Sure don't look tlike the bats of a top 10 team.

 

[Volstylexx]

See y’all tomorrow night. Beat Baylor and it’s not a terrible showing. Could have been beaten by St John’s like Florida. Lol.

We beat the ranked opponent. That’s the one win you wanted coming into this weekend.

Some were ready to cancel the season after game 2 last year and it turned out pretty good

 

[Christian Lowe]

2 out

 

[taylorvol]

Its really the only reason I dont think they will win it all with him as a coach.. Too many times where he just tries to trust his guys and needs to look at what is actually happening. Instead, he definitely just let that freshman take a huge shot to his confidence in his debut

i wouldn’t trade CTV for any other Coach. I wish there was a fan portal

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

I hate that the score looks like we got smacked, when it was just 1 bad inning

 

[VolGirl81]

Early season learning curve, let’s go get Baylor tomorrow nite!

 

[Frosty]

Tony is the only reason our program is relevant lol. I can’t believe I even have to type that

Gotta find the bats. simple as that.

I think he is a great coach, but hasnt done anything to prove to be elite.. Doesnt mean I would fire him tomorrow but I am allowed to have an opinion on a message board lol

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Ooof. Ah well, it’s baseball. Long season ahead. Imo, we are looking good early. CMO has been terrific at SS. I think this team will be just fine once it finds the bats.

 

[Weezer]

Losing hurts my heart, but it happens. Some of y'all need to calm your tits. Not gonna win every game. Some bad breaks tonight, but we'll bounce back.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Every individual on this forum would be sucked into the fan portal if a negative comment was all it took lol

I would consider multiple Omaha trips to be elite, but everyone’s definition is different

I wasn’t sure if you were trolling before, now I’m sure.

 

[Bigvalley84]

Pitching was good enough , hitting not so much , how long is Antigua gonna be out

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

TV left Combs in too long, after that fist walk, he should have pulled him

Yep. It still amazes me how many fans think you have to win every game in a 60 game season. This is not football or basketball.

“Hasn’t done anything to prove to be elite”

Dawg there is no way you’re sober. 2/3 years has taken us to Omaha. Assembled best team probably in CBB history in 2022. He is the entire program. Tennessee wasn’t even making REGIONALS for years before him.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Second game of the season. No one should be panicking right now. Long season and plenty of things to work on

Amen.

 

[jdogvol]

I know these early season non-conference games are sorta like training camp, but it still sux to loose.

Making Omaha 2x in 5 eligible years is pretty elite and the evidence you need. Especially given how bad the program was when he took over. It took Corbin 13 years to get to Omaha for the 2nd time. 5 > 13.

So is the clown that "coaches" lsu elite by your standards?

What a douche. Skip Johnson blows off Shriners team buddy for last high five.
