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

[PA Vol]

You're wrong.

No, he’s right. UVA is garbage. We were gifted so many opportunities to jump out on top and **** to bed before they got hot.

 

[tnvols72]

You're wrong.

no he is not

 

[Hallie]

Well what time does TN play the looser of Miss St and Texas ?

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Just curious, did you watch the pitching from the Columbia super regional?

I did. I was more worried about UVA's #25 (can't remember his name). He impressed me with his pitching and attitude. He was fearless.

 

[tnvols72]

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.

stranded runners from the 1st inning

 

[BreatheUT]

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

Meanwhile they kept hitting weak ducks for singles.

 

[OneVolNation]

Think about what a comeback it could be.

 

[GhostVol]

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

Could be that, too.... I hope that's what it is.

If that's the case this SHOULD wake 'em up

 

[PA Vol]

Just give me a series.

 

[Volstylexx]

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.

Less games played = less pitchers used
Less pitchers used = better arms available
Better arms available = greater likelihood of winning

 

[OJJ]

Yeah. I’ve posted before that I’m from Roanoke, VA and despise UVA and VA Tech. The smartest decision I made if my young life was transferring to UT in 92 and leaving VA.
Go Vols!

Why VT fans absolutely hate UT Idk, I guess jealousy? But they hate us like we are bitter rivals.

I don’t think that was it. I think it’s a mix of nerves and pressure of being there for the first time in a decade and a half.

 

[GetEmVols]

Be

Because coming into this inning you had a 5 hit game and your pitcher had thrown 55 pitches.

They have been hitting on us all game.

 

[tnvols72]

Could be that, too.... I hope that's what it is.

If that's the case this SHOULD wake 'em up

It better wake them up, the good thing is Tn has not lost 2 games in a row all year

 

[kregman]

Too tentative early and everything hit hard right at them just not our day, we are not done yet!

 

[Orange931]

This was the plan all along, to make a miraculous run through the losers bracket.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Virginia won a natty 5 years ago. Their coach had been there 18 years. If y'all think they are an easier out then the trees or the pack, you're crazy.

 

[alvinkamara]

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.

yeah......the football team in the third quarter look........i've seen it before

 

[6-4-3]

Some of you all are 1 star fans...you just don't have what it takes to support a team without bashing or meltdowns...to those I say...take up hiking or gardening...those hobbies are undefeated for me

This

I have faith that they will bounce back

 

[GetEmVols]

Not surprised that vols are the reason I lose this bet. Usually is the reason.

 

[Freak]

If I had to put money on a team that could do that, it would be this one.

 

[Orange931]

If I had to put money on a team that could do that, it would be this one.

Agreed. It’s gonna happen.

 

[travol]

Some of you people are freaking terrible. it wasn’t that long ago that the vols baseball team couldn’t even make it to the SEC tournament. Here they are in Omaha, and one of the eight best teams in the country, and y’all are moaning about getting beat by five runs with three innings still to play. It would be great if they would win the whole thing but I’m pretty dang satisfied with just them getting here in Coach Vitello’s fourth year.

You never bet on your team. That’s like rule #1 on sports betting.
