Rather be picked last and surprise everyone, vs. start the season with a target on our backs.

I agree. It's much easier to surprise people and actually do better than expected.

Basketball team was expected to finish 11th/12th I believe..

 

[YankeeVol]

I don't think UT will finish last. I'm excited about the Serrano era

 

[sdowell]

i bet we don't finish last either. ga and ky will be worse than u t. i say we at least make the sec tournament. 10 teams going this year, right ?

 

[Special Ed]

That's OK. We want our SEC opponents to believe we're worst in the league. Can't surprise 'em otherwise.

Just kidding. I am pretty hopeful for the season. I like Serrano and I like the complexion of the team. Maybe finish 7/8 and lots of improvement over last year.

Baseball will be a tougher rebuilding job than Basketball, more competition within the conference, volatile recruiting environment, Raleigh's giant dump on the program, etc...

With that said, Serrano will get the job done.

Kentucky is the only team to realistically have a chance to finish ahead of. IMO those 2 will finish 11th and 12th.

Agree. A couple impact players can turn a basketball team around immediately, but baseball is different.

Serrano has to recruit and develop almost an entire pitching staff. His likely Friday starter had only three non-conference starts last year and an ERA over 6. And presumably that's the best arm Serrano has to work with! Compare that to SC with All American starters on Friday and Saturday or Vandy, which has the luxury of bringing a first round draft pick along slowly.

This is going to take a few years. We'll see improvement in a lot of areas right away, but conference wins could remain scarce.

The sec is positively loaded this year. Granted, it always will be. Hopefully we rejoin those ranks.

I completely agree.

They are flying under the radar. A team motivated to prove people wrong, and maybe teams overlooking them.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

agree with everyone's sentiments on this...let's go BaseVols and surprise some people this year!

He may not have been born a Vol but he loves being one and might coach for nothing.
