Classless vs Catholics

Hmmmmmmmm...............the Pope is having a good chuckle right now,

 

[Volstylexx]

And on that note, our lecture is over. See you all in class tomorrow at 2 Pm. Reminder to turn in your chapter one quiz. NO late assignments accepted.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s not just that he used the f word. its the way he did it. If he hangs his head and mumbled the same words nothing probably happens. But you can’t turn to face the ump and say that to his face and expect to get away with it.

This guy did. Literally moments ago.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I haven't been able to post since the game ended. I've had some time to think now and I know what I want to say:

**** you, Notre Dame. WGWYFA tomorrow.

THAT is the spirit we need!!!!!!!!!

 

[VolPack22]

Hmmmmmmmm...............the Pope is having a good chuckle right now,

Hopefully he doesn’t choke on his food.

 

[Vtonerider]

I wouldn’t say an embarrassment. Concerning? Yes, but not embarrassing.
We got outplayed by a team that had a case to be hosting, it happpens. Let’s wait until tomorrow or even Sunday, before we get too carried away.
I feel you rider, this one hurt, but I’m not going to count this team out yet.
GBO!!

I'm embarrassed for the fans throwing trash on the field not the baseball team. Gilbert could have ended his TN career tonight. That'll take care of itself.

 

[VolPack22]

This guy did. Literally moments ago.

Double standards at its finest.

 

[VolGee4]

Whatever...just adjust to the guys little box and off we go

Eh, guys see thousands of pitches and eyes are trained to know what is and isn’t a strike. You swing and miss, and people asked why you swung at a ball.

There was a strike call earlier in the year on Beck on the outside part of the plate. I’m pretty sure he literally couldn’t hit it unless he almost stepped on the plate. When a strike is impossible to hit, something is wrong.

 

[Volstylexx]

Not a marketing public relationions person I see. Brands are destroyed by events like what happened tonight. Players shouldn't cuss at umpires, fans don't trash thier own field. That's not baseball. You bet the UT administration will have something to say about this behind the scenes too. Doners, sponsors see it too. Not a good look. They'll clean it up.

kk. Think they’ll cancel the $65 million stadium renovation?

 

[Jax_Vol]

A ball is a ball and a strike is a strike. It’s not that hard. Get it right umps.

Even major league umps are known for having their little zone. Frank knows that,

 

[Volstylexx]

What did the Catholics vs ???? t-shirts say?

Classless vs Catholics

Add this to the lecture PowerPoint under:

3a. “how fans embrace the brand”

 

[VolPack22]

Even major league umps are known for having their little zone. Frank knows that,

Yeah and you know what, they get in their feelings too and allow emotions to get in the way of calls. Did you see the guy toss MadBum whenever he checked his hand? They all suck. MLB umps are better than the NCAA but not by much.

 

[Schasz]

The SP and the next two UT RP threw one too many meat balls that the Golden Domers put over the fence. Need to get stout pitching to give us a chance to stay alive. Let's hope they gave the Vols their best shot today, but our team has got to come out on fire from the the very start tomorrow. Let' Go Vols!

 

[docholiday]

Nope, we did however put all the pressure straight on our shoulders. I like our chances.
The pressure of this tournament format is what makes this such a sought after trophy. If it was easy to get, it wouldn’t be so rewarding.

You sure? Most of the idiots on the board think otherwise. All the pressure is on ND by the way. Watch, soak it in and enjoy the next 2 games.
Tennessee will smoke this team.

Army Wife and Juanita I have your back here.

 

[Drewbydoo]

Why does “embarrassing” get thrown around so much?

Some would say that losing a player and coach in a play off game and a must win game to poor sportsmanship is embarrassing.

 

[Dudleys87]

Nope just know that if you drop the f bomb multiple times you’re going to be tossed.

Soft.
Give the kid a warning and move on.
It’s not like he’s calling it down the middle.
Or even close for that matter.

 

[Dudleys87]

Tony’s gotta mind his P’s and Q’s the rest of the way. Umps were definitely trying to over assert themselves and make a personal statement to TN. We gotta be silent assassins.

Sure because going that route changed anything?
Sooner or later he’s going to have to take one for his team. Over and over and over awful call after awful call.

 

[VolGee4]

Yeah and you know what, they get in their feelings too and allow emotions to get in the way of calls. Did you see the guy toss MadBum whenever he checked his hand? They all suck. MLB umps are better than the NCAA but not by much.

This pitch was 3 inches off.

 

[DownTheField]

THAT is the spirit we need!!!!!!!!!

My man. **** them. Go Vols.

 

[bpalmer28]

This guy did. Literally moments ago.

Meh. That just seems whiny to me. Drew was more aggressive. Squared up and took a step toward ump while telling him what he did. We are splitting hairs here though.

 

[Dudleys87]

Gilbert has to learn to control himself better than that and hopefully he’ll learn. He cost the team by getting tossed and taking himself out for tomorrow. That’s a huge bat to be without. It also didn’t work out too well for Frank.

Lol, everyone calls out Gilbert and Frank but the Ump is safe. Like the announcer said if your gonna toss them then toss them all. The game can’t have calls like that on a consistent basis.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

As a Vol fan, I will absolutely never care what an outsider thinks of our program.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Sure because going that route changed anything?
Sooner or later he’s going to have to take one for his team. Over and over and over awful call after awful call.

He takes one for the team he’s gone for 3 games. If we’re losing tomorrow and the game is out of hand then I could see him doing it for the hell of it. But he’s not gonna intentionally risk getting excused from the start of Omaha. I could be wrong though

 

[Proud Army Wife]

This guy did. Literally moments ago.

Lmao a lefty that looks like Gilbert no less

 

[VolPack22]

Meh. That just seems whiny to me. Drew was more aggressive. Squared up and took a step toward ump while telling him what he did. We are splitting hairs here though.

How is it whiny whenever they clearly aren’t strikes??? Get it right.
