You don’t have to be a top 8 team. You just have to be one of the 64 teams that is in the tournament then keep earning your right to stay. They are a top 8 capable and talented team though. NC State was not even close to a top 4 team in basketball. It’s sports!

They got gifted one of the worst 2 seeds in the tournament. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

There was more to the back-and-forth if I remember correctly. But it’s been scrubbed from what I can find. This is a screenshot. I took, though of the main crook of his argument.

I was looking at the scoring last night and every run was scored off of a homerun. That is pretty remarkable.

Are you talking about the VOLs game last night? Bottom of the 2nd, Burke had a RBI double (Cal Scored).....next batter Billy had a RBI (C-Mo) but was thrown out by the 2b.

Do y’all think Corbin is gonna start feeling the heat being the highest paid coach in college baseball? This isn’t the same landscape he was able to manipulate before CTV and NIL.

He is making $500K more than the next-highest coach. He is even earning more than 6 MLB managers.

How much heat can there be? It’s Vanderbilt! I don’t mean that in my normal tone. He has a salary and a resume to back it up. I mean no disrespect to him at all! He built that, he’ll leave on his terms…I said earlier this year he looks tired.

When Saban retired he mentioned the landscape of College Sports changing…in CTV’s presser he mentioned it after making Omaha, NIL has changed things, especially at a school like Vandy, the advantage they’ve had is gone.

Man they got a close up of you eating some nuts in the 6th inning. 🤣 i was like, I KNOW who that is! Glad you were able to see the Vols ring in another trip to Omaha. It's becoming a tradition for you.

Ha. Yes a few folks sent me that pic! LOL. I do love my Chinook Seedery Sunflower seeds. I think Kirby used to do some NIL work for them. It’s a habit while watching the BaseVols.
