Fitt absolutely hated our super team with Gilbert and Beck. He rarely gets out of the Carolinas and Rogers rarely out of Texas as far as coverage. We seemed liked the new kids on the Block ruffling feathers and not a traditional blue blood. He may be a good dude, just saying how he was in 22Aaron is really good guy but mostly focused on ACC baseball. I have talked UT baseball with him several times and I don’t think he is Vol hater at all.
A lot of folks despised the 2022 team. The baseball traditionalists really hated on them. They were the villains and embraced that role. They were brash, edgy, extremely confident (some would say arrogant), and celebrated like no other team in NCAA baseball. No doubt they helped grow the game!Fitt absolutely hated our super team with Gilbert and Beck. He rarely gets out of the Carolinas and Rogers rarely out of Texas as far as coverage.

No doubt, that team crossed several lines that for me were too far, (like the Beck bird and Gilbert's telling ump he sucked) especially if I was a coach. I will say that attitude gave them an edge and never were intimidated. Went against those Arkansas and Vandy boys and thankfully changed that story.A lot of folks despised the 2022 team.

Personally, I loved that team as they were so exciting to watch and you never knew what they were going to do next. However, can you imagine if they were one of our competitors? We would have hated them!![]()
Anyone watch Southeastern 16? They cover the major men’s sports in the SEC. They make their own rankings once a week or so. It’s a pretty good podcast, but Chris sometimes irritates me because he seems to struggle giving TN their flowers. He was one of the last people to drop A&M holding on for dear life lol.
