17-1 last 18 games…

Posted by Hot_in_the_box on 3/17/24 at 1:29 am
While I would love to win every game, I’m also reasonable and know that no one is going undefeated in college baseball. Through the first 20 games, I couldn’t be happier for the Vols with the way the season has started through the first 20 games.

Vols made to many mistakes to win tonight. Can’t leave bases loaded with less than 2 outs and not score. Vols left 4 runners on in scoring position the first 2 innings. Then they made 3 errors in the first 3 innings and Bama capitalized on them. Not saying the Vols beat themselves tonight, but they didn’t do themselves any favors. By time the Vols and Beam settled in, the damage had been done, and Vols couldn’t get it going.


I haven’t been to many SEC baseball stadiums, but is it normal for a SEC college baseball stadium to only have 2 concession for the entire stadium? Out of the stadiums I have been to, Bama stadium had the worst food services and beer service I have ever experienced. They had a kiosk set up above A section that sold ice cream, and another one that sold beer. But they was out of pop corn before the game even started, and the nachos was nasty as frick. I know Lindsey Nelson isn’t perfect, but our food services is alot better than what I experienced tonight.

Also, I didn’t know Bama had an Airplane hanger on campus behind the baseball stadium. Learn something new everyday. Are they the only campus with an airplane hanger on campus?

Look forward to game 3 and starting a new winning streak tomorrow.

like all the way back to 2019?

Nope! I actually went to my first UT baseball game in 2010. I remember it like it was yesterday because it was also the first time I took my son to a game for his first time and he was 3 years old then. But I remember the last couple years of Delmonico.

I started getting into Tennessee baseball around 2003. Since then I have been hooked on college baseball.

We are talking about the last 4 years. A lot has happened in the last 4 years that has changed the landscape of college athletics. Some coaches are able to keep up, and some coaches struggle and don’t like the changes. Last 6 post season games for UK, they are 2-4. And that’s including SEC, and NCAA tournament combined.

Not after Bama takes the series you won’t… Lol


I promise you I will be at the series with LSU. I’m not a bandwagon UT fan. I can remember when UT had an all natural field and Todd Raleigh was the HC. In fact, I remember attending a game against UGA on a Saturday night where you used to be able to walk up to the ticket window before the game and pick your seat half hour before game starts. No matter how bad we do under Vitello, it won’t match the years of Todd Raliegh or Dave Serranno years.

P.S- Sewell Thomas Stadium concessions and bathrooms are terrible. I only seen 2 consessions and 1 bathroom for the entire stadium tonight. I assume they have another bathroom on the 1st base side, but there’s only 1 on 3rd base side. Then the entire stadium was out of popcorn before the first pitch.

But I did think it was neat they let the poor folks and college kids bring in their own chairs and coolers in and sit on the grass berm in right field. Even poor folks should get the excitement of at least once being able to attend a game and bring their own snacks and drinks.

I don’t know who the frick you are, or who you think I am, but you are no one special to think you know who I am. Section A, Row 1, seats 3,4, and 5 were my seats. Sorry your broke arse don’t know what it’s like to attend a live event. I’ll also be at the LSU and Tennessee series for ALL 3 games in Knoxville if you want to come say hello.

Surely Alabama won in Nashville right? But on a side note, I never seen a crowd celebrate like y’all did tonight tying up the series. Y’all student section acted like they won the World Series tonight. It’s sad actually to watch yall celebrate a March baseball win like yall did tonight!

We can tell the Vols are truly your Super Bowl. I seen that first hand tonight.

Regular Season Cal…

Posted by Hot_in_the_box on 3/15/24 at 11:50 pm
UK is a storied program no doubt. But the last 4 years, multiple teams have passed them and UK now has Regular Season Cal.

1 SEC Tournament win last 4 years.
Top 5 class every year last 4 years
Most talent than anyone else last 4 years

And yet Regular Season Cal pisses down his leg now when it’s tournament time.
quote:

In the last 5 years Kentucky and Cal have an Elite Eight and Barnes and Tennessee has a Sweet 16.


Don’t leave out the losing record, and missing the NCAA tournament. Or 1 SEC Tournament win last 4 years. Rick is ahead Cal.

And so is half the other teams in the SEC.
quote:

When Texas fires David Pierce, I want Vitello.


He will not leave Tennessee for Texas. He is directly involved and leading the renovations that are currently going on a LNS. Tennessee has approved $95 million just for upgrades to the Baseball stadium at Vitello request. Also Tennessee will match whatever money Texas throws at him. Tennessee already made him the 3rd highest paid coach in the SEC. He will be the highest paid when it’s time to renew his contract.

quote:

He'll have to shave the fricking beard though. We don't play that shite.

Another reason why he won’t come to Texas. He can be himself in Knoxville and not worry about acting a certain way to make sure he don’t piss anyone off. Also players love playing for him because he lets them be themselves and don’t try and change who they are when they come to college.

quote:

If the dude can bring that kind of talent to Tennessee, he would kill it in Austin.

With Texas coming to the SEC, he has no reason to leave Tennessee. He can do just as much at Tennessee as he can at Texas. Texas may have the history, but Tennessee is the better program in its current state.

4-0, 1.65 ERA, 38 K’s, 3 walks


Tennessee had come questions about its rotation coming into the season. Vitello and Frank Anderson goes to Jacksonville Alabama and takes JSU best player and turns him into the top pitcher in the SEC so far.

Bama good luck tomorrow against Beam..
