VANDY TOPS HARVARD 79-70 IN NCAA ACTION:
What an awesome performance by the Dores! Vandy held the lead from late in the first period – and Harvard attempted a rally in the last several minutes of the game, but fell short. We go on to face Wisconsin in the next round. WAY TO GO VANDY!! GO DORES!!

TOM SOUDAN . . . EMERGES AS A THREAT TO FRANK BILLER AS THE MOST GIFTED TICK SPORTS WRITER.
A most excellent column erupted from the mind of Tom:
BETA PI BLOG PRESENTS THE DEBUT OF . . .
THE SOUDAN SPORTS SURGE
By Tom Soudan, VU Class of 81
All-Time-Great-Steve Keith needs no introduction to the T'ICS who lived during Rod Yanker's reign. Steve was unique. He could play Tails on a Friday night and run with Clay Heron (where are you brother?) on the cross country team on Saturday. He was a wide receiver on the intramural football team that got robbed in the championship game against the Sigma Chi dicks. He took catching a Frisbee to a new level. His hair was a little long but that was the late seventies. Recruited by fellow St. Louis native
Randy Martin, Steve passed through the Star Chamber in 1978.
Coaching stints at Emory, UTEP, Alabama and Georgia Tech finally lead him to his dream job at Vandy. He has coached a lot of All American runners. Check out his bio on line (http://www.vucommodores.com/sports/w-xc/mtt/keith_steve00.html).
Winning the SEC Championship this year brought him SEC Coach of the Year and NCAA Regional Coach of the Year honors. Because Steve is gainfully employed by Vanderbilt University, I wanted to mention that he was an outstanding student /citizen during his college career. Never veered from the hallowed path we were all walking. Quoting Brother Keith “Don’t ask me what it’s like to be out in the real world because I’ve never left campus!”
Where are Brother Jim Keith, Steve Boyd, and Rip Hawk?

Hat's off to Steve Keith who has parlayed a career to include hanging out with young, physically fit coeds.

FROM FRANK BILLER:
"Dynamite, dynamite, when Vandy starts to fight!
Down the field with blood to yield,
If need be save the shield.
If victory's won when battle's done,
Then Vandy's name will rise in fame.
But win or lose,
The fates will choose,
And Vandy's name will be the same!
Dynamite, dynamite,
When Vandy starts to fight!
This and "We Hate School" is about all I remember from Athenian Sing.
Love to the beautiful "Sireens" in FL and all the Vandy Nation
