He looked down at me and uttered four words that nearly sent me to tears: "I don't do that."Seamus O'Toolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-30621206789889060492008-02-12T15:50:00.000-05:002008-02-12T15:50:00.000-05:00Bo was the best. I was at the Yankee game where he hit three home runs in three at bats before getting hurt in the outfield. If I remember correctly, I think he got hurt diving for a ball that ended up being an inside the park home run for Deion Sanders.Different Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-46315847316018729822008-02-11T15:25:00.000-05:002008-02-11T15:25:00.000-05:00Agreed, it's time to put the dolla into wide circulation.<BR/><BR/>Luke Wyatt, a.k.a. Vandy's head equipment mgr. and one of the nicest guys I've ever met once told me that his counterpart at Auburn informed him that Bo took his pads off one day after practice and ran a high 4.2's hand timed 40, on grass.<BR/><BR/>That kind of once in a lifetime crazy shit is why I believed the home run story.Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596964942348981811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-9175615163383252262008-02-11T14:58:00.000-05:002008-02-11T14:58:00.000-05:00i have also heard these rumors about a homer on top of memorial... no idea about distance though.<BR/><BR/>and as far as a thrd scorer: i'm not saying he'll average anything near AJ and Shan, but coach's decision to leave the last second shot completely in Dolla's hands tells me something... not to mention that half court shot against Auburn... i really think the kid is coming into his own...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-32932252946800559352008-02-11T11:16:00.000-05:002008-02-11T11:16:00.000-05:00With such a short amount of time left on the clock, I thought we were done. I was fortunate to be sitting behind the Vandy basket in the second half. Things looked bleak.<BR/><BR/>Dolla's drive and shot was awesome. The arena which had exploded after the lay-up earlier went deafly silent and I was the only one cheering.<BR/><BR/>It was awesome, what a big win.Stanimalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-19657028070364542612008-02-11T10:14:00.000-05:002008-02-11T10:14:00.000-05:00Don't know the veracity of the Bo story, but do remember that the current incarnation of Hawkins field (put up around 2000, if I'm not mistaken) would not be the one Bo played on. So, to truly know the dimensions, you'd have to know where the plate was placed before that. Obviously, I might be wrong on this, and the distance from Memorial might be the same, but it's something to look into. Also, I would think the roof to be no more than 500 feet from home currently. Remember, we have a short porch in left with a wall to compensate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-4218016790843864622008-02-11T09:10:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:10:00.000-05:00In the words of Joe Fisher: <BR/>YYESSSSSS!!!<BR/><BR/>Time for some payback over the next 10 days or so in Memorial.<BR/><BR/>BTW: An older VU operations maintenance guy told me during my days in the 'ville that Bo Jackson once hit a home run that carried to the roof of Memorial on the fly...he swore it was true. It has to be 600+ feet. Anyone else heard this? <BR/><BR/>it could be bullshit, but with Bo I'm inclined to believe it.Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01596964942348981811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-58186357597413005142008-02-11T00:03:00.000-05:002008-02-11T00:03:00.000-05:00Drivers seat? i doubt it, but a good win.

I would rather have three very serviceable role players.<BR/><BR/>Try enjoying the wins...it's much more fun.BPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11324920022782114611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-7723573853686338152008-02-10T18:17:00.000-05:002008-02-10T18:17:00.000-05:00Oglivy needs to improve his mental toughness if we are going to do anything in either the SEC tournament and beyond. I'm still waiting for a legite 3rd option on offense. And I guess a Kevin Stallings team will never learn to reboundDouglas Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.com
