Worst part has to be Vandy was in the bottom 2 for most of the SEC Baseball season but have now climbed up to the 9th spot.
Amazed by how little seperation there is.

Yeah...Our only hope is for Auburn to lose all six and for us to somehow win 3 of our 6...the very definition of "hope"...

It's possible auburn could hold up their end, don't think we can hold up ours.

At least we have this very slim hope this late in the season.
2nd best scenario achieve more than what was predicted of finishing last.

Auburn has to go to Arky and then play UF...the got swept by BAMA...they could, very easily end up dead last...Our pitching is suspect...Just don't know if we have enough gas left in the tank.

Without Godly, and Blount this is a uphill battle.
Either unable to protect the lead, or give up to many runs, or leaving to many guys on the bases.

As usual on the outside looking in because we were unable to win the close division games that includes the nailbiter vs the Gamecocks in game 2, and the extra innings vs the MS Dawgs.

The Vols are going to have to play their best Baseball in the final two weeks of the regular season.

What's really hard to figure, is how a team that could give the upper tier teams a good game, like SC, UF...and then look like a completely different team against Auburn, MSU...

I go back to that point in the season when Thornton got in trouble...seems like something happened, something behind the scenes...I dunno.

I have spent some time on the auburn boards today, seems like the majority want a new coach. One of the guys brought up Holbrook which gave him some credibility with me...he thinks they'll get swept in the remaining SEC games.

After Vandy I thought we had no shot, now, it's about can we win 3 games. We're a terrible road team, if we could steal 1...slim chance, but it ain't over...GBO!

With 8 weeks of experience in SEC games, I hope they could win a series on the road.

12-14 SEC wins would be a accomplishment in season where they were predicted to not do a lot.

Well, I ain't gonna get my hopes up, but I want this team to play their hearts out for 2 more weeks...whatever happens, happens. I'll be there for the final series.

So don't stop fighting until the last game even with knowing after losing the 2nd to last series they would be eliminated.

I hate to bump this but many of us that said Candy was dead in the water need to admit how wrong we were. I have been criical of Corbin but this turn around has been remarkable.

Also 3 other in state teams play or have already played for championships this weekend.

Belmont beat Kennesaw State 10-4 to win the Asun on Saturday

APSU plays Eastern Illinois on Sun for the Ovc

Memphis plays UAB on Sunday for the Cusa championship.

Some good baseball played in this state!

I am planning on heading to Jackson tomorrow to watch my school play for the OVC title, Austin Peay, we won the first game against Eastern Illinois tonight. The starting pitcher in our first game today could not get out of the 1st inning, so we tried starting him again in the 2nd game... he went out and threw a complete game shutout.

My wife was at the tournament proudly wearing her UT baseball cap. Didn't miss a pitch & became a celebrity of sorts, being on t.v. I'm going back next year, too, confident of Tennessee's return to this great venue.

The title game comes down to MSU and Vandy, and MSU wins the conference crown. They were two teams we had to win a game or two against in the regular season, thought it was possible...now I realize just how far we have to go.
