Just now getting on tonight. Those jersey combos are absolutely beautiful . The throwback hat… it’s all just perfect.

I don't think we'll wear them tomorrow, so there wont be a chance of losing in them, . Crazy how many people come out of the woodwork if we've worn alts before and lost in them. I want that hat and a white one too!

Baseball is a weird game. Seems like every other at bat we hit a shot that just dies at the track this series. 5-10 more feet on just a few of those and we win both games by 5 runs or more. What Tennessee has done isn’t normal for baseball, and you absolutely shouldn’t come to expect it. 40+ win seasons with at least a super regional appearance will be the expectation here, sure. But this? Just asinine. We’ve been spoiled, but this is what baseball is really like. All that matters is who’s hot in June. We’ll be fine. And still by far and away the favorite for the CWS.

Also, update on my uncle: he’s being handed over to hospice. Chemo didn’t work, only made it worse. He’s been given a life expectancy of ~3 months.
My family’s HS alma mater will be doing a 20 minute piece on him pregame for their series today on the school’s radio station. If anyone is interested, I can link it when the time comes. I think they air via the web.

We havent lost a series until now...havent lost a series...think on that. What an accomplishment. This team needs to face adversity. Get better and win something meaningful.

I've been thinking about you and your family the last few days. I'll continue to pray for comfort for all of you.

Let them try to do whatever they want against the collectives, because our collective named Spyre sports has nothing in their name that connects them to Tennessee and I guarantee there’s nothing in those contracts that connects them. However, when the negotiations occur it is understood who that recruit is supposed to go and play for. The NCAA will have zero proof to do anything to us. That is why back when we were hand wringing about all of this and seeming like we were way behind, we were making sure every single I was dotted and every single T was crossed before putting this out.

Great post. I wonder what Saban/Sankey (same person) think of the new High Tides collective that Bama grads, fans and boosters recently formed in response to Spyre Sports and other collectives? Saban/Sankey had no issue and weren't in an uproar when they were bragging about Bryce Young's million dollar contract being the first and biggest of its kind. Then TAMU lands the best class of all time, Jackson State lands the #1 recruit in the country and we land Nico and start recruiting at an elite level and suddenly it's a problem. Screw those transparent, hypocritical pieces of dung.

Saban whines about others being able to play by the same set of rules that he has for years...Dabo too. They just want the rules to benefit only them and can't stand fair competition.

I want to win enough to win the regular season championship…..don’t care anything at all about the SEC tournament…… get ready to go win the college World Series.

 

[TheRain]

Yup... and?

This screams insecurities.

When you're at the top with all the power, you want to keep that power. You want to keep the institutions and customs that enabled you to gain power. You don't want the rules to change that may make it more difficult for you, or cause you to lose influence and power altogether.

That's true for college football, the 2-party political system we're subjected to, and a million other things

Is that not a retro 1990 era hat? I actually have that hat or close to it in a box somewhere. It is black, has the UT logo and a real fitted formed BB cap. A friend gave it to me 30 years and it is too small for me, so still in pristine condition

For a long time, Georgia was labelled an underperformer, purportedly due to poor coaching. Smack in the middle of the most fertile recruiting region of the country, but suffering from the longest championship drought among SEC big 6 teams. Then they get a new coach and finally win one in his 6th season, after coming close in his 2nd season.

I know it's not an idea that will receive support on this board, but I'm skeptical that Kirby Smart in the early years of his first head coaching job became one of the godfathers of college football and suddenly UGA was permitted to cheat with impunity, above and beyond its rivals. I think he's a good program CEO and a good defensive mind, made some good hires, and created a buzz that helped UGA's normally good recruiting get even better. Sort of what Josh Heupel is trying to do right now and its a reasonable path for a program to rise above their recent history to win a championship.

Smart brought the Alabama framework to Georgia and executed it very well. It’s a detail oriented approach that includes allowing those who want to “help” do so in a big manner. There’s no doubt UGA is paying top dollar for the best athletes just as Alabama does. There’s nothing to be ashamed of as it’s been a part of CFB since the beginning. Pruitt tried to do the same but he was an idiot.

Under NIL Georgia can continue to pay big money, but now everyone else can too if they have it. For the longest time the UTAD was not interested in competing at the highest level, but the fans are willing and it is showing in this new era.

Did we lose last night's baseball game? I wasn't able to watch or listen. When I looked online for a score it says the game was suspended in the 8th. Does that go as a loss, or will we finish that game? I saw KY was leading .
