PrintSo this went out to all Vandy students this morning in preparation for the big game tomorrow, thought I would share it with AOG:
Vandy Fans -
Last week, one of our biggest rivals came into Nashville and Memorial Gym and left with bruised egos and a loss, partly because of you. You created such an electric atmosphere that made beating them so much sweeter. Thank you for making Memorial Gym the best place in the country to play college basketball.
This Saturday, my teammates and I are taking on the #2-ranked Kentucky Wildcats in Memorial Gym. We're all pumped for the game, and I hope you are, too. I loved looking over at the student section during the last game and seeing nothing but white, so this week we want all of you to wear GOLD to the game, arrive early, and be loud and crazy. As much as we, the team, love your energy and passion, please keep your cheers as fresh and clean as I am. Over the past few weeks, the NCAA and media outlets have been targeting student sections for their behavior, and we don’t want anything to happen that would change the magic that is Memorial Gym. Let’s continue to act like we’ve been there before.
Finally, my teammates and I really love the trip across the court to the student section after the game to celebrate, but we can't do this if you rush the court! So, please, stay in your seats and we will come get crazy with you.
Coming off a great win last night, we are ready for Saturday and Kentucky, and hope you are, too. Come early, wear GOLD, and scream until you can’t breathe. See you there!
Peace,
Dolla Beal

Do you normally "RUSH" the court after a LOSS?
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
classy
good post, though. I’m just worried that you’ve got everything packed for tomorrow. Let’s make a checklist:
1) Track Pants circa 1992
2) Old starter jacket or starter sweatshirt. Now, I know starter was an expensive brand, so anything will work
3) No shaving cream. You don’t need to shave
4) Whiskey
5) You guys don’t usually seem to wear deoderant, so that’s out
6) A little spending cash for some Winston’s – I think around 5.75 a pack now
7) Adjustable hat circa 1996. Let me remind you we are fourteen years behind those teams
Good question, oldcat. Oddly, rushing the court or field after a loss is unique to Kentucky. Please see below for an example of this Wildcat tradition.
Idiotic Post
Hhaahahahah Basketball and Football are complete polar opposites in Kentucky. Whenever UK football beats a top ranked team in football, they always rush cause it is so rare. Kinda like wore situation with Vandy football, except your team sucks major cat balls. I repeat this UK never rushes the court for a BASKETBALL game. If we are the top of the college bball world, why do we have to rush? Have fun losing today and having Ogilvy cry like a bitch when Cousins statistically rapes him!
