Abernathy gonna give Backus a reaaaaaal run for his money I think.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’ll be like Christian Moore never left.

Prob won’t have 30 HR season but will make up for it in the field. And that’s not to say he doesn’t have pop, he obviously does. But Moore is a lot to live up to.

I feel like Jay will be in the outfield this year but take a middle infield spot the next season

I wonder what attendance was like for these Tennessee fall exhibition games before Vitello came to town?

Scrimmages against other schools is a fairly new event. There’s a chance that it started after CTV came to Tennessee, but I’m not sure.
