I don't know him from Adam ( ), but to be fair, he is not at all taking the side of the fans. If anything, he is exposing them as the idiots they are. He NEVER misses an opportunity show NEGATIVITY about YT sports, NEVER! Also, he askes some of the most inane questions at press conferences of any supposed "journalist" ever Hell, Jimmy is better than the square of Sparks and Adams put together and he freaking SUCKS!

Congrats......but. If they don't learn to hit good pitching they won't be around long. Their team batting average against SEC teams this season wasn't very good.
Having attempted to hit "radio balls" it is not as easy as you might think Due to the shorter distance you have much shorter reaction time to read the pitch and swing Back when I played there were essentially just two pitches, now typically there are 3-4

Did we throw this one on purpose? I was listeing on the radio while driving all over Knoxville yesterday (went to see Mom with my brother at her rehabe facility, then went to Dad's assisted living home and took him to see her, then took him back to his place, then back to their (sadly empty except when I or a sibling visit) house, packed up, drove back to Huntsville, all while listening to the 3 0 debacle on the radio.
I think the Vols only had 3 hits, all by the same guy. Vandy scored early also.
Im like...WTF...I know the Vols can hit better than that.
Anyone have any theories on the loss? I know I often hear "sometimes it just goes that way in baseball" so maybe it was just one of those days.
But could it be that Coach V wasn't trying that hard, kind of like how the bball team got embarassed in the SECT?
Side note...the baseball radio broadcast has only a broadcaster, no color guy, no sideline reporter, but does a very good job of descringin the play by play. No chatter about strategy or "what will the coach do", etc. In fact, I will say that might even be desireable for football and basketball. Maybe they should give it a try (Not with Kesling though!)
No, sometimes good pitching overpowers bats It happens However, if I were Tony, I would have had the umpires check his glove as the bois have been proven to CHEAT

. Kay's Ice Cream with the big ice cream cone outside was a S Knoxville icon, and had been since the 50s I think, when I moved to Knoxville in 1982. Kay's closed (sadly) during the pandemic, but the ice cream cone is still there, and there is a Thai restaurant where Kay's used to be, but it does serve ice cream of some sort. So who won between the Louis brothers, or did they both go out of bidness? I worked at Kays on Magnolia as a freezer boy out of High School, till I joined the AF

8 in a row over those clowns. Vandy boiz haven?t beaten us in 3 years. The General was hired with the directive to ?even the score with Vanderbilt?. 100 years later, Tony has picked up that torch. AMEN!

We need to avoid the No.1 ranking curse. Bet we aren't the #1 seed no matter how we play the last two series Our RPI is #8 currently So being #1 now doiesn't mean squat or even the square root of squat

waka waka will be missed. damn free agency
Blame Aidoo Reports were that he was staying, which caused Awaka to enter, then Aidoo shocked Barnes by entering the portal In any case, while I will miss Awaka, who I loved his play (and the "look in his eye" at KY this year) I think we improved with the exchange

When I first moved to East Tennessee in 1982, there were billboards everywhere in S Knox County that said "Water is for washing, Dickel is for drinking" and it showed a country gent sitting in an old school washtub drinking Dickel from the bottle. That sure did seem appropriate for S Knox County somehow! Well, S Knox County has always been a bit "different"
