First: Happy Birthday, Dad! (Or as AOG might call him, KingJamesIII...)

Now that that's out of the way, enjoy these links, fresh from the tubes of the internet:

Stallings talks Beal's Senior Day, Tinsley's struggles and more at Vanderbilt | Tennessean Blogs

On Jer­maine Beal's career and him excee­ding expectations ... "I would say he’s excee­ded my expec­ta­tions. He’s excee­ded them from a work-ethic stand­point, although I knew he was a hard wor­ker when he got him. He’s excee­ded them from just what a won­der­ful young man he’s been. He’s cer­tainly excee­ded them this year on the court. "I don’t know why I’m sur­pri­sed because his work ethic is terri­fic and his off­sea­son regi­ment is sort of legen­dary. I don’t know why he’s excee­ded my expec­ta­tions, but he has. He’s had a terri­fic year."

Goulbourne to remain out with foot injury at Vanderbilt

"It's a stress reac­tion, just like the stage right before a stress frac­ture. If I had been pla­ying on it (this past week), it pro­bably would have frac­tu­red. So I caught it right before it did. It’s on the inside of my foot. "It just came up ran­domly. It wasn’t hur­ting me. Then all of a sud­den this pain star­ted gra­dually get­ting big­ger and big­ger. It star­ted hur­ting me when I was wal­king around, so I had to say something to the trainer.

Vanderbilt Vandy actually climbed from No. 13 to No. 12 on the S-Curve despite the loss to Kentucky. If anything, the Commodores should feel empowered by that performance.

Weekly Watch: Week 14 | ESPN

Vanderbilt: The Commodores couldn't beat Kentucky. That's OK. Vandy will be fine in the NCAAs. The Commodores can work on their seeding in the coming weeks.

Baseball Players of the Week | SEC Sports News

PITCHER OF THE WEEK Sonny Gray • Vanderbilt Sophomore • RHP • Smyrna, Tenn. • Gray threw 8.0 innings (longest outing of any SEC pitcher on the weekend) of three-hit shutout baseball in the Commodores season opening win over Niagara Friday night. • He did not allow a runner to second base (only one in game) until the eighth inning and struck out eight batters to just one walk. Dating back to last season, the right-hander has not allowed a run in his last 17 and 2/3 innings with 21 strikeouts and just two walks while giving up 11 hits.

If this means no Commodore update every morning at 6:55, my morning routine is shot. Seriously. 

UPDATE: Apparently, we can thank the Titans for the move. Vandy saw the handwriting on the wall that it would be pre-empted by the Titans on a regular basis.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about Andre Walker being on the court in Oxford - and certainly not for many minutes if he's out there.

Vitale will be courtside when Vandy and Kentucky collide | Nashville City Paper

His appearance at Memorial (Brad Nessler will do play-by-play and Erin Andrews will be the sideline reporter) is notable because Vitale is one-of-a-kind, which means he can’t be two places or more at once. Hence, there are some locales he does not frequent or ever visit.

Half the SEC is virtually indistinguishable right now in terms of in-conference performance. Below Vanderbilt and above Georgia there are six really similar teams.
