We've got to stop playing this teams at #200 or lower.

Vols dropped 1 spot in RPI when this game started

Especially since ticket prices are much higher.

This is the lowest RPI team the Vols have played so far. Albany was prior low as they are sitting #260
There are 305 Division 1 teams. Only Alcorn State , Norfolk State, Ark-Pine Bluff, and MD-Eastern Shore are worse)

#305 Eastern Shore is 0-25 and were swept by #303 Norfolk State and have played no team higher than #118



Alabama A&M Overall 4-25 | Home 2-8 | Road 2-17 | SWAC 3-9 | NC 1-16 Last10 3-7
RPI #301
SOS # 292

All 4 wins have been against Q4 teams ( 1-2 AL State | 2-1 vs MVSU | 1-2 vs Ark PB) They also have a win against Non-Div1 school Stillman College (NAIA) Who is 11-23
Did beat MVSU in their last weekend series at home 2 games to 1

The highest RPI team on AA&M schedule - besides Tennessee (#12) was UNO (#110)
 
Given the small amount of rain and no thunderstorms, as the forecast, it looks like they will play today. I hope fans show up and the rain is only a mist.

ETA: Is it safe to say that if you guys have tickets that you bundle up and watch in the rain or is it too miserable?
I might have a ticket in the dry (under the press box). It comes in handy on rainy evenings or on really hot sunny days.
 
Garcia's day is done after 14 pitches and 2 K's. Phillips on the mound for UT.

Phillips - BB (full count).

Sacrifice bunt. Runner advances to 2B.

Phillips - K.

Runner advances to 3B on a wild pitch.

Phillips - BB (full count).

*Runners on the corners with 2 outs*

Ground out to Moore at 2B.

VOLS lead 3-0. Middle of the 3rd.

Phillips is at 23 pitches and 1 K. UT pitchers have 5 K's on the day.
 
Playing small ball against this Vol lineup is a great way to make sure you’re getting back on the bus after 7 innings.
They sure do look like a defeated bunch…you would think they would be pumped to play a good Sec team…guess not
 
The ticket whisperer!
Best kept secret at LNS. Too bad it‘s gone next year once press box is renovated and suites are added. Hopefully they will add more covered areas for the fans. That would be HUGE.

No doubt…you definitely need them. I have not seen renderings of how the new press box is going to look. Do you know any details?
