The Trophy Toss: Menees’ Legendary SEC Moment

Anyone else remember the epic story of Gene Menees and the infamous trophy dump? Back in ‘74, Menees and fellow Vandy captain Rick Duncan literally tossed the runner-up trophy into the Tennessee River after the Commodores beat Bama for their second straight SEC title. Coach Schmittou’s move turned a snub into legend, and that moment still echoes through Tennessee sports. Menees went on to shape TSSAA for 34 years, but that river rivalry with Bama? Unforgettable. #Sports #Baseball #VandyBoys
