…against three teams that will almost certainly be in the postseason, at least two of which are legit threats to make it to Omaha. This team is not just good, they might be historically good. And not just by UT standards.

Next two weekends are in Knoxville vs. Mizzou and bammer. We might not lose again for a while.

Let's hope they can maintain this pace. There will be a dropoff in hitting, but this team's pitching is good too.

We’ve already seen the offensive dropoff. Vandy pitched us better than anyone this year, and we still averaged 5+ runs/game. That’s probably the best pitching staff we’ll see in the regular season. But the knock on this offense was that they were over-reliant on homers. They’ve proven over the past 5 SEC games that they can beat you playing smallball, too.

It's been extremely nice to that added dimension when the ball isn't flying out of the park.
