The Official Tennessee vs Clemson Regional Game Thread (Sat. 6/3 6PM EST ESPN2)

[Tenacjim]

I think that game proved, especially in light of what is happening in other regionals, that both of those teams deserve to be in a super regional.

Really sucks for either team to lose that one. Tip of the cap to, Clemson. Hell of a game.

You’re right. I think in the NCAA’s attempt to screw TN, they wound up screwing Clemson instead.

Thanks for that up-tempo version--perfect for the occasion! I'd never heard Sam cover it.
(..and I just love the way girls dressed back in the early 60s!)

I think this version needs to be played after every Tennessee win in every Tennessee sport

 

[AllVolinGA]

Great job by the team battling all game long. Just goes to show that as long as you got a strike left you still got a chance. Go Vols. Win it tomorrow.

Decent chance we get an Ivy League team next week

 

[UTFanHades]

opened with a textbook win and then rallied in hostile territory vs a deservedly 3/4 ranked Clemson. Amazing performance on the road. Outstanding effort all around but especially to the pitchers and coaching staff. I think it’s the best they’ve fielded all year (looking at Maui especially).

 

[ALStateLineVol]

I turned off the Volume what did Campanella get tossed for?

No one knows for sure, other than he said something to Denton after they turned a double play. I'm sure we find out what he said at some point that warranted an ejection.

You’re right. I think in the NCAA’s attempt to screw TN, they wound up screwing Clemson instead.

That has to be the first time in the history of vol sports that a rule change enacted because of the vols ended up helping us instead of hurting us the next year.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Tip of the Damn cap to Burns and Halvy’s relief appearances. 9 innings of 1 ER in relief. INSANE!

Oregon 8

Vanderbilt 4

1 more win, and UT will likely HOST #4 seed Penn!!!!

It was a miracle to get out of a bases loaded, no out jam in the bottom of the 10th.

I’m certainly sweating like I did….

Grice at bats had my blood pressure gunned at 140

Today our pitching depth saved us AND we're not completely spent for the next game.

We're taxed, but not spent. Most teams, if they won this game wouldn't be in a position to win the next. ie Clemson has a game in 13 hours with their adrenaline still pumping right now, plus frustration, plus being irked by that goofed up ejection which MAY make that player unavailable for the next game. That's a lot to deal with.

If they were gonna eject anybody, I wish it had been those biased announcers.

 

[spyfish007]

I am ready to watch again after that call!

 

[Drewbydoo]

"Coach, we're still going out for ice cream, right?"

[BruisedOrange]

Somebody gotta have Wilkersons call to this

He was off the air when I came back 13th inning, everyplace I looked for him. Even the UT site.

 

[UTFanHades]

I am ready to watch again after that call!

The hero we deserve

Theyre salty.

And that o

Tip of the Damn cap to Burns and Halvy’s relief appearances. 9 innings of 1 ER in relief. INSANE!

And that one run came on the first pitch via an inherited runner.

Without that dangerous hump in right field, we win the game in nine innings. Scott stumbled over it
