Has Libel written all over it. Damaging to the university, to the program, to recruiting, etc. This entire season folks have latched onto everything hoping it tarnishes the program and success of the season. We saw it with the Nashville sports guy reporting TN’s bat failed compression tests, (it didn’t) and yet folks still use that against us to this day.

There are many responsible people in the sports media, so I don't want to generalize here, but the ones like David Martz are the kinda trash that the rest of the media need to purge from their ranks. He should be shamed into a career change pronto.

I'm trying to decipher your comment. Are you ensenuating I'm on medication that wore off, I need to take a few deep breaths before posting and smoke one? If I did understand that correctly, I am medicated for mood stabilization as I am extremely hot headed but I can't engage in your suggestion to smoke one to calm down. 9/29/2008 was the last time I touched anything and the day I decided to change my life. It was chnage my life, go to prison, or get killed in the streets. I chose to change my life and get sober. If I misinterpreted your post I am sorry. I'm a lover not a fighter these days unless you say or do anything to my family.

I think his reference was to the meathead that posted the tweet. 😉
… I got a little paranoid myself Thursday morning…

Let me tell you about anxiety and panic attacks...
I’ve always been laid back, easy going and let things slide right off my back. Well, about a year ago I started having trouble sleeping. I would lay awake with a million thoughts running through my head and my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest.
I would get terrible headaches.
One day, at work, as everything was fine and it was a normal day, I truly thought I was having a heart attack. It was extremely scary. My heart was pounding, chest was tight and I was sweating like crazy, all out of nowhere!
Long story short, after several hours at the hospital and numerous tests, apparently after 42 years, I now suffer from anxiety and panic attacks!
It is real and it can be very scary and hard to understand.
I hope Evan knows that Vol nation understands and is behind him 110%!
VFL
GBO!!

So he had anxiety. That just makes me all the more pissed because imagine trying to deal with that while dipshits from Arkansas are spreading disinformation about you on social media and ESPN. I can’t imagine him having bad enough anxiety to miss a game and then opening Twitter to see that BS. I feel awful for him

It was crazy! All I could think about was wanting to see my wife and kids one more time, which I’m sure made it worse.
And like I said, it just came out of nowhere, like a run away train!
I pray that Evan gets help and takes the time he needs, to get this right.
Whether we see him again in orange and white is irrelevant, he is a VFL and a fan favorite and always be!!
GBO!!

ESPN is run by a bunch of bitter clowns desperate for a story.

Here's how stuid they are: They have the broadcast rights to a lot of college baseball games, yet make it really difficult for fans across the country to follow a particular team if they don't live in or near that region. That's lost advertising money, yet spending the money for the broadcast that few people will see.

PEDs are not part of how Vitello runs his program. He wants his players loose and having fun and NOT playing under pressure. He just wants them to play the best baseball they can as individuals and as a team. PEDs aren't part of that.

Vitello might be the only coach in NCAA baseball who approaches being worth his salary.

What if Evan asked him not to discuss his illness? So when he was asked pregame, Tony wasn’t sure if Evan wanted him to even say he was sick so he deferred to after the game while someone checked with Evan. Everything doesn’t have ti be a conspiracy theory. It’s equally plausible he just wasn’t sure how to answer the question at that time.

Tony had an NCAA tournament game to prepare for, after learning about Evan for the first time that very morning. I'm convinced - putting myself into his shoes - that he was just too busy preparing for the game to stop and talk to the media about Evan, so he told them he'd address it afterward. Which is a logical thing to do. It isn't his fault that there is a sewer out there called Twitter and there are idiots in the sports media.

There’s no way to go back and make sure that everyone that heard lil troy say that hears the retraction. ESPN’s lawyers will write a statement for Troy Eklund to read. It will mean absolutely zero, but will fill the requirements of the agreement with Tennessee, if/when there’s an agreement in place. Troy don’t give a f***. ESPN don’t give a f***.

1- cool
2- awesome job on being sober, no jokes.
3- I didnt mean to make light of mental plights or issues. Just no need to make comments about body bags, etc even in jest.
