The Official Texas A&M @ #1 Tennessee National Championship Game 1 Thread (Sat. June 22 7:30 EST) (ESPN)

I'd rather face A&M. Florida seems to always have our # when it counts. Thoughts?

 

[NorCalVol67]

Still trying to grasp the Vols are in the CWS finals.

A&M just seems sooooo non-Texas. Can’t imagine some dork in painted overalls, clasped hands and yelling strange chants wouldn’t get their a$$ whooped in 98% of the bars and honkytonks in the state.

I hope other Vol fans are watching Florida and Texas AM game because it's GOOD

Congrats on the win today. Outside of game 1, your boys are making it look easy. You’re in a great position for your first NC! And for me to pick up $550!

Thanks Tiger…let’s play for a national title against one another soon!

Not only can I not cheer for FU, I think O'Sullivan is a massive p.o.s. off the field and as a human being. I don't wanna bring down this thread, but he's been accused of multiple affairs including one that ended in tragedy with his current wife and her losing her husband and kids to murder/suicide. To me it's on the level of Michigan St and PSU, etc.............he shouldnt be in the position he is in. I hope FU gets curb stomped simply because of him.

I think we are on a streak right now and it's destiny like 98'..........I'll take A&M

A&M it is.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Neely has to be running on fumes…that’s a tough ask to have him to bail you out/bring it home game after game.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Great catch.

I wish one of those planes would take out that stupid gecko.

Affairs happen every day and they don’t end in the husband doing what that guy did. It’s not been proven, nor should it matter, that Sully was the other man. The bigger POS was the ex-husband who robbed his innocent kids of their futures cause of his selfishness.

Pitching staff is set up about as good as it can be for the Finals.

Rest days by Saturday:

Stamos: 7 days rest
Causey: 7 days rest
Combs: 7 days rest
Behnke: 7 days rest
Beam: 5 days rest

Connell: 3 appearances in 6 days, 58 pitches

Snead: 3 appearances in 6 days, 93 pitches

The only guy that is 100% not available on Saturday is Sechrist but we would’ve never saw him anyways. Snead threw quite a few pitches in a 6-day span but if he’s needed for an inning or two on Saturday I’m sure he would be available. Everybody else is good to go. I’m sure we’ll see the same strategy of Stamos and Causey and hopefully pull out a win with Beam going in Game 2 on 6 days rest to lock up a Natty.

 

[VOLfrombama]

I bet Causey is chomping at the bit. He had a tough day last time he was on the bump

 

[fryeguy93]

It’s a shame one of the Nashville or Knoxville charter bus companies don’t have time to book a trip to Omaha

And all sorts of people freaked out about how many pitchers we used last Friday.

 

[spyfish007]

aTm official now. Time to attack them, Go Vols!

 

[BallerVolFan]

Yeah doesn’t really matter how many when most of them threw 20-30 pitches max. We’re set up nice.

How far was Blake's homerun today?

They only seem to worry about "exit velo" now, even on ground balls. Never heard of it before this college baseball season, now it's every hard hit ball.
