The Official EKU @ Tennessee Tuesday 4/11 Game Thread (6:30PM EST SEC NET+)

[volsagain]

Logan Chambers being interviewed by John and Vince. Sounds like a really mature and well spoken young man.

Thanks Taylorvol had a great time !!! GBO little better than last Thursday

I think this was the most complete game we've played all year. Good clean defense, excellent pitching and great ABs....Oh and a large serving of dingers.

I didn’t get to watch the game last night, but I just checked the box score. 9 guys pitched. Not a single walk. CFA! Can’t spell Cafego, without those letters

My brother is a proud EKU graduate so as one can imagine, I’m absolutely loving this!!!

GBO!!!

I'm sure you definitely didn't point out to your brother that there is a rule in place that attempts to shield teams from losing by more than 10 runs, but yet EKU found a way to lose by 12.

He’s my brother, of course I pointed that out.

Oh ok. You had me scared for a minute. I will have to watch them on my phone. The wife and I are flying to Dallas on Friday to watch our son compete for UTK Powerlifting at the USA Powerlifting Collegiate Championships.

I think the correct name of the meet is the USA Powerlifting Collegiate Nationals not Championships.

Good luck to him. Lots of tradition for UT winning big there.

BTW..... Doug Furnas still holds the Collegiate National record for squat and deadlift at 242.

I'm just continually amazed at the command of the strike zone that every single one of the relievers has. About the only one I can think of that sometimes gets behind in the count is Halvorsen. I know it's a small sample size, but they all seem to consistently throw strikes.

Edited because I just realized you were talking about his weight class. That's impressive. My son set a state deadlift record for his age and weight group at his qualifying meet.

There is a lot going on in this photo. Is this what high school wrestling looks like now days?

Edit, I see it’s weightlifting. Still looks super fancy and high tech.

 

[theroyz71]

First squat was good at 235 kg

It's quite the production. College lifters from all over the country.

Congratulations. There are some people in Knoxville that really know how to train for a powerlifting meet If he doesn’t have the right partners.

Thanks. He is part of the UTK powerlifting club bit I have no idea if he is getting any actual coaching. He graduates next month so he will be on his own unless he joins another club somewhere.

Tell him to go see Heavy Harris at Dynabody in Maryville. He trained with Doug Furnas back when he was setting world records. He has a few championships of his own.
