Second hand tickets for today are pretty low (starting at $10 in the main concourse before fees) if you’re ok with some rain.

I have one in the dry for you if you want it.

Kentucky and Georgia postponed. Will be playing 2 tomorrow.

Yep, double header on Easter Sunday. The LSU-USC cancellation has implications for our SEC survivor pool since that series is 1-1 and txbo picked LSU.

Really appreciate the offer, but I already acquired one for a reasonable price a few days ago, thanks again!

He will live to see another week. It’s a push so it’s like it never happened.

Ooooor, you could argue that the prediction was that LSU would win the series, and they in fact did not win the series! Time for NO SIR EEE to get draconian!

 

[VolPack22]

I would take USCjr, Florida, and Vanderbilt over LSU at this juncture. I’m just not 100% sold on LSU. They needed a miraculous comeback to win Game 2 yesterday and got drubbed in Game 1. USCjr is a legit title contender again. The East is freaking loaded.

I have a single ticket IN THE DRY. Only request is you cheer for Vols and don’t resell. Volsgo@outlook.com.

@NO SIR EEE runs the Survivor Pool so we will have to consult his 3 person committee

If I didn’t have family obligations I would be there in a heartbeat.

Oh yeah, oops! I shall edit my post!

On the down low, agree with your rationale, but gotta get an edge any way you can!

Well where I'm at it is pouring the damn rain game might get rained out unless it's not raining in Knoxville

 

[VolPack22]

Looks like they could play at 5pm. No rain in the forecast after 4pm. I can’t recall the postponement rules for Game 3 due to travel for the opposing team though. I’m sure a 3 hour delay wouldn’t impact anything on Florida’s end though. I say hold out and try to get it in.

Also have a free pair in E. Will check email in another hour. Volsgo@outlook.com.

Unless down pour or lightning, they will likely get it in.

NIL money is peanuts with a few exceptions in baseball. 99% of baseball players leave with thousands in debt. 11.7 doesn’t go very far.

Always wondered why baseball gets shaft on a lot of perks such as allotted schlarships and now NIL money is it disrespect of sport or just not a priority in NCAA eyes or Universities eyes

Part of it is Title 9 so they can allocate equal # of scholarships for men and women. Football eats up 85 scholarships and with no female equivalent sport, that means cuts elsewhere. Baseball needs at least 25 scholarships IMHO

I agree and I seen somewhere Vanderbilt gets more perks in baseball dealing with scholarship I think or I may be wrong might have dreamed it

With as much money that these universities bring in, they should be able to fill a roster of 25 scholarships for baseball and softball. I could be wrong but I think the scholarships tie into something with Title IX and making scholarships match for women vs men. I feel like I remember seeing that somewhere but I could be wayyy off on that.

Yes, Vanderbilt has a flexible tuition plan in which they calculate the tuition based on what you can afford for all students. Since they do it for everybody, they are also able to do it for baseball players. It’s a loophole that benefits them.

Good I didn't dream it sometimes I can't remember stuff I grew up in 70s and 80's those decades are still a little fuzzy

Ahuna has been dealing with an injury. Guess we should pile on him too?

can’t hit and needs to find the weight room

Amen. Most are paying to play. We figured the other day and mine will owe about $65,000 to play. Not complaining. But everyone thinks all of these players are making big money. Not real. The ones transferring in are getting paid but very rare for a current athlete to get paid NIL money from the group. These guys only get what they go negotiate and earn. Someone told me the other day your son is making a killing off NIL. I laughed. My son loves it because it is his personality and loves people. Clemson does nil right. You get money when you graduate or leave. If you transfer out, you lose money. According to what I’m told.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I will accept the cancellation.

Starting planning for pigs. Let the Beamer throw game one.
