You've probably noticed that we haven't posted much in the blog over the last few weeks.
Moving forward, we have decided to post all of our information on the Commodores, including blog-type content, on VUcommodores.com.
Don't worry... the information that you enjoyed in the blog will still be available, just fed directly into the VUcommodores' news feed within the main template (and not Blogspot).
At the moment, we are working with CBS College Sports on a site redesign for VUcommodores.com to be unveiled during the month of September. With the redesign, we plan to roll out more content this athletic year to keep you informed 24-7 on your favorite teams.
One feature that's already started... my daily posts titled Barca Break, which serves as a one-stop shop for news related to the Commodores from around the web (with a sprinkle of random pop culture videos that were popular in the blog).
As always, we're open to your feedback and ideas.
Thanks and Go Commodores.

Chopper moves air conditioner on McGugin Center roof
By Ryan Schulz
As anyone who has driven down Jess Neely Drive since April already knows, Vanderbilt’s McGugin Center is in the midst of a major renovation to the football offices and academic center. With the calendar about to turn to August, the renovations are nearing completion.
Around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, construction crews took another step toward completing the project when they brought in a helicopter to relocate a five-ton air conditioning unit from one side of the roof to another.
Lacey Ballard from our video staff captured the footage of the move.

Linebacker Nate Campbell Returns to Football Team
by leathers
The Vanderbilt football roster expanded Tuesday with news that former contributor Nate Campbell is back with the team after a one-year absence.
Campbell, an outside linebacker from Hazen, Ark., has been readmitted to the university and is eligible to play this season, his fourth in a Commodore uniform.
When the Commodores arrive for preseason camp in early August, Campbell will be one of the team's more experienced linebackers. Only returning starters Chris Marve and John Stokes have enjoyed more snaps than Campbell in the linebacker corps.
Campbell posted 16 total tackles while playing in all 25 games of the 2007-08 seasons.

Video: Heavyweights or Bash Brothers?
By Travis Young
I caught up with Adam Smotherman and TJ Greenstone during a summer photo shoot in the weightroom to see what they were up to. The two interior defensive linemen were having some fun with the event as they tested the waters of singing Darius Rucker's "Alright" karaoke style. See video below (and check out David Rutz's feature on the duo).
The second video clip is with Vanderbilt professional staff photographer, John Russell. JR gets a quick lift in before the next photo shoot.

Coach Mac Benefit Tonight in Green Hills
by Leathers
Got plans this evening before settling in front of the tube to watch the Vanderbilt-LSU baseball game?
If your looking an outing that combines Vanderbilt personalities (namely Bobby Johnson) with a great cause (George MacIntyre Flood Relief Fund), then drop by GreenBank in Green Hills (4205 Hillsboro Road) for an open house aimed at raising money for the Coach Mac relief fund.
Sponsored by former VU coach Fred Pancoast/Pancoast & Associates, the open house is from 5-7 pm. Coach Johnson should be there when it starts.
Members of the MacIntyre family will attend to thank the Nashville community for its incredible outpouring of support shown since the recent floods devastated their Bellevue home.
For info, call Pancoast & Associates @ 292-3400 or GreenBank @ 383-3809.

Hamilton Livin' A Dream
by Leathers
Former 'Dore captain Ryan Hamilton has just started livin' a dream. Just days after getting waived by the Saints, the former safety signed Wednesday as a rookie free agent with the Eagles (check here for more).
For Hamilton, a product of Wycombe, Pa., and a huge fan of all Philly pro franchises, nothing ranks higher than a chance to wear the Eagle colors.
The good fortune couldn't happen to a more deserving guy, a player that entered the '09 campaign with All-SEC expectations only to miss the final 10 games after tearing a pectoral muscle at LSU.
Without doubt, the Eagles will get the very best Hamilton has to give.

If you came to the baseball series this weekend, you might have noticed some familiar faces from the gridiron on your way into the stadium.
The Commodore football team spent time interacting with fans, handing out schedule cards, and signing autographs to help promote 2010 season tickets.
"We had a lot of fun out here doing this," rising sophomore tailback Zac Stacy said about the experience. "We're looking to improve on last season, which was a big disappointment for us."
You can reserve your tickets to the seven-game home schedule starting at only $125... click here to purchase.
