the field, this year in recruiting.

Maybe Gee knew what he was doing after all.

Spidey,
This one is for you!

I love it!

Your creation is great!

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

HV, once again you've dazzled us with your talents.

RECRUITINATOR is starting to grow on me.

Bizazz,

Yes, athletics was put under the control of the university instead of a separate athletic department. No, I can't explain totally how it is all going to work. But you know that doesn't automatically make all the NCAA sanctioned sports at Vandy "intramurals". If so, that intramural basketball team sure is doing a number on their more qualified opponents! No offense taken, I know where you are coming from.

HV,

You never cease to amaze me! That's great!

AdDad25,

You're exactly right about the 'Dore's basketball team. I started to mention it in the post, above.

If the Vols can escape Gainesville on Saturday without too much damage to their self esteem, next Wednesday's roundball contest could be a good one.

Sorry about my digression into roundball.

Can't wait until 2/16.

Hiwassee Vol is the Man!
