You need to worry about the mess in Gainesville and not Knoxville.
That’s rich coming from a Arky hick.
Even worse than Beth is her sidekick Kirk Morrison…he is just as terrible.
The $300m Vandy will spend will still not get them anywhere near the facilities in Knoxville or Athens or anywhere else. And at the end of the day, it’s still Vandy.
He doesn’t need age for that, he is already better than Milton. Hell, anyone is better than Overthrow Joe.
There is a new Will in Starkville and his last name isn’t Clark. Will Bednar was lights out and seemed to have a great time doing it. Congrats to MSU on the win.
Not yet…but we were a lot closer to making it happen than you this year.
That’s rich coming from a Gator fan. You don’t make it to #3 in the country and the CWS without a little swagger and confidence. Call it what you want, but we beat your arse and you sound bitter.
Do you want to build your own program and be the legend that turned it around or do you want to take on a program built by Bertman and Mainieri? LSU has what Tennessee needs and wants in facilities and Tennessee may have what LSU wants in Tony V. Who wants it more? Should be an interesting few days while it gets sorted out.
The umpiring has been borderline atrocious all series with calls going for and against each team. Ben McDonald did a great job in the booth yesterday (as usual) pointing out that the umpires were making a spectacle of themselves and affecting the flow of the game. Poor strike zone consistency, sporadic enforcement of rules (pitch clock, chirping from the dugout, etc) and what appears in some cases as disregard for evidence on replay has made a mockery of some parts of the games. Again…this isn’t a Tennessee thing, but a crappy umpiring performance throughout.
I agree with you on the fact that 3rd rank isn’t necessarily off the mark. The comment about adversity is crap though. Tennessee has found ways to battle back all year. Six or seven games ended in walkoffs. To get in those situations, you have to have faced some adversity. Tennessee has the talent to win the the CWS…Just not the pedigree yet. The good thing is, this team doesn’t care about pedigree. They play hard and they have fun. They find ways to win. I think we have two of the best coaches in the country with Tony Vitello and Frank Anderson and if I am a high school player, I’d watch them coach in these games and I would beg to play for them in college.
Matt Campbell is a high quality coach who is building a legacy at Iowa State. Central Iowa has a very affordable and great quality of life, unlike the Motor City. He is beloved up here. I wish Tennessee would have/could have landed him.
Dooley and Butch left us in better shape than this fiasco has left us. Phillip Fulmer is not blameless in this and his “legend” status should be revoked. What a complete disaster.
Couldn’t agree more. I hate losing, but I’m not sure I want to get behind Hugh Freeze either.
He was getting 650k yearly and they owe him every penny of it on a monthly basis. His MOU calls for him to make attempts to mitigate that getting a new job. Maybe he can be an intern like Butch and soak us for the next two years.
I remember hearing that Tracy Rocker didn’t pull his weight on the recruiting of things. Not sure if the validity of that, though I’m sure that someone could detail what Vol signees he was primary recruiter for. Personally, I’ve never been a huge believer in Jim Chaney. I don’t think that we have had a great QB since Manning. There have been above avg guys & likeable guys (See Josh Dobbs) but no studs. I think we should be focusing on that side of the team over the defense.
Wsummitt...you really got me...one play from 8 years ago. I’m proud of ya! Yeeeessssiiiirrr...
Great win for Arkansas. Celebrating is understood a jabbing makes it that much more fun. Oh yeah...the Vols have an 8 game win streak going. Tied with two others for longest in the country. Even at our worst, we were still better than you WPS!
You, sir, are an A-hole. Georgia my have climbed the rankings in recruiting polls, but what have you done with it...SEC Champs (1 for Kirby), Natty (not since 1980). Arrogance is the common theme from your fan base with nothing of any real significance in the recent past...potential without exceptional results. We have a ways to go on Rocky Top. No one denies that. But things are trending in the right direction. I just hope that we are able to capitalize when it all comes together.
Smart move. You have just saved yourself from involvement in numerous “minor infractions” that may scar your resume.
