The Official #1 Tennessee vs Notre Dame Super Regional Games Thread (Fri 6/10 6PM EST ESPN 2) ( Sat. 6/11 2PM EST ESPN ) (Sun. 6/12 1PM EST ESPN)

Thankful that our Knoxville Super Regional is already set, so that we can just enjoy watching these games today!

I'm also thankful that I don't need to convince my wife that I need to take the kid to a 4th consecutive day of baseball

I’ve only just gotten used to South Carolina and Arkansas being in the SEC. It’s gonna take awhile with A&M and Mizzou.

I hear ya. I still view Louisville as a Big East team. ND doesn’t even make sense in the ACC. They belong in the Big 10.

 

[VolPack22]

Give me the Hogs in Omaha. I want bacon bits

Give me Vanderbilt. I want to crush their souls 2 more times and end our season 6-0 against them.

 

[VOLtaism]

The fact that there could be potentially 6 SEC teams in the CWS is nuts. The only reason there wouldn’t be 8 potentially is because they gave Stanford and Maryland a pass and didn’t put an SEC team in their region. I think the record for most teams from one conference is 4. That occurrence has happened 5 times and the SEC was involved 4 of those times, most recently in 2019. If LSU-Ole Miss and Auburn-Vanderbilt are the Supers matchups then there will definitely be 2 SEC teams. Nothing like SEC baseball.

The only question that remains is "which SEC team will win the championship this year"??

 

[cardvolfan]

ND slugging % .479
Vols .607

Vols also have 50-points better OBP.

The school that wears Pantone 151 C. The one true orange in this life.

yeah, and against that putrid schedule too.

 

[cardvolfan]

ND has 1 player over .600 slugging %. Tennessee has 8 (those that play regularly).
As the claim is made in the financial world, past performance does not guarantee future performance, as this explains my late-innings stress.

 

[AllVolinGA]

We gonna get after their smarmy arses and make em limp back to south bend.

Best baseball conference in the country.

Replace “buzzer” with “out”

There is no question the starting pitching has to be better this weekend if we’re going to win, but I highly doubt Dollander has two awful starts in a row, so I feel good about it. He’s going to come back fired up Saturday.

Ok peerless, stop trying to take away from my moment!!


GBO!!

I thought it was Luc’s moment.

Smells like a 7,000 posts kind of thread.

Notre Dame beat us in basketball in Murfreesboro in the spring of 1979.


I'm still pissed.


Time for revenge.

 

[JohnWardForever]

The only team I hate more than Bama is ND, and they are a real close 2nd.

Hold grudges much?

No such thing as an easy path in June. We're in the Super Regionals. You're going to face one of the 16-best teams in the country. Notre Dame doesn't scare me. A very good team, but we've handled very good teams all year. I'd rather face a team whose known for pitching over offense any way. Our lineup will keep us in any game against any pitcher. Tidwell/Dolly/Beam/Burns will have a less powerful lineup to deal with this weekend, which is good.

Yep, I 100% agree. And we always talk about how ND gets all the unfounded love/bias, and rightfully so, but now we have a chance to really prove it. I want to embarrass them.

But then we beat them in football that fall.

Been holding it in for 43 years. Laimbeer was throwing elbows. Would test a hotel fire alarm system, but we need to be classsy..

I was a freshman at Boston College when we went into South Bend and defeated the #1 Irish the week after they beat Florida State. It was ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS!!!

Hubert Simpson baby! Notre Dame only had six black kids on their entire football team including one Vagus (sp?) Fergusan (sp?).

Still pissed at the whole little leprechaun thing. Every time I see that little prick, it reminds me of Nick Saban.

I hope we save Burnes for a potential game 3. He's a weapon out of the pen, but Mabry, Connell, Sewell can you give you multiple innings as well.
