Sports Tidbits
The Vanderbilt Commodores bounced back from their opening game loss to UT and won the SEC baseball tournament Sunday.
Brackets were announced yesterday for the NCAA baseball regionals and Vanderbilt is the top-seed in the country. With the top-seed, Vandy will host an opening round regional tournament this weekend and could host a super-regional next weekend, should they continue to advance. The other three teams in Vandy’s region are Memphis, Austin Peay and Michigan. Vanderbilt opens play Friday against Austin Peay.
Meanwhile, over at the whatever-we’re-calling-it-this-week arena, things are looking a bit more promising for Nashville hockey fans. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said yesterday that the NHL plans for the Predators to remain in Nashville beyond the upcoming season. Last week when owner Craig Leopold sold the team, it was rumored that the new owner might be interested in moving the team after next season.
It’s good news that the NHL wants the team to remain here. But I think we’ll have to wait and see what happens with the new ownership before we stop worrying that the team might leave us.
