The Official Tennessee @ South Carolina Weekend Series Thread (Fri. 7PM EST SEC NET+) (Sat. 2PM EST & 1 Hour after first game completion SEC NETWORK)

Carolina isn’t exactly known for having top-notch ground crews.
Remember the playing surface in W-B last fall, with the sand and roots.
One year when I was a kid, they tried to spray their football field with this green dye to make it look good for homecoming. It started raining and players on both teams, as well as the homecoming court, were all green because it splashed on their clothes.
As I recall, it was an improvement of sorts for the homecoming court

Lol it's a tactical plan by S.C.

two 7 inning games on Saturday lessen our bullpen advantage.

That’s exactly why they did it. Bunch of cowards. That state of the ark field is fine.

Hate 7 inning games...

There is absolutely zero reason that the Bermuda Turf they use should be in that type of condition after a rain

SC is a host as of this minute, they lose this series, they’re not. It’s hard not to think that some of this has to do with that

Why two 7s? Why not start at noon and play two 9’s? The original plan was two 9s today? What could it be other than SCs pitching staff all being injured?

It's the supposed "field conditions" which is a load of trash

The field will be good enough to play 14 innings, but not quite good enough to play 18

Uh huh, one of the nicest parks in the country can’t get it ready in time? Right

Regardless of SC injuries, we have better middle relief pitching than they do, so the more they delay these games or play shortened games, our advantage only grows over time. IMO, bad weather benefits teams with strong, deep, healthy pitching because their options aren't limited. Watch for LSU to fail in the post season because of this.

Oh no. This stinks. Was so looking forward to heading over to Founders Park in an hour.

What time does the swim meet start?

Is their plan to get the water in a central location and then pump it off the field? If not, there is no benefit to gathering all the water to the middle of the outfield. This appears to be a purposeful low effort to make it appear like they want to play at 7PM.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I really can't see us going a whole conference schedule without winning a single road series. The boys are gonna get it done this weekend.

 

[Jax_Vol]

It is the "Low Country".


Which, in turn, attracts the low life carnival chicken totin' crowd

 

[spyfish007]

This news stinks! I was so ready to watch us play 2 today! My work calendar was open so I was set.

 

[Jax_Vol]

No way hombre. If we were to sweep Carolina you would still feel that way?

Like the way you're thinking.

Unsure of our exact record, but thinking we are like 2-11ish on road this year. I remember winning one at LSU and one at Georgia. Am I missing any?


Now, you think we might win three in a row against one of the best teams in the SEC?


Interesting. Need to ponder the thought.....

 

[2EastTnVols]

The chickens pull some chicken shi*! Is anyone surprised? Now I guess I'll have to do some work this afternoon

Pumping it out when I drove by an hour ago.

I remember that. The color matched the queen girl's tooth..

Who decides that the double header tomorrow is 7 innings instead of 9... the league?
