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

Really don't want to have to play 2 on Saturday before SEC Tourney starting Tuesday. Don't need that many pitchers to throw that close to the Tourney start.

Obviously, this is a conspiracy against us: The Weather Channel Hates Us!

With Hoover looming, I'm not quite sure how they'll handle this. Maybe play a DH and cut it to 7 innnings to try and get things in?

Well, no team ever did well in the postseason without somewhere along the way accruing confidence that they can successfully battle through adversity.

Our path to the SEC Tourney may not be one we'd choose, but in the end, who knows... it may prove to the team's benefit.

Everyone has their superstitions, even if they're not comfortable with them.
But numbers don't lie. That's the benefit of digital analysis.

With that in mind, do you have any prostate material for today? I'm out of anal-ysis jokes.

The trouble with prostate jokes is that they are inherently gender-exclusive, and we have some incredibly sharp female VFLs contributing to this thread. It's all outside their experience, and they probably don't want to go there anyway.
(wish I had worded that differently)

Like I always say, be careful when experimenting with gameday and rally superstitions--make sure it's something you enjoy!

With the weather casting doubts on the weekend, maybe this is the week to upgrade our gameday superstitions. If what you normally do hasn't worked consistently this season, if your last year's mojo maker has lost its potency, maybe now is the time to upgrade to something you know you'll still enjoy 3 years from now.

Speaking scientifically, we really do need to get our gameday and rally shibboleths nailed down before tourney time begins.

If they still serve that Carolina Slaw Dog, you must get one.

When we'd visit in-laws in Pennsylvania, and take my brothers-in-law and their young boys golfing, I'd fix chili-slaw dogs with onions like that the night before, and wrap them in wax paper. When we got to the golf course next morning, I'd line 'em up on the dashboard of the car, parked facing into the sun.

Enjoying all those flavors melded together and steaming hot by the 9th hole break, and answering the young boys' questions about golf and life... good times. Good times, indeed. I'd probably cry if I tasted one today.

It is out of my experience, but I do know from my husband and father. Father has had prostate cancer for over 15 years and told me today his psa is 75! Luckily hasn’t metastasized yet, but it’s just a matter of time. He’s out of options other than living a good, active life for what he has left.

Let’s start a new game day tradition today for everyone! ( I still think the prostate jokes are funny though)

What should we do?????🤔

Let's do favorite ways to cook to chicken. 😂 I can't help but go with coq au vin, under the circumstances.

I like to get the smoker hot, take a marinated chicken, insert a big stick up it's butt, and slow cook.

After a couple of hours, I then enjoy jabbing it with an internal meat temperature readout.

VG81 (and All Volnation),

I am sorry to hear about your father, but I love the attitude and spirit to enjoy every and all our moments! Life is but a vapor....enjoy every minute!

I understand that some don't know the origin of the prostate talk, but here it is:

I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at 49. It was detected off a routine physical PSA test. Hardest conversation I ever had with my teenage boys was discussing my own mortality with them. (One of whom is a recent Ewing's Sarcoma survivor himself - google "rotationplasty" and tell me if he is not your new hero! He is the toughest kid I know!)

One slow Tuesday night earlier this season, the "prostate talk" started. I encouraged every man to demand a PSA test starting at 45! My own cancer diagnosis had a hidden genetic component. Had the doctors known about the gene mutation, they would have ordered tests sooner for me, and my medical prognosis may have been different.

But they didn't know. And they may not know for YOU or a MAN YOU LOVE.

During the prostate talk, TN started scoring runs. The next game, same thing: prostate talk = runs. It became a superstition and a running joke, especially as it continued to work.

I do understand those who have grown weary of it as the season has gone on, but I will stay on my soapbox, and I will call on the talk when the Vols need runs. I hope that when I do it, it will be a reminder to every man out there to get their PSA checked. Demand it! Insurance doesn't want to cover it until you are 45. I am lucky my doctor ran the test at 49, and didn't wait until 50.

Anyway, it is my PSA to people about PSA. And adding the talk to baseball talk serves two purposes for me: 1. I get to share an important message during the entertainment of the forum during games and 2) I know that someday, someone will post about a life saving diagnosis because of an early PSA test.

That will make all the talk worth it to me. So, my apologies to all who find it tiresome, but I will, *occasionally* keep up the prostate talk. For men's health, and for RUNS!

Kindest regards,

Ritzwatch

All you can ever do is live your best live! I hope you’re holding strong with your diagnosis.

Interesting about your genetic mutation. Because of all the breast cancer in my family, my dad with prostate cancer and me with a history of melanoma, I got genetic testing done. Must people don’t know that breast, prostate, pancreatic, kidney cancer and melanoma are grouped together, genetically related to each other. Luckily, my tests only came back with a variant for melanoma, which was no surprise. It’s not to say you still can’t get these types of cancer, but helps you understand your odds a little better.

Ok, that was my PSA for the day-literally. Back to baseball!
