Feb. 10, 2012—In case you haven’t turned on ESPN within the past week, I’m here to let you know that College Gameday will be filmed from Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym this Saturday, for the first time in school history! As your unofficial sports blogger, I hope that you know me better than to think that I would miss...
Sophomore Slam-Dunk Tailgate
Jan. 19, 2012—I just got back from watching the Commodores dominate the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Admiral’s Club at Memorial Gym. The Admirals Club is a state-of-the-art lounge with TVs, trophies and an awesome view of the court. You may be asking yourself how I was able to get to such an exclusive room. Well, Vanderbilt’s...
DORES dominate in SEC play (and the Magic of Memorial)
Jan. 16, 2012—This Saturday, the Commodores men’s basketball team improved their record to 13-4 with their win against the Georgia Bulldogs. They also remained undefeated in conference play, with a record of 3-0!
Student Nights at Climb Nashville
Nov. 29, 2011—Climb Nashville is a local climbing gym located about 2 miles from campus. It is a fun place to go hang out with friends, experience something new, and potentially find a new hobby! I started off, as many did, climbing during Student Nights at Climb Nashville…and now here I am, as many are, addicted to...
Habitat for Humanity: Commodore Trot 5k

The nationally ranked Vanderbilt Commodores opened up the 2011-2012 season in Nashville on November 11th with a victory over the Oregon Ducks of the Pacific 12 (Pac-12) conference. Soon after the win over...
Football Time in Tennessee
Nov. 20, 2011—As you might remember, I’m from Knoxville, TN. When I realized the Vanderbilt/University of Tennessee football game was the first Saturday of Thanksgiving Break, I knew I had to go.
Home Again for Some R and R
Nov. 19, 2011—I woke up this morning in my bed at home in Miami Beach. Thanksgiving is great for Vanderbilt students. Whereas most students have just Thursday and Friday off, we have the entire week. I will be home for nine days, so when I get back to Vanderbilt I will be fully refreshed for finals.
Vanderbilt Wins
Nov. 6, 2011—I am finally back in Vandyland after an amazing weekend in Gainesville. My roommate and I flew into Tampa and spent the night at her house, before heading to the University of Florida to watch our Commodores take on the Florida Gators. Even though our football team couldn’t come home with a win, I came...
A Heartbreaking Loss
Oct. 29, 2011—Today was a sad day for Vanderbilt football. We lost to No. 10 Arkansas by a score of 28-31. Despite the score, I’d say that we have a lot to be proud of.
