Sunny-D makes it 2-1 Tigers

Gotta love that big guy. Much respect.

“What needs to happen for us to win the SEC regular season title” is much more fun than “what needs to happen for us to make Hoover” like it used to be for far too long.

No way dude was remotely like that

No really, I was. ‘cept not a woman...or young and hot...or trapped in a target at night...or riding a mechanical horse.
But practically just like that.
GBO!!

This year is strange but avoiding a sweep on the road in SEC play is still a good result.

Kentucky isn’t as bad as their record is. They had played pretty comparable to a bout a .500 SEC team coming into this series. The 7-14 record was a little deceiving. I hate to rub it in people’s faces but I did say Kentucky had average SEC pitching (which is pretty darn good compared to the rest of the country) before this series started and some just didn’t want to believe it

Tip of the cap to Redmond Walsh! Nice job this weekend.

Also to each of our starters, who kept us in the game. We just couldn't get the bats going against their good pitching. We weren't blasted this weekend, just lost a couple of close games.

I think we have no problem getting up for UGA. will feed off a loud rowdy home crowd

I’ll be there thursday and possibly Saturday. Excited for the series.

Well, I was certainly one who didn't. But I believe it now!! You called it so good on you!!

They had a pitching plan and executed it very well. Other opponents will study the film from this weekend.

LFG!

I think that cat fan broke his thumb trying to catch it

I have been a little tough on Luc lately. Really glad he got some redemption.

A lot of you guys have. I Don’t get it. Dude is an emotional team leader along w Evan and Drew.

Aub 2, Arky 2 B5

Arky ties it up, 2-2.

Generally, the one horse race I watch each year.

Rich Strike is the 2nd biggest upset Winner in the 148th running of the KY Derby. 80-1 Odds wins it all. This horse comes out of nowhere to win the 2nd biggest upset in history.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Okay I’ve figured out what’s going on. We all know about the curse of the #1 seed. Coach TV obviously has too. This was a calculated decision. We have decided to lose some games to get to the #2 seed. It couldn’t be more obvious.

 

[taylorvol]

CTV is so good with the media and fan centric with his comments.

I wonder how much money Mattress Mack lost on that.

Boo!!!

Only at the Derby. When you put 100 horses in the race, odd things happen.

The trainer for the winning horse, Rich Strike, was in tears & so happy he couldn't talk.

Mattress Mack don’t give AF!

Jealous of the weather there

Yes, they did. I think they studied what Tennessee Tech did to us and implemented it. Our guys will have to learn to make adjustments. Hopefully this weekend opened their eyes a bit more.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

After the race was over they tried to have an interview with the jockey while sitting on a horse but the winner kept attacking & biting the neck of the other horse. I'd never seen that before after a KY Derby race and everyone couldn't believe what was going on with the winning horse.

 

[vol66]

Now that things have died down a bit…Obviously, no one can keep up with game day threads and still watch the game. I read enough posts to understand the complaints, concerns, etc…I’m sure someone else probably pointed it out, but my thinking going into this weekend went like this…

UK’s pitching ain’t great, their record isn’t great, they can hit though, catcher is good. My concern was, is the series starting on a Thursday while traveling a day early gonna mess with us? The good news is that will be the routine for the rest of the regular season.

Tip of the cap to UK, pitching and fielding was great and they got hits when they needed ‘em.

Probably got a big dose of meth in the feed bag this morning, it is Kentucky after all.
