The Official Alabama A&M @ #3 Tennessee Thread (Tues. 2/21 4:30PM SEC Network +) (Wed. 2/22 4:30PM SEC Network +)

Sorry if already mentioned, Sewell and Evans haven’t pitched yet due to arm soreness.
This is part of what I meant when I kept saying there are some you won’t see for a while. I can’t tell everything I know.
I’ve had to delete a few things on podcast because they realized they shared something that was within the team. I figured if Vitello did not share, I did not need to.

CTV said it during the post game, but I understand and respect where you’re coming from.

Vitello must have consulted with Barnes about getting Gonsaga on the non conference baseball schedule because Gonsaga and Tennessee play a basketball pre season game every season and sometimes during the regular season as well.
 
Missed tuesday but made it last night.

I could've just slept in my seats after the game the weather was so great. Wearing shorts, even saw a dude in a convertible leaving the garage. I fully realize this probably means we'll be in coveralls and long johns for Gonzaga or Morehead, but I'll take it when I can get it.

I haven't been as happy for an athlete in a long time as I was for Charlie. It was almost more fun watching the dugout go bonkers on his hits.

Edit to add: C. Moore seems to take his #1 jersey pretty seriously. Dude lived outside the rail keeping the energy up for the bench guys getting their chances.
 
Dammit I thought the game was today. Got home excited to watch. Looked on the ESPN app to see what channel we’re on and see we won 23-1…..yesterday. Son of a..
