I doubt anyone will ever have a team that loaded again. At least not in our lifetimes.

Agreed.

 

[taylorvol]

Lipcius was a helluva first baseman too

Yes, I always said his defense and leadership was underrated.

And all these boys played together for three years, except for Steph.

You want to know why this gent is an award winning Professor? Well for one, he has a positive attitude. It’s your attitude that often determines your altitude, not your aptitude. In business, the winners are often identified by this same trait. Negativity becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hehe I appreciate that, TaylorVol. If I gave up on my student’s every time they encountered a rough patch, I’d never hav any students left. I try to keep everyone focused on the goal and determined to accomplish it ALL while truly believing they will be I have seen and know their true potential. I feel the same exact way with this VOL team.

Absolutely. I realized I probably came across as a “Ted Talk” but appreciate your positive attitude and how you support the team win or lose.

TV there's a thread Tickets to A . Think it's the couple that joins your seats wanting to trade tickets for family coming in. Seems like a even trade. GBO

 

[cardvolfan]

There’s a problem with entitlement. It reared up when we were too cold to play at Mizzou.

This statement should go in a separate Tennessee baseball thread. I always thought entitlement and cold air were connected. Now I know for sure.

 

[preacherman20]

I still think the cold thing is ridiculous. The guys had on the coats that were provided by the team to wear in cold weather. It was cold. When you are not playing, pitchers, extra fielders and such you wear the coats to stay warm so when you are called on your are ready. What did everyone want them to do? Wear short sleeves and get sick.
"Back in my day we walked to school, in the snow, barefooted, both ways." Flat ridiculous.

 

[GOBO-Baseball02]

Errors, strikeouts, pulling starting pitchers, merry go round at SS, portal players not working out as expected, too quick to pull some pitchers and not let them work thru it then they sit and too loyal to others not to pull them when it's going south. Wouldn't be surprised if there's some internal locker room strife. They can't be having fun.

Tough times at LNS.

Cold temps don't cause illness. Colds are viral.

i think the cold weather thing gets overblown, but there is pretty clearly a lack of toughness from some on the team. Even Tony V. has alluded to it. Now whether that is physical or mental toughness is another question.

Oh wow. I guess I’m missing some doozies staying out of the thread during games.

It’s not like the old days where we swapped recipe ideas and talked about camping, and the occasional late night out, etc,…….thats for sure
