Is it just me, do we look like boys among men

[KOdawg1]

Our fans sound like Yancy Porter with this crap.

Cool

[ScoobaDawg]

It's simple. And this board spoke out loudly when the topic was brought up.

NIL. You gotta play the game to get the transfers and the vast majority of this board said they won't do it.

So If you don't want to be part of the solution. Look at yourself in the mirror when you ask why TN has better transfers...

[Coach34]

I sure wish we had Vitello and I actually like Lemo. Just think he has a choice to make this off season. We will
Need a lot in the portal and honestly a couple more staff members… First tho he better throw the bank at Parker…

Parker got a 2 year deal I'm pretty sure

Yeah, this is dumb. Who cares what they look like? Tennessee?s team looking like trailer trash doesn?t have anything to do with their hitting and pitching. Our ?boys amongst men? lost by one run. GTFO with that crap.

Correct. Tennessee spends more than we do. Now Vitello is good salesman- no doubt. But they are putting their money where their mouth is- we arent.

Lemon is also very loyal to his guys/recruits. I think thats a problem he has to overcome or it will end up being his downfall

[maroonmania]

Not sure what we look like but we hit like boys among men. Way too much pressure on our pitching staff when it appears 4 to 5 runs is the max you can really ever expect from our offense.

We are a pitching and defense team. Been that way all year. We are who we are. Not sure why this is some new revelation now

Hardin and Davis didnt get the job done last night. It happens. Thats baseball

[archdog]

UT is better than they were a few years ago. I called them losing when the won the SEC tourney a few years ago and they didn?t make it out of their own regional. I feel like they can get to a super this year. They may want to get out of the SEC Tourney as fast as possible.

The SEC tourney only exists to try and help those teams on the bubble to get in. It serves zero other real purpose.

Wasn?t he acquiring talent preNIL though?

I don?t remember when NIL got in full swing, but that 2021 team was pretty talented and that was built preNIL.

Vitello can definitely evaluate and recruit. We?d love the 17er if he were here.

Hardin has not been sharp his last few outings it seems. We need him and David to channel their inner Sims

The key players on the 2020-2021 team were Cannizzaro recruits.

[Coach34]

Sure we are going to be in the regionals but my gosh we have imo looked awful getting there.

I swear some of you must not ever watch other teams play.

SC made 12 errors THIS WEEK. We only made 33 ALL SEASON. We are literally the best team in the SEC fielding-wise and tied for 3rd in the country.
We are 13th in the country in ERA- 4th in the SEC. 9th in the country in hits allowed

Nothing is "awful" about that.

Bednar wasnt. Neither was Debrule among others

Considering we will be one of SEC's top teams in draft picks- I'd say he is still acquiring talent

Lolz. UT?s NIL money isn?t coming from a small little grassroots fund. They have legit donors who don?t even blink at writing a big check.

Until our donors with actual wealth commit this is what we will have. We will NEVER compete nickel and diming our way along. $20 a month from Bob from Bogue Chitto isn?t going to do squat.

Yeah, I don?t know what all the whining is on this board among the average poster.

We are a good team, just not great. If all three aspects come together in the next week we will be hard to beat.

I was speaking of Vitello acquiring talent. He?s been doing it awhile and pre-NIL.

[The Federalist Engineer]

If you go man for man, Tennnessee is not bigger than MSU.

They do play with more swagger and attitude but they have a 5-8 150 lb guy. The defensive SS is 5-8 130 and Christian Moore is not that big. The Vols rage like juicers, now that you mention it.

Holcombe and Greg Haley were the biggest dudes yesterday, both bulldogs. Not on the field. But both could probably do business in a malee.

[CaptainObvious]

Tennessee is 38-60 overall against State. Prior to Vitello they were 30-60. Also prior to Lemonis, State was 60-30 vs Tennessee. Damn good thing State was in the opposite bracket in 21, huh.

That LH with the hair and handle bar mustache road to the game with his biker gang on a bunch of hogs with 200 lb gals on the back. He could have whipped our entire team by himself. Probably has a tattoo of Adolph Hitler on his biceps!

[Coach34]

What's also going to be fun to watch:

Tennessee will be the #1 overall seed for the Tourney
The #1 seed hasnt won the CWS since 1999
