The Official Texas A&M @ #1 Tennessee National Championship Game 3 Thread (Mon. June 24 7PM EST) (ESPN)

[Proud Army Wife]

Vols will win by 7+ runs tomorrow. They’ll jump on A&M early, an often. I’d personally rather see an extra inning win for the Vols, just bc I’m selfish and want to see a great game 3, but that’s not going to happen. Vols big tomorrow!

What makes you feel this way?

For some reason, I just knew he'd have a stache, too. Kinda bummed.

Will we be home team? Or is this a coin flip deal?

Not sure if the thread title is reflecting the official setup or not.

Home team

 

[NO SIR EEE]

It’s correct. Tennessee was designated as home team for games 1 and 3

Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

And hopefully we mash them without stress tomorrow night.

Tuesday might be a long day too.

This game feels like it could be a war.

Tennessee trying to become the first number one seed to win the College World Series trophy since Miami did it in 1999.

Yey we know. Announcers bring it up every 20 min.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Our whole bullpen should be available tomorrow? Right or wrong?

Every pitcher on staff is available, its the last game of the championship series

Next he will be sitting with Peyton…he keeps moving up in the world!

A&M fans have to be feeling the same way I felt several years ago during the Lady Vols CWS finals.
Correct me if I’m wrong but looked like they were gonna win game 2 and take the series and I think it was Arizona, came back and then dominated in the third game.

I’m right there with you. I may well be wrong, but I think today was A&M’s best chance to win it. For a while there, it looked like this game was a continuation of yesterday. I kept thinking to myself “If we can just get out of this one and get to game three, we’re in business.” Time will tell.

I’d prefer that there not be a bottom of the 9th tomorrow, for my own sanity, but wouldn’t it be poetic if this CWS, which started with three walk-offs, ended with one too?

What makes you feel this way?

Well, mostly bc I think the Vols are a better overall team. But, they’ve seen them twice now (3x lately if you go back to the SEC tourney), and I think the bats will awaken in a big way tomorrow. Also, I can’t stomach the thought of A&M winning a NC in anything, much less a big 3 sport! Honestly, it’s just a gut feeling, and I think y’all are better prepared heading into game 3. I could be wrong of course! This is baseball after all! But I have a good feeling the Vols get it done tomorrow. Especially if they jump on them early.

Fair to say most of the pressure will be on aTm tomorrow night?

No

Texas A&M had their chance to win a National Championship today and could only muster up one single run. They have to feel deflated. They wasted a golden opportunity of holding us scoreless the first 6 innings.

 

[spyfish007]

Fair to say most of the pressure will be on aTm tomorrow night?

It's on both. If anything being the visitor team might put a bit more pressure depending on how the game plays out.

 

[kptvol1]

I like the way you think! Don’t bring the reverse jinx up in here!

Bring Cavput in, STAT!

 

[Sea Ray]

Are we going to be the home team tomorrow?

Yes for the first part.
No to the second part.

 

[TigerMan]

Fair to say most of the pressure will be on aTm tomorrow night?

I was thinking about this earlier. Neither program has ever won a NC in baseball. The Vols have the mythical curse of the #1 seed to (hopefully not) think about. There’s rumors that Schloss is heading to Texass next season. Just a rumor at this point, but if true, could possibly affect the game. I don’t know man! The pressure is likely pretty intense for both teams.

 

[VOLtaism]

TAM made a great effort, as you would expect from an SEC team. It's their ass now! UT 12 - TAM 4

 

[Mccage]

Are we going to be the home team tomorrow?

Seems like I’ve read it 22 times… could be wrong

 

[Sea Ray]

Seems like I’ve read it 22 times… could be wrong

Yes, it’s been answered many times, thanks

Glad we’re the home team

Everyone should go on the SEC Rant forums and just search “Vitello” as a key word.

I don’t think people even hated Saban that much
