When they get a big hit they kneel down on the base and celebrate by at best breaking an egg on their face and at worst making a strong sexual innuendo but that’s totally normal behavior.

They incessantly talk ****, very loudly, the entire game but that’s totally normal behavior.

My guy yacks a bomb and immediately grabs/inspects the bat.

The head coach is mockingly saying we have forged transcripts and 35 year old dudes named Mike Honcho mashing dingers while sitting in the dugout for a live television mid game interview but that’s totally normal behavior.

I don’t have a problem with anything they are doing. In fact, I love it. It motivates them to play better. But they are certainly not acting totally normal and they are not hated simply because they are winning.

Celebrations on bases after hits and s**t talking isn't normal behavior? Interesting. College baseball players are some of the biggest s**t talkers that exist.

The most unusual (and funny) thing was TV's comment about Mike Honcho. It was also in response to something another team did, and comments/general feelings from other programs about Tennessee using illegal bats, without evidence. Most coaches though, in that situation, wouldn't show that frustration in a live TV interview, so I'd agree with that one.

They are hated mostly because they are winning. All this stuff they do leads to ridicule, not dislike, if they weren't winning.

Lol we are acting like late 80’s Miami Hurricanes. Not normal.

Had a real tough draft last night and ended up with this. I feel good about it, as long as injuries don't get me.

If you’re gonna talk the talk, you better walk the walk and these boys are doing plenty of both. Vandy and Ole Miss are more established as baseball programs and UT has kinda crashed their party and doing it in record style. I know very little about college baseball history, but this team could go down as an all-time great. It’s like playing MLB: The Show on easy and winning every game 15-0 while pitching a no hitter. They’re just obliterating the weaker competition while merely dominating the better competition.

That's my concern - there's no way they keep this pace up, and it is incredible bulletin board material. There are already people saying things like "Look at the schedule - they should win every other game they play!" It's baseball, lol.

Having said that, what they've done so far has to be the most dominant run of play by any UT athletic team in many, many years. They aren't simply winning a lot of games...a lot of games they are winning are non-competitive and against highly-ranked opponents on the road. The one(!) loss was to a current top 10 team at a neutral site.

I hate when teams use gimmicks to celebrate turnovers in football, like the stupid trash can or turnover chain.

But I’m okay with the boys donning a fuzzy leopard pimp coat, a pink daddy hat after a homer.

Since it’s UT doing it I am loving it. But if it was Uga or someone else I would despise it.
