Can someone talk me off the ledge for Super Regionals. Been nervous since Tuesday.

Best case: we win. Worst case: we lose, but you're still alive and well.

Remember, because CTV is building a dynasty here, we will be right back in the hunt for the natty next season and the one after that and the ones after that, etc. So, win or lose this year, there truly will be a great reason to say: "wait til next year!" And that's a real soothing thing to think about. So take the long view.

I recall when I believed it when Pat said it!

Suggestion - Relax! Enjoy it. It’s a great UT team with a lot of pride. They play with confidence, and will likely win. If they happen to lose, it won’t be for lack of effort or heart. History is in the books. This is a GREAT team!
Now, go win it all and engrave new legacy! GBO!

@mad4vols have you ever read, “Stranger in a Strange Land”? Robert Heinlein.

I always have my cup ready as a Vol fan and am usually a nervous wreck.

Just have a bad feeling about this matchup.

 

[Tenacjim]

We’ve survived Raleigh, Tyndall, Dooley, Pruitt, I’m sure I’ve left someone out. We’re alright.

Um, how could you leave the “Champion of Life” off this Mt. Rushmore of crap Vol coaches?

 

[VolPack22]

So. There are more levels of hell to survive?! …giggled. I’ll be right there hangin onto the arms of a very comfortable chair plugged into a large HD broadcast.

Very similarly to the ending of the book, this team is our hope and peace after the journey through Hell.

Think about al the times you said to yourself "If the basketball team doesn't make the FF this year, it never will!" Not gonna be the case with Tony's program.

Heh…

 

[VolPack22]

If it was a one game matchup I’d be worried. We are due for a bad game any time. But there isn’t a team in the country that has an advantage over us in a series. The odds are in our favor in that respect.

He Dobbs did generate two 9 win seasons.

Legitimately could have been a playoff contender if we had a competent head coach those two seasons. So sad to waste all that talent. Our athletics are finally turning the corner though. Exciting time to be a Vols fan!

 

[Bigun]

Really? You have a bad feeling about this matchup so what part are you doubting. The pitching? The hitting? The defense? The coaching? Elaborate for us.

I feel like they are an extremely solid team that can make contact at the plate and don't make mistakes in the field.

 

[OneVolNation]

Just relax. Everything is under control.

No, but I just looked it up. Sounds like a cool concept.

Think about it for a second, it's just a game and life we go on win or lose.

We played "bad" the last time out against GT imo, giving up 4 unearned runs due to fielding errors. We hit into 3 double-plays to end offensive outputs and managed to put it all together the last 2 innings to win. This team will not take ND lightly and play better. I think they are on a mission.

[peyton=legend]

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[Go47]

This team is very good. However, there are a lot “unpredictable” elements in baseball.

It will be an amazing death if they somehow win it all.

 

[WillisWG]

 

[MAD]

I’m nervous too. I think that’s just the nature of being a Vol fan but I’ll be ok if we lose. What will upset me the most about a loss is the end of the fun that watching this incredible team has been. That and it would tickle me to death to see the other fans (particularly Hog fans) have a catastrophic meltdown if we win it all. GBO!

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy
A bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say
Put the past away
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
And well, he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I
I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
