The Official Tennessee vs Alabama SEC Tourney Game Thread 11AM EST

[NO SIR EEE]

Hoover, AL- Tennessee (43-15) moves on to face No. 10 seed Alabama in another elimination game. That contest is scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m. ET on the SEC Network. Winner will advance to Saturday's semifinals.

NOTABLE
A HOOVER WIN: Tennessee snapped a seven-game losing streak at the SEC Tournament with Thursday's victory over Mississippi State. Prior to Thursday, the Vols' last win in Hoover was a 6-4 victory over Vanderbilt on May 23, 2007. UT also improved to 4-2 against the Bulldogs in the SEC Tournament with the win.

CHEESE BREAKS INTO TOP 10: Junior starting pitcher Chad Dallas earned his 10th victory of the year on Thursday, moving into the top 10 in a single season in program history. The Texas native is tied with five other players on the list: James Adkins (2005), Wyatt Allen (2001), Jamie Bennett (2000), Michael Cosgrove (1997) and Ryan Meyers (1995).

His 10 wins are the most by a Tennessee pitcher since 2005 when Adkins had 10 and Luke Hochevar set a program record with 15.

We’re weirdly the away team in this game aren’t we?

Weather in Hoover: overcast all day with afternoon thunderstorms. Vols must provide morning thunder& lightning to crush Bama.

With all that s&:t that their fans have talked on Facebook, and that beyond bogus interference call on Ferguson, how friggin sweet is it going to be when we wax them today, and it keeps them out of the NCAA regionals??? GO BIG ORANGE!!!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We are indeed the away team. I think it’s pretty dumb Alabama gets to be home team both last night and today. Higher seed should always get to be home team otherwise what is the point of seeding?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Yeah, us being the visitors is a steaming pile of sh**. Won’t matter when we’re putting up crooked numbers all day long

 

[VFFL@THE BEACH]

Always a good day to beat the bammers!

Go Vols!

We noticed that yesterday and had to Google how home teams are set. Sort of over complicated by the NCAA and which the SEC follows for the tourney. Bottom line, it seems being the #2 seed didn't buy us much in this regard. It's sort of like "every kid deserves a trophy" approach.
Hey, the weenies need to accept the fact that someone wins and someone loses, in love, war and sports.

To hell with Bama.

I hope it's a laugher, something like 15-1 in the 3rd. Good guys laughing
