It's frustrating...going to be interesting to see how the rest of the weekend turns out and where we are sitting...these guys are making it harder on themselves than they need to...

Mizzou and UK play a TV game on Fox Sports south starting now or so...


68,000+ for the O&W game, hard to be in a bad mood today...

GBO!!!

This wastes last weekends win over Vandy. Kinda felt like fools gold last week anyways since they lost 1/3rd of their lineup for Sunday and the umps bailed us out Saturday night.

Have to have 2 against Bammer or we are in trouble with the schedule remaining. Need a sweep cause the last 4 series look tough.

You'd be correct if baseball didn't have that crazy luck variable. It's not like football at all. Losing a series doesn't mean we suck, and sweeping somebody doesn't mean were excellent. We are a good young ball club. That's all.

Exactly! I commented earlier to a post that someone said they didn't get this team.....my response was we are young, not that its an excuse but this is what young teams do.

Look at the growth from last years team to this years team, next year will be even better. JMO, which isn't really worth much.........

Exactly, you can only evaluate something when its done. Young teams are even crazier! We have some very special players. Friggin Andy Cox is a sophomore.

If we get better every year, were bound to win something in the future. We're only expected to win half of our games in our conference. We're 3 games below that because of SCAR.

That and razor thin defeats vs the auburn tigers, and the meltdown vs vandy.

More than 11 conference would be very good since I don't think they've had double digit conference wins since 2010.

Yes bitter freakin disappointment after a kickass game one win.

But at least we still got enough season left that vols can show some of their best baseball for conference games, and win series to make into the conference tournament in Hoover.

A good young ball team that is a roller coaster.
It's going to have its good moments up high, and it's bad moments which would be when you are closest to the ground.

Baseball is a sport that is freakin long.
It's not wise to evaluate a team from one weekend the same as the first three weeks are not a flawless predictor for how good or great a nfl team is.

I recall the bills looking like a Super Bowl team in 2003 to open the season with a shutout vs the Pats. 31-0, also a easy win over jags by three tds in the next game.
A mirage this was because the bills would lose 7 of their next 9 games, plus three consecutive losses to finish including a egregious 31-0 shutout in the final game vs the Pats.
The Pats finished with the leagues best record 14-2, won the Super Bowl vs the panthers proving that week 1 was any given Sunday and one of those crap games that usually all nfl teams in a 16 game regular season are going to have. Also a damn painful reminder for bills fans of fools gold before choking.

The bears looked great with comeback wins vs the Vikings, bengals, plus some other team.
But then they played the lions looked like garbage, and lions dline again showed their oline is still a weakass one that can get exposed by a damn good dline. Exposed multiple times again including the gigantic asskickng vs the eagles showing that the oline problem hasn't been eliminated, and cutler still can't it done late in the season.

You can make a good evaluation of how good or bad a sec team is when 60 or 70 percent of conference games have been played since it's a large sample size, and you'll see that team a winning two series in the first 2 conference weekends wasn't fools gold because they've won 5 or 6 conference series after the first 7 conference weeks.
