The Official #3 Tennessee vs Virginia College World Series Game 1 Thread (SUNDAY AT 2PM EST)

[LakeMaryFLVol]

9 outs to go . A lot in baseball. Need 2-3 runs this inning right back in it

 

[BreatheUT]

Pitiful performance. Virginia comes into this series as probably the worst team still alive. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

If pissant UVA can put up a 4-run inning against the #2 team in America, why can’t Tennessee do some damage here? It’s a tall order, but this team has shown grit in the past and I want to see it at least one more time.

 

[orange_glory]

Let's get 2 an inning

 

[VolMarine1371]

I didn't think we would either but was afraid this might happen. First trip to Omaha in years....

Pressure gettin' to 'em.

That said.... There's still 3 more shots at this.

Maybe LSU won’t go after our coach now!

 

[Titan05]

Ortiz DPs only things keep this from being a runaway.

 

[vol66]

StreeeetchhhhhhhPeeeeeeeeeeBeeeeeeeer!!!!

Legoooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Its unbelievable that some of you consider yourself fans of this team

 

[volman128]

Which leads to the question...is it worse to get to this point and not succeed, or to not get to this point at all?

I’d rather go 2 and Q in the WS or lose by 20 in a national semifinal than lose in a SR or Elite 8.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Got any to share?

You must not know the game well. Junkies rarely have any, and when they do there ain’t no sharing.. just stealing

 

[Zues1]

Goodness, you guys are like teen girls with all the drama.
Woah is me, the lights are too big. It's a Tennessee thing.
How about we give Abbott some credit. That kid was lights out on the bump today.

 

[golfballs]

Where is the lie, though?

Do you know how many teams lose in the post season? All of them except one. And in baseball even all of them could

 

[TennVols12]

Where is the lie, though?

It counted in the regional, it counted in the super regional. They were good both times.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Tennessee sports in a nut shell. Good until it counts. Basketball first now the baseball team good lord

Vol baseball wasn't even making the SECT hardly before TV, and gets us back to the CWS. If we got the Final Four and got blown out, would you complain considering we've never been to one?

 

[tnvols72]

Damnit Pav, you’ve gotta throw strikes son

Pav is just lucky to get it there and not throw it away

Perennial basketball board question as well.

 

[rocketskates]

Sorry guys I’m admittedly not super knowledgeable on CWS. So if we lose it’s still double elimination but do you have to “dig” your way out of the losers bracket? Like what is the benefit on being in the winners bracket? Thanks in advance for your patience.

 

[peerless98]

Lack of clutch hits with RISP and refusing to play any small ball has been the difference.

This post has jack to do with the original point that was made.

There are seven great teams in Omaha … and Virginia.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Need a couple this inning. Dont give up.

 

[PA Vol]

Should be a series. This isn’t the better team.

Just blowing their load in the first game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I told myself getting to Omaha was the real prize. No matter what happens it’s an incredible season. It just still sucks to watch us get our asses kicked though. Especially to the worst team left in the bracket.

 

[BreatheUT]

A lot could happen in this game but it appears it’s not our day. If we lose, we have to regroup and get ready for Texas or state. I have zero doubts that this team could win 2 in a row, coming out of the losers bracket against any of these teams.
GBO!!

I'm starting to think we need to look on the bright side that there is another game.

Oh I’m thrilled with our season this year even if we get knocked out. I’m just saying we always lose when the big stage pulls up

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Maybe the UVA highlight package there is the kiss of death

 

[tnvols72]

I have never seen a team who watches more strikes than this team
