Very generous of him- 100k is a lot of money.

I'm impressed, 85 guys going to Australia for 100K.

He's produced some decent teams at Vandy the past couple seasons and this is a nice gesture by him. I still think Stallings is an idiot.

lol. This is the equivalent of saying "bless his heart" before running someone in the ground. Lets say something nice so we can get to the real point! I like it.


I don't want to use the term "underachiever", but you could say thats Stallings career definition if you compare it to his peers. However, fielding teams that make the NCAA tourney every couple of years is quite good at Vandy. Its a good gesture by him I think.
