Not being a homer, but…yep.

I mean even Liberty was a really solid ball club. It was just imbalanced to say the least.

 

[vol66]

Sounds like you're roughing it 66. Bring an ample supply of corncobs!

I can’t anymore, that’s why I’m asking. Looking into Homewood, bbq?

 

[taylorvol]

Imagine being Dave Hart?

Now that’s really funny! Well played sir!

We stayed at Aloft/Homewood in the past. Salem's Diner legendary for breakfast!

I miss having a Shoney's breakfast bar.

Batted ball struck him in the ankle. He kept pitching.

Sewell was awesome and has tremendous heart. that performance was pure grit and determination.

That’s always batting in the two hole.

 

[wmcovol]

Decent?? A fantastic and incredible start would be more like it.

I’d suggest everyone enjoy this a lot.

Does anyone know the best record for the first half of the SEC season ? 14-1 has to close to the best. I would think. I know we hold the consecutive record with 12-0. Just wondering if anyone knows this

 

[wmcovol]

It’s funny that if one of our football players get injured we know the diagnosis within a few hours. Baseball players? They gotta make an appointment to see the Dr.

I doubt LNS has the same medical equipment as Neyland does.

 

[taylorvol]

Thanks. I'd wondered if the bench was razzing Dolly while he was down and pissed the staff off. Either way the ump and bama broke the orange rule. Never....poke....the....bear. 15-4 is so sweet. I'm sure they thought they'd steal a series from us.

I think the batter who had the infraction struck out on next pitch and was the 2nd out. The next hitter hit the liner that struck Chase. CFA was upset at the fact that the batters box infraction (hitter stepped in and out of the box at least twice) wasn’t called a strike, the 3rd base coach was tipping the pitches by watching Chase’s grip, and some folks in the dugout were clapping after Chase went down. Theory is hitter squared up on Chase bc he knew the pitch. Not against the rules but would be more difficult if 3rd base coach was forced to stay in box.

12 to start the season. UF has 17 consecutive.

It was a shame that they came along one day out of the blue & closed down all of'em.
The last one I remember eating at was about 11-12 years ago. I had the breakfast bar.

Interesting stat for just SEC games


You’re not going to beat Drew Beam with solo home runs
You’re not going to get free base runners

 

[BP4Prez]

Just going to throw this idea out there. So it seems we have good news on Doolander. Still have a hard time believing he doesn’t miss at least one start. So how about this: we give him this coming weekend off (start Tidwell in place). Follow this up with giving Burns the next weekend off (Auburn series). And then give Beam a weekend off the following (Kentucky series).

Just an idea to give everyone a break, particularly the freshmen. Also allows Tidwell to get stretched out. Don’t hammer me too bad.

I love the endless supply of bacon, but man, it comes out at the end.

Not a bad idea. Not sure many teams have ever had the depth to try that strategy. I’ll trust CFA.

Same with the sausage & gravy over biscuits.

I don’t dare.

Just got back to ATL after a long weekend in Knoxville, Attended Fri and Sat game and spent today with family albeit watching most of the game on SEC+ and/or listening to JW. Must say that Saturday’s game rivaled almost any sporting event I’ve ever been to for the intensity and sheer enjoyment. This team and coaching staff is truly special. Makes all the hotel rooms and time traveling well worth it. My daughter and her friend had the best time, and said I see why you are here so often. Good times! #memories

Good to meet you Saturday!

Glad y’all had a good weekend. Thanks again.

Same here. Hated that we didn’t get a chance to talk more... I started to try to find an empty seat near you for an inning or two but it was a pretty full house and I hate being “that guy” not in his ticketed seat. . What a series! Wow!

 

[taylorvol]

. My daughter was originally only staying for one night but ended up begging to go to Sat’s game as well because she and her best friend had so much fun. (It didn’t take much begging as it thrills me that we share the same passion for UT baseball). She loved her Vollie Fingers jersey and you and Kirby made her weekend with the autograph! Sincerely appreciate it!

Come on up- most of the time a few seats in the row above us are empty. We move around and often spread out there.
