When down-the-road rival and SEC baseball heavy hitting Vanderbilt comes to town, expect to see the ball fly. Unfortunately, the Blue Raiders were on the losing end of Wednesday night's game, but not before some late-game excitement provided by Bryce Brentz.

Perserverence… The UT Mens Basketball Team
As the last-second desperation shot came up short and heads began to hang, I felt an overwhelming rush of gratitude for a group of young men who overcame adversity time after time in a season filled with highs and lows. Lows coming in the form of the star player doing his best Lil (or little I guess) Wayne impersonation. Toting [...]
