Well, I’ll share my story anyway.
When my oldest daughter was little, myself and another dad volunteered to coach tee ball.
We had a brother and sister, with the brother being much younger but the only way he would play was if he were on his sisters team. This kid could not hit off the tee at all! His sister then tells me that I have to pitch to him. I lobbed some into the little guy and he just stands there. Sister tells me to throw it harder and faster, I do and this little guy starts hammering the ball! He’s in the field snagging balls like Ozzie Smith! I spend the rest of the practice and the next, critiquing his batting stance, how to throw, field...
Finally after the 2nd practice, I was talking to another dad about how good this little guy is. The dad says to me, you know who’s boy that is, right?
That’s his boy and points to the stands, where I see the guy that just pitched for the Yankees and was the first guy to start 10-0 in like forever!!!
Needless to say, I quit trying to “coach” his boy and just started encouraging him!
I could only imagine him telling his son, on the way home from practice, “now he’s a good guy and I want you to act like you’re paying attention to your coach, BUT DO NOT LISTEN TO A THING HE TELLS YOU!!😂
I got to know the guy and he is one of the best men I’ve ever met! Super good guy and great family!

If I google yankee pitcher 10-0 record it comes up Aaron Small.

Imo ... That network is a waste of time. They'll talk more about what the Yankees & Tampa Bay is up to more than any TN Vols player. They probably don't know one Vols player on the team.
Rather watch & wait for that to happen .... I'd set my DVR & check in later that night to see if anything has developed.

I’m sure it will be on the alternate channel. Does anyone ever get programming on the alternate channel? I sure don’t!
GBO!!

The guy did call me today and ask why I sent him an extra miller lite and smithwicks keg!😂
I told him I must’ve accidentally keyed them in. I didn’t tell him I about 💩 myself, trying to get out of his place as fast as I could!

My tv tells me I have 2 but I can never watch anything on one of them. It’s always “blacked out!”
😒

I know the SEC Network alternate channel stays in "black out mode". It's the dumbest thing ever done. That's the only two channels on my TV other than C-Span I have an "alternate channel" for.

Sometimes I don’t feel very smart! I pay for 600 channels and we watch 10...maybe!

Hate that the season ended the way it did for the players that will not return. Leaves a burning coal for those that will return.

I know that I will never know what the players are feeling but for me, this one’s gonna hurt for a while!
These boys are some of my favorite Vols ever, regardless of sport!
GBO!!
