One of my very best friends in ROTC at UT started at A & M. He was a really good dude, so I have always kind of liked A & M also. Jimbo is making me not like them as much, but they are an interesting fanbase for sure.
ERA is a funny animal------the formula for calculating ERA is earned runs given up times 9 divided by the number of innings pitched. A good example is if you give up 5 earned runs in 3 innings you're screwed. 5 times 9 divided by 3 is an ERA of 15. To me, it doesn't mean sh*tJust throwing this out there…what would y’all think if Tony swapped Russell and Becks batting spot hoping that would fire beck up before the sec tournament and get him going into Omaha?…ive been pondering on this for a minute and looking at his batting average as it stands I think it would be a good coaching move and since when has beam had a 8.53 ERA

ERA is a good representation of how someone performs over the long haul…. Not as good for individual games although 5 runs in 3 innings does suck….. I prefer WHIP to judge how good a pitcher performs compared to ERA.ERA is a funny animal------the formula for calculating ERA is earned runs given up times 9 divided by the number of innings pitched.

So you are saying the meteor strike is imminent?This is kind of a random thought but I truly believe - and this isn’t just homerism speaking - that we’re on the eve of a very fun, exciting, and successful era in Vols football.
I think Oregon under Kelly is our floor. That’s our floor.
I think we’re gonna be the “it” team. Kids are gonna want to play here. Heupel and Danny White were exactly what we needed.
Couple that with Sabans pending retirement, the new pod system likely removing playing the big 3 every year, and NIL…. And I love our future.
