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

[VolsSportsFan]

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?

Let's see...would you rather Tennessee make the College Football Playoff and lose by 40 in the semi-finals.....or win the Liberty Bowl?

Would you rather Tennessee make the NCAAT and lose by 40....or win the NIT?

Personally....I think the answer is pretty obvious which one is better....but hey maybe some people like winning less important things.

Maybe this will wake them up, gotta win out from here.

They have been sleepwalking all day.

they really have, I said earlier something seemed off about them today

 

[TrapVol]

While I don’t think Virginia is a better team, they have one dominant pitcher and they are peaking at the right time. We are deeper and take a 3 game series, but UVA only has to be deep enough to take one game.

 

[PA Vol]

I want nothing more than to win this and say “f*** you” to UVA.

 

[tnvols72]

11 strikeouts ,sad

 

[Switch 625]

Quit looking at strikes!!!

 

[alvinkamara]

It is, but TN had the HUGE advantage of playing within the friendly confines of LNS

doesn't minimize the "big game, high pressure" context of the game

 

[GoVolunteers]

Virginia has had great pitching all year

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the look in our guy’s faces seem so lost and dejected. We just look overwhelmed by the moment which i didn’t see coming.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Well so much for getting to their bullpen

 

[Jravol78]

****

 

[TheBigOne10]

Ball game. Hate to say it.

 

[Aerie Vol]

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

You're wrong.

 

[GhostVol]

D***..... When TN HAS hit the ball it's been RIGHT AT someone

 

[Volstylexx]

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?

yes. Yes they would.

 

[volman128]

You're wrong.

No he’s not. They’re by far the worst team there.

 

[Switch 625]

It is dumb baseball to continue to watch good pitches go right down the middle. It limits you actual chances to put the ball in play.

 

[tnvols72]

It is, but TN had the HUGE advantage of playing within the friendly confines of LNS

Tn won a lot of games away from LNS , they just went in this game with the big head I think

 

[volfan__18]

well statistically speaking, our shot at winning a national title is little to none.

 

[VolMarine1371]

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

i understand that as I have a hard rationing myself.

 

[87&91ALUM]

UVA cruising. Never give up til it’s over. Braves down1-9 to Cards. Rough day for home teams.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Why is this happening? Good grief, I knew UVA had a good shot at winning this game, but not being able to get a run off this team is just embarrassing.

 

[Aerie Vol]

It's baseball. We hit every ball on the nose that inning. Just hitting atom bombs.
Right at'em.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm as optimistic as anyone but I'm also a realist. We are down 5 runs with a goose egg. This is looking like an L. All those stranded runners with nothing to show for it then Virginia catches lightning in a bottle.

I got some errands I can do.
