@TheMookieMonster, did you see the time @mad4vols lost an avatar bet (betting on the lions, no less) to @cobbwebb0710 and had to use Kirby Smart’s pic as avatar the week of the Georgia game? Classic mad

 

[Volfan1000]

Spring training ball parks will also be opening up soon and it will be very interesting to see if Acuna and Albies can have bounce back seasons along with Morton and I will also be looking forward to seeing how much Sean Murphy will be able to fit into the Atlanta locker room.

I got really unlucky losing that bet.

After that loss, Lions were one of the best teams in the league going 8-2 the rest of the way.

If you hadn’t made that bet, maybe they would’ve won that game and made playoffs?

Hmmmpft. Only 14-1 days till first pitch (yes…cause I’m a baseball fan)!
On the road, our 2022 Vols were 13-2! We swept road series at Ole Miss in Oxford, then at Vandy…(wut bat sticker?), then Florida, (glory be dem boyz were good). 9-0 on the road to start the SEC season. Things hit a snag in Lexington, where we went 1-2 in miserable weather. We rebounded in Stark Vegas (27-2…really?) to finish a stellar road schedule!

We'll be playing in two of those spring training parks on opening weekend. Should be fun.

12 days until first pitch! We’re on the downhill now, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Today we’ll celebrate #12 in our program, Kyle Booker. Kyle led his DeSoto Central HS squad to back to back Mississippi State Championships in 2018 and 2019.
