Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

So you enjoyed giving up 11 runs in the first game?

It was clear that TV wanted to dance with who brung him. Hindsight is 20/20. We won. I have not agreed with all of his decisions either but he keeps proving he knows best. Zander or Beam out of their normal rhythm might have gotten shelled also.

Jeez, yall should see all the lightning bugs right now. They must be cheering the Vols

They showed up here en masse after the game, too.

I had a gig tonight and tried watching on my phone while I was trying to sing lol. Didn’t work great but I got through it. I stopped in the middle of the song when Burke hit that ball. I love this team. What a game. Volnation is the best

 

[drvenner]

Been at work all night so only been able to follow. Can’t wait to read the ebb and flow of this thread.

Lots of downhill flow until the 9th inning, LOL.

 

[SmokinBob]

Thats game, lets pray we play better sunday

 

[DD4ME]

I second the motion

Yeah we’ve definitely been on the wrong side of “bad” calls more than not. The laughable foul call from the sweet 16 game against Purdue as well. There was a joke of a call against Michigan in the sweet 16 as well in Cunzos final year. Too many to name really.

Feels like '51...?

 

[pismonque]

Had 4 quick shots of Tequila 1800 Blanco to celebrate victory.

Hell, have a couple more for the Dodgers win too.

 

[SmokinBob]

Yeah it ain’t over but it’s the point of starting out 4-1 and then blinking and it being 9-4 is so comically bad, it’s hard to believe any team can bounce back from it. Regardless of how many innings are left

 

[drvenner]

Dude looked pretty happy at the end of the 8th. When I saw it, I hoped he would get his comeuppance.


He did.

Crap. Terrible decision. We will be down 3-0 before we blink, and that’s all Arnold will need. I have a friend at church who is a big FSU fan and follows baseball closely. Said Arnold is best pitcher left in WS and has been pitching great the last 2 months, keeping ball down in the zone (unlike Beam who could be that good if he kept the ball down). We will do well to score 3-4 runs against him. Can’t give up a bunch of early runs.

He did mention about getting touched up some last start against UConn.

Yes we can. We can give up a buncha runs and still win!
It’s okay.
It’s just baseball, right @Ulysees E. McGill ?

With that being said, haven’t been that stressed about a sporting event in a while. Feels great to be a Tennessee Volunteer!

How about from here on out, we quit toying with our prey and just destroy them quickly.

How many home runs for the season now?

 

[drvenner]

College athletics has got the pro sports blown out of the water. I said what I said

And, it's not even close.

 

[85SugarVol]

BaseVols in Epic fashion.
Yanks drub the Sox.

Lol we gonna get any commitments this weekend? I don’t want this to end

 

[BigOrange15]

I second the motion

Or any game, ever. Everyone was more than happy to dance and spit on our grave and kick us while we were down.

No one in this fanbase ever has anything to say to any other fanbase ever again.

**** em. Vols against everybody.

 

[SoullessGinger32_]

If we beat North Carolina I don't think we see FSU again.

Losing that way with your best player going over 100 pitches... Rough.

Yes! And you can tell we just drained them as the game went on as our energy just came to an all time high. Especially the last 3 innings

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Noah needs to go run some laps.

 

[VolInDayton]

Absolutely amazing comeback. Down 4 with 4 outs. This team has the mental makeup. Florida St has a great offense but we have the BEST offense.

Beam is going to put in 6 solid innings next game

 

[BigOrange15]

Noah needs to go run some laps.

Sanest FSU fan.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

I’m sure there’s a good number of “what if’s” in this game but what a base running blunder by the Semen Holes early in the game when the runner rounding 3rd missed the bag instead of scored.

 

[drvenner]

Glad I was wrong

Good of you to own it, Sir.

 

[pismonque]

So here's what made the difference.

A friend of mine who lives in Oregon was in a small town thrift store there a few years ago and saw an orange bottle opener with a Power T that plays Rocky Top when you use it, so he bought it and mailed it to me. I only use it on occasion because most of the times I have a beer are at night when I don't want to wake people up with Rocky Top.

So in the bottom of the 9th I was trying to stave off an infarction and grabbed a beer. When I went for a bottle opener I saw that Vols one toward the back of the drawer and I knew. I could freakin feel it and knew I had to use it. And Rocky Top sounded like it meant business. And then boom.

So... you're welcome.

C-Mo made MLB Tonight.



Lol check the bottom line. Flawless

Edit: yooooo @peaygolf i can’t stop chuckling over the timing of MLB Network airing this graphic

Let's not forget Causey also getting us off with bases loaded. That was a small difference maker for the game as well. That could've been ugly for us and might not of made a comeback if not for that.
