Their baseball program could have gotten the same notoriety and respect from other schools much cheaper by simply wearing underwear outside the pants a standard part of their uniforms.

Hope you find your card. Maybe don’t tell people in a public forum where you bank at though

I’m just going to get it replaced.

I’ve searched most areas where it could be, and can’t find it.

NBA Finals Game 3 Tonight in Dallas
Celtics at Mavericks

Even though the Mavericks kept the second NBA Finals game competitive and thrilling except they lost to a stacked a Celtics team.
So it’s surprising the Celtics would be an underdog for game 3 in Dallas because the Mavericks trail 0-2 with only 1 realistic chance of winning which was in the second game because the first game became a dumpster fire in the 1st half.

You are right that’s a very strange baseball field which is using a dark shade of red grass instead of the dime a dozen common green grass field.

Well Vols fans we are moving fast to Friday the anticipated CWS game Florida State vs Tennessee.

It’s likely to be a warm Spring day in Omaha possibly hot although it’s a night game so the heat most likely won’t be a challenge.

 

[firestorm]

Anybody going to be watching AEW on the same night as NBA Finals game 3 Celtics at Mavericks?

I’m working as a Busser tonight as usual like most working days at Texas Roadhouse so I’ll be able to see portions of the Celtics playing the Mavericks on ABC.

Dude could hit and catch…..no batting gloves, elbow/ankly guards…..just a bat and helmet and let it rip. Could watch those games all day long.

Because I'm bored ...

Some fun with numbers for you all today while we wait for the next game—I decided to look up the overall win/loss record and conference win/loss record of every SEC team since Tony's arrival (2018-2024). Games played overall are not the same for every team, obviously, but conference games played should be right around 178-180 for each.

A lot of ways you can dissect this info, but the Vols are tied with Arkansas for the highest overall winning percentage in that span, and they're just behind Arkansas in conference winning percentage. They're also the only two teams with a conference winning percentage of .600+ in that time. So, long story short, Tony inherited a program in the best baseball conference in America that was kinda lost in the abyss, and six full seasons later, his teams have put up numbers that are genuinely incredible. If you had told any of us when he was hired that he'd win at a 70% clip, including winning 60% of his conference games, the reaction would've been pure disbelief. And of course, these numbers would only look better if you exclude the first season or two when Tony was getting his feet under him.

Alabama
Overall: 212-154 (Winning % = .579)
Conference: 68-110 (Winning % = .382)

Arkansas
Overall: 284-123 (Winning % = .698)

Someone has funny ways to kill time B4 the next game coming.

 

[VolPack22]

The greatest collection of baseball players for one night at least. I would kill to have been alive and been there in person. 22 players and managers from that game made it to Cooperstown, 17 won a MVP and 7 won a Cy Young.

Let all the names on this field on this one night sink in: Rod Carew, Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Frank Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, Jim Palmer, Johnny Bench, Willie McCovey, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Willie Stargell, Lou Brock, Ron Santo, Tom Seaver, Steve Carlton, Ferguson Jenkins, Juan Marichal and Roberto Clemente, who would sadly be there for the final time. The managers, the Orioles' Earl Weaver and the Reds' Sparky Anderson, are also in the Hall of Fame.

I would like to see everyone’s winning percentages over the past 4 seasons. Pretty sure Arkansas and Tennessee are the only teams in the conference with 3 seasons of 20+ wins during that timespan but I know we have the most wins.

I will say it is pretty remarkable that Arkansas has won 18+ games over the past 7 conference seasons.
