The Official #2 Tennessee vs Liberty NCAA Regional Game Thread Saturday 6PM EST

[CAVPUT]

Score early and often. Do not even let liberty in the game

Yes please. I'm not sure I can handle another game like last night so soon. Of course, after seeing both UF and Bama go down last night, I'll take the W any way I can get one.

 

[CAVPUT]

I know one thing for sure. I’m pulling for Duke to somehow beat WSU.

That would be fantastic. We beat liberty and duke puts WSU out. I'd feel a helluva lot better about things if that happens.

About to play golf with Tracy Lawrence, will try to get a pic. Badass!! One of my favorites!

What the hell am I supposed to do all day? Probably a good thing my trip to Knoxville got derailed, would probably be having Bloodys with breakfast right now.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Tonight's game is huge. Win and we will have to be beat twice in a row.

That happened once this season, and did not happen after the gauntlet of the SEC season began.

THAT sounds like a plan!!!

UTSports.com shows ESPN3 again

Why is the #3 seed in the entire tournament not getting any attention from ESPN or SECN for coverage of our games?

I’d like to know that too.

Just taking a stab at this, but it could be the network crews that were sent to each location. I noticed USCe and UF were on secn yesterday and their games are on those same networks today.

Do we know if Heflin or Tidwell is going today?

I think you’re right. However, I don’t understand why USCe has the TV coverage this weekend and the Vols got shut out

I worked at a local FOX network after school and we would always have to decide which NFL games would be televised (I think this decision is made nationally now). Anyway, they would always show the Cowboys games (in Virginia) even though the Panthers and Redskins were closer markets. They did it because of viewer ratings. The Cowboys also sucked so it made ZERO sense from a fan perspective, but the ratings drive revenue.

So we are going to be playing on ESPN 3 again tonight?

 

[TN_gal]

Is it blade or heflin today?

Blade.

We probably won’t see Liberty’s ace tonight since he pitched 100+ pitches in their win over Duke yesterday. That is good news for our guys.

I don’t worry about anyone’s pitching after seeing Arky, Vandy and playing an SEC schedule. If our pitching can hold a team under 5 runs, I’m taking that any day of the week with our lineup.

Yep finalist for national pitcher of the year..they don't have anyone even close to him in innings pitched....Duke is the team that worries me most now, they still have their top pitchers available

Playing for their lives now. They’ll burn them real quick and even if they advance, they’ll have to play a double header Sunday and IF they beat us, play us again Monday. We just need to win today and I bet our % to advance to supers is 90%+

If you're married try to avoid eye to eye contact with your wife as this might cause mouth to ears contact in the form of honey do(s). This could tire you out prior to game time.
Alt idea, put on trunks, wash your car 5-10 times, slowly with beer in hand

Damn, you’re good

CTV said in his post game presser that this regional has three #2 seeds.

I first thought we got disrespected by the selection committee ( still do), but WSU was even done so even more. They should have been with NDame

 

[I4Vols]

Damn, you’re good

Lots of experience

Yesterday, unproductive at work. Today, unproductive at home.

Take pride in your consistency
