The Official #1 Tennessee vs Alabama State Regional Game Thread Friday June 3rd (6PM EST SEC NETWORK)

[Volstylexx]

You never heard about wetting your finger & putting it up in the wind?

3.2 mph to the south East

 

[Volstylexx]

Seriously just heard from someone connected that he and TV had a huge argument (not sure what about) and he went awol.

6th year senior doesn’t go awol the night he breaks the record for most career starts in a TN uniform. (IMO)

Seriously just heard from someone connected that he and TV had a huge argument (not sure what about) and he went awol.

But also… that might be the best case scenario for TN. No injury, no illness, no discipline issues. Mend your fences and win a title… so I’m sorta pulling for this to be true.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If true, that is just an absolutely gutting blow.

I checked on reddit, I know not the best source, but I saw a lot of speculation that he broke his hand.

 

[MAD]

If it is an injury...i just dont understand why you wouldnt announce it now

My guess it’s maybe a personal family matter or maybe he violated team rules by staying out late.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

That sounds very unlike Evan. I find that very hard to believe. So, he has an incredible season and is a leader all year and then the day of the game he just abandons his brothers at the most important point of the season?

Nah. I’m not buying that.

Ditto.

 

[Volstylexx]

Whoa! Did those sunglasses come with a free bowl of soup?

Mike honcho is my spirit animal.

Wow. She was the reason they beat UT. She was unhittable. Did the same thing to Stanford to get them to the WCWS

Yea Florida beat them 7-1 without her. the announcers speculated it was health related.

Example: We don't want Alabama State to know that Tony drilled him in the ribs in batting practice. It could factor into strategy for the remainder of the weekend.

It could be a thousand different things...all distractions. First, win the game!

Then we can talk and sleep on it.

 

[Volstylexx]

My guess it’s maybe a personal family matter or maybe he violated team rules by staying out late.

So Alabama State can go to twin peaks but Evan can’t stay out late. Seems unfair

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If Evan is out for the season with an injury, I’m heartbroken for him. He didn’t deserve to go out like this.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If it is roids. **** em, we been down for so long I don't give a ****.

 

[Drewbydoo]

I'm sending my love and positive energy to Charlie.

Stay positive.

BE positive.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

3.2 mph to the south East

So, we hit how many Dongs in tonight's game w/help from the wind? I think 4 is good.

 

[Bigorange123]

 

[Ttucke11]

Going to be rumors galore until TV gets on the mic tonight.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If Evan is out for the season with an injury, I’m heartbroken for him. He didn’t deserve to go out like this.

No, and this sounds terrible but it being an injury is better than any other sort of distraction a failed drug test or violation of rules might be

 

[Juanita]

Just to stir your macho, sexist juices:

 

[A Typical Vol Fan]

I checked on reddit, I know not the best source, but I saw a lot of speculation that he broke his hand.

Certainly seems unlikely given that he was good to go yesterday afternoon, but still could be possible I suppose. Personally, the sudden and abrupt nature of this development jointed with all of the contradictory rumors circulating has led me to just choose to ignore everything and wait for Vitello’s postgame press conference

 

[JohnD13]

It’s an Arkansas fan troll

Report him to Twitter. Get him suspended

 

[DazzleVol]

Gilbert is playing cornerback?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

From the other Russell is out thread, Ben McKee confirmed it wasn't an injury or arrest related on VQ.

 

[Jax_Vol]

So Alabama State can go to twin peaks but Evan can’t stay out late. Seems unfair

Discipline is required. If so, Robert Neyland would be proud.

But, who knows what it is....?
