We've traditionally had troubles with Auburn. Especially more than Auburn's talent should suggest.

Some of the Vol's best teams have lost series to some of Auburn's most mediocre.

So we've dominated all 3 tigers teams in the sec for basketball , recently beat Missouri tigers for baseball lets add the auburn tigers to the list for baseball.

Go vols a opportunity to make it two weekends in a row for winning a series in division games.

If all goes right the vols are alone in first, and add to a great season with another division series won.
Vols have lost the first game last two weekends and then won the next two games. Be great to win the first game.

And vandy has had problems beating vols teams they should have beat so I guess it's the same problem.
Division games are not cakewalks even when one team is bad or egregious as it's the team you constantly play, and are most familiar with.

I clearly have anger issues as I want to punch a hole in the wall every time I see you write "division games" when you mean "conference games". It has gotten to me and I have to say something about it. Division record means less than nothing in college baseball. I'm sorry for getting worked up and I realize it shouldn't bother me so much, but it does. It would mean the world to me if you could correct this issue. Thanks and Go Vols!

Serious question how is it not division games?

It's a bit confusing I guess because when someone looks up the standings they are divided into divisions. Sometimes you'll hear somebody say the western teams look better than the eastern teams.

12 teams make the SEC Tourney. No team is awarded anything for coming in first in either division...the 12 best records regardless of division make Hoover.

So, we don't play divisional games like in football for instance, it's just conference games. So Auburn, for instance, is just as important as South Carolina.

Haha. Its fine. I really did it to myself. I would internally say something about it every time I saw it, and just built up this unreasonable frustration with it.
