Vanderbilt Man Bangs: Hating Memorial Gym Close and Personal

Not long ago I got to go to Bloomington, Indiana and watch the Cats pull away in the second half against the pesky Hoosiers. Assembly Hall is one of the quirkiest gyms around, but is closely rivaled by Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville and its pointless baseline bench areas.

Tomorrow I get the chance to judge for myself in the battle of the crappiest places to play big time college basketball. I will be going with Michael Lee into the sea of Man-Bangs and gold to bring you coverage of the big game. Vandy isn't quite good enough for me to hate them the same way, but they remind me a lot of Duke. They would probably take that as a back handed compliment, but I really don't see anything complimentary about being compared to the Devil.

There is no doubt that Coach Kevin Stallings has raised the profile of the Commodores during his time in Nashville. It is hard to understand why he doesn't get more sniffs from greener pastures, but it probably has something to do with his resemblance to Kevin from the Office. I don't understand why you need a coach to look like George Clooney to get the job done, but I guess Athletic Directors don't like the Shrek look for whatever reason.

Anyway, check here tomorrow for more, should be fun!
