The Official Tennessee vs Texas A&M Round 1 SEC Tourney Game Thread (Tues. 1:45PM EST SEC NETWORK)

[Orange.]

I'm just wanting a rested, focused, and confident squad headed into the regional. Maybe we'll surprise some people.

I wonder what the Ole Miss fans were thinking at this exact time last year.

Light rain in Hoover this morning, but forecast better than yesterday. Vols return to Knoxville later today. We got back to the room after midnight CDT & are here for the duration of SECT.

I wonder what the Ole Miss fans were thinking at this exact time last year.

The Ole Miss comparisons are a bit off, at this point. They were questioning whether they would even make the field right now. They made it as a 3 seed. They didn’t go into Hoover hoping to win enough games to host, because that was off the table. Tennessee is likely going to be a 2 seed with a small chance to host.

But like 22 Ole Miss and 21 Miss St., this team has the right pieces if it gets hot, has quality and depth on the mound, and will be well-rested after going winless in Hoover (22 OM was 0-1, 21 MSU was 0-2 and got run-ruled by the Vols).

Enjoy the “pressureless” ball.

Hope for crash & burn for Bama & vandie. Otherwise, I'm a mere spectators.

Suppose I'll be for aTm, since they beat us. Auburn is my dark horse, but pitching is suspect.

As a fan do you think in future the SEC will go to the pool format as ACC does after Texas and Oklahoma join next season?

It's likely.

I can't believe there were three shutouts on Tuesday.
No one was using typical starting pitching.

 

[nashvillepanther]

SEC pitching is best in class, and it isn’t close .

I think of higher-end SEC pitchers as akin to High A/AA minor league ball.

 

[VOLfrombama]

It's likely.

If you're looking for some grub, try Biscuit Belly in the shopping center (Brock's Gap) near the Met. Holy crap its good.

Also if you like good BBQ, Saw's in Homewood is the jam. Their ribs are magnificent. Jim and Nick's in Hoover near the Galleria is not bad if you want something closer.

Cajun Cleaver has good food to go.

Melt has good sandwiches

Whiskey Foxtrot has good Burgers

I wonder where LSU is going to find pitching for today?

I see Skenes is not pitching that's why I favor S.C. could be wrong though

 

[taylorvol]

I made it just in time for the 9th inning rain delay. Saw 5 outs in person. Lol. Stuck around to watch Alabama beat UK. 3 shutouts on opening day.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wherever we go, I just pray for beautiful weather during that weekend’s regional. We seem to really let poor conditions affect us more than other teams do.

 

[Vol737]

Knoxville open is this weekend so I’m hoping for no rain on Friday Saturday Sunday

Yes, I agree. I’m going as well. Have not been to the Knox Open since it moved out to Holston. I play out there on occasion with a friend of mine that is a member. That McConnell group has done a nice job with the upgrades to the clubhouse/facilities.

LSU trying real hard to blow a 6 run lead. Just walked in 2 runs to make it 6-3.

Lawd. As a 56 year old man…when I asked earlier, “we win when we talk about prostrates.”
maybe it stops now.

You're young.

We have the pitching for sure. Offense is inconsistent and the defense is just OK. Need to take this time to reset and figure out a few things on offense.

Has the first round always been single elimination?

Too many posts about prostates deleted. Got to place this loss squarely on 66.

down on the bayou? at a tailgate crayfish boil?
