| | Senior Member | Im happy with the results over the weekend. We played a good team to open the season. Threw alot of pitchers to find out who is good enough to play on the weekends. With Polk coming back and a few changes in the line up, the hitting will be fine. The bullpen looked like sh** on Saturday. Going into the season the bullpen was the worry of the team. |

| | Senior Member | Might be a blessing in disguise. Now we'll add a small conference school to the schedule to make up for this game. Didn't want to see the bullpen again today. |

| Went down to the stadium, and the field looked GREAT...no snow, infield was covered/grated so it was pristine. I'm not sure why the game was cancelled. Would have been a huge series for the Vols to win, and I wish we would have played it today.
Maybe I'm greedy.  |

| | Senior Member | Who was going to be the starting pitcher today? Any chance Ty'Relle Harris moves to a weekend starter or best if he works out of the bullpen on the weekends? |

Maybe I'm greedy.  | Don't get greedy. An opening split against a good non-con like OSU is a good start to the season. |

Usually teams schedule more than what they are allowed, assuming that there will be cancellations for weather. I know that in years past they have added a game because of cancellations, on the other side I remember once (or twice) where they had to cancel a game to stay at the NCAA limit for games played. |

| | Senior Member | Is it a 56 game regular season? If it is, we'll add a game because we play 35 at home and 21 on the road. We've lost 1 of those 35, so if it's a 56 game season, we WILL add a game. |
