Video: Greg Allen talks about the 'Dores third round and changing a flat tire

By A. Boggs

Oh, the adventures of the road. Just when you thought you would have a nice relaxing evening after a great Italian meal, you get back to the hotel to find the back left tire of your rental car completely flat. I didn't flip the Commodore pit crew, although I thought long and hard about it, but decided to ask the coach about the incident afterwards, along with his thoughts on Vanderbilt's third round in Wilmington.

We're all pretty pooped after a long day at the course. We're back at it again tomorrow for the final round to try and get some hardware and to set a record. VU's best finish in the NCAA Championship was a fifth place finish at the 2004 championship, and the top four teams receive a trophy from the NCAA. It would be a great finish to a great year.

Until then, good night from Wilmington.

Commodore golfers add pink to their color scheme this week

By A. Boggs

The Commodores have donned pink ribbons on their bags this week at the NCAA Championship in honor of LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg, who tragically passed away last week in Las Vegas.  Blasberg played for head coach Greg Allen for two years while Allen was the head coach at the University of Arizona.

Attached is a picture of Brooke Goodwin's bag with the ribbon and "Skip" printed on the ribbon.  Allen tells a story that on Blasberg's arrival to Arizona, a trainer asked her to skip around the track to get warmed up for a workout.  She didn't know how to skip, so the moniker was given to her by Allen and her teammates.

The Commodore family passes on their condolences to the Blasberg and University of Arizona women's golf family, who will celebrate her life Wednesday morning in California at a memorial service.
