Lady Vols Softball

It will be three days off cause I'm sure she is pitching two games as usual. She got around 300 pitches in this series that is a lot for anyone.

I feel like with Ayala and West we would've put more runs on the board in the first and this game. Regardless won two of three on the road hoping to see the girls were missing back for Georgia.

Thought I heard on the broadcast that one of the players that are out has mononucleosis.

How shocking that an announcer who comes onto message boards and carries water for the UTAD under two different screennames (the other one of which you've used in this very thread) has never seen it.

Literally every single parent I've talked to over the years both in person and online has admitted that Karen is a hard ass and the players have trouble relating to her -- even the ones that were four year starters and loved their time at UT. That doesn't mean they hate her but they sure as hell don't want to make a mistake in practice in her presence.

Also, while I'm on the subject, they didn't like Koenig's "lifestyle" and they didn't like Jennifer Griffin's, either, which played into her leaving. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks on that. And yes, I am making the exact accusation that you think I'm making.

Interesting. Does that mean you weren't willing to sign your name to all the stuff you post under your alias? Why not just use this account for everything? Oh, that's right ... because it's easier to push propaganda when you're doing it anonymously. It's not like everyone here from TS doesn't know your other name is you -- you never really hid who you were there. I'm sure you'll have fun gaslighting and denying this like you always do, but I just find it funny that you're getting all sanctimonious with your "I'm willing to sign my name to that" comment. Also, why would anyone actually believe an employee of the University of Tennessee is going to come on to a message board and admit anything, whether they know about it or not?

I've only ever used my own name here, and I started coming here to post under my own name after I heard that people on this board and VQ were accusing someone else of being me.

I don't post often because people like you like to make half-hearted accusations framed in the unprovable way of "I talked to..." Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. Neither of us can prove anything. But I have the ability to post what I witness with my own eyes. You can post what you claim to hear third-hand. That's your right. But it doesn't serve a program you claim to care about by trashing it publicly with what I can only classify as baseless rumors and half-truths. So my only conclusion is that you don't actually care about the program, because you go out of your way to trash it with nonsense.

I'm not an employee of the University of Tennessee and haven't been since my writer position was eliminated prior to the 2016 football season. I am paid to broadcast softball games by Cumulus Broadcasting, parent company of the radio station I work for full time. UT has to agree with my selection as the broadcaster, but they do not pay me. And they certainly don't pay me to post on message boards. They couldn't care less what anonymous strangers post on the internet. But I do. I probably shouldn't, but I do.

You want to criticize a coaching staff for being hard on players after you spent time trashing Holly Warlick for being too soft. So which is it? What's the right way in your mind? Seems to me that the "right way" is however they aren't doing it so you have something to wallow in misery about. Whatever gets you out of bed in the morning, I suppose. I'm not going to go back and forth on the rest of the nonsense, but if you want to make the accusations that you did, then it's probably best you don't sign your name because people have had legal action taken against them for less.

Series left Georgia and Missouri at home. Auburn and hopefully we play Miss St games on the road.

Seriously doubt we will make up the Mississippi State series especially if there is an SEC tournament. Has anyone heard if the SEC tourney will happen. If so, there just wouldn't be time to make up the Miss. St. series unless it was played mid-week and I doubt that either team would go for that.

I for one enjoy your take, I don't agree with some of it but I respect the opinion and knowledge you bring. Having a kid that plays coast to coast I've had many interactions and have a different perspective of the school than many fans. We love Tennessee, but recruiting does make you view it differently as it does with all schools when you can get in the sauce and see what's in it. I believe you're fair and acknowledge your position so thank you.

Went to the SEC site to get more clarification on the SEC tourney. The SEC tourney will be held at Alabama on May 12-15. There will be an opportunity to make up postponed games on May 3-5 as a midweek doubleheader. So if UT and Miss. State are going to act, they had better do it then.

Why is it that we always have an element in our fan base tearing down our coaches?...whether it’s football, basketball, softball, you name it. It really is old and tired.

Vitello is still in the honeymoon period. But all it will take is an early exit from this year’s tournament and you will start to hear some grumbling even about him. Some folks can never be happy.

Phew; this was an absolutely critical series to win. Hopefully Oklahoma wears Georgia down tomorrow prior to this weekend, and fingers crossed that the Lady Vols get a chance to reschedule the Mississippi State series.

Not something that I expected, to say the least; really thought that the Sooners could go undefeated this year.

The SEC is responsible for rescheduling games cancelled by Covid pauses, not the schools involved. The SEC will announce rescheduled games next week, following the conclusion of games this weekend. They are waiting to see if any other series are affected, much they way they did with football and basketball games that were moved around to try and play as many conference games as possible. I expect to call games against someone one day that week, but nothing will be set in stone until after this weekend.

I see the thought but not sure that will happen anytime soon unless he bottoms out. Vitello is a clean version of Bruce Pearl, he’s awaken a sleeping giant in baseball and is creating a new group of fans and excitement around Knoxville that has not been here since the mid-90’s. But one thing we agree in, some folks can never be happy.
