I am pretty damn sure there were plenty VN posters that thought the Humps had us too.

When we were down four early I thought "well, it's early - plenty of time to wear this pitcher down and get into their bullpen." But I also thought it best to stay away from this board so as not to endure gleeful trolls or negavols. When we chipped away and got the three, I knew we would at least be in the fight until the end. At no time did I think: Uh-oh, we're gonna lose. But I did console myself by noting that we are built for these tournaments with our great depth of pitching, so even if we slid into the loss bracket we would still win the regional.

Can I just say it’s a lot more fun to read all these NegaVols comments today when I know the outcome than it would have been during the game. I’m not worried about Pitching because by tomorrow blade come back for a limited amount, Kirby, and Dollander. Their coach obviously does not care about their kids arms and I am willing to bet if they beat Georgia Tech we see the kid at through Friday night throwing again today after 120 pitches Friday night and the kid who faced us throwing again tomorrow if they pull it off. No way my kid would ever play for a coach like that

Another reason to hope they don't win.

They’re a really good team. They should have felt like they could win and would win. That’s what really good teams do. I suspect we’ll see them again tonight and they’ll be even hungrier to win. We’ll need to bring it. I knew when they were put in our regional and pundits were calling our path easy that those pundits were stupid. Campbell would have beaten probably any other team with how they played and pitched tonight. Just not Tennessee.

I guess I am trying to draw a distinction between that belief you can win and a certainty you will win. Here is the thing I am thinking about. I think they will struggle to win today. It is hard to come back when you are winning and losing with your emotions. They looked spent.

It’s nice to see a father and son share the college experience.

I saw this posted earlier. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding?
You are a wonderful poster and add a lot to the forum.

This is ridiculous. This is a message board for fans. The word fan is short for fanatic. People will post stupid stuff from time to time as we are all emotional people. For a mod to start limiting who can and can't post in a CWS game thread is just as dumb as the people whining all year about us breaking the "unwritten rules" of baseball. For a mod to say "they questioned the coaches and players, how dare they" is the same as old people yelling at football games for people to sit down.

I never followed UT baseball until this year. I started watching and listening to games as it is a blast to watch and hear the kids have so much fun playing the game. The games threads have been just as fun. Laughing at people that have to eat crow for their idiotic comments is part of the fun of a message board. I think a few people need to remove the sticks from their nether regions and just let people enjoy the fun that this board provides us.

Not criticizing you, but maybe spend time interacting with us and see what this forum has become, and you will see why it’s very special to us and why we want to protect it. The mods are fans just like us who we all respect, it’s not an easy job, so please just spend time and get to know us, you will appreciate what we have here.

No one is getting reprimanded unless they directly call out a player or coach by name. You can say whatever you like but when negative comments are squarely directed to a player, it’s unacceptable.
