So are the voters that bad, or is the tournament not set up for the best team to win?

Baseball is more of a crap shoot than any other sport. Pitching is the greatest equalizer in sports. One bad game in a tournament like this, and your pitching staff is screwed. Most schools only have 2-3 decent pitchers. If the bull-pen is beat up because of a bad start by one of the “good” starters, you’re done. It’s why Vandy has been so good in the past 6-7 years……depth up and down the pitching staff. Not this year…….

That is a bs call. Should have ejected the guy blocking the base line. That would have been fun.

Someone tried to do that to Luc on that famous play where he looped out of the base line and then back to the bag and put a finger down on the bag. As it looked to me, that was what that finger touch was all about.

Edit: I have since discovered that I was wrong about the call because the runner was outside the running lane. Still right about what I saw Luc do!

This might sound strange, but it just dawned on me that not everyone is a lifelong Vols fan. I kinda assumed that, as a kid, you liked them or you grew up with UT fans. I just saw someone mention they became a fan in Sept. 2019.

I grew up just across the river from Neyland. My grandma lived off Martin Mill pk, next to Fleniken elementary. Every football Saturday, we'd climb the hill behind Fleniken and watch for the fireworks after a score.

The old man, who lived on top of the hill, would always have John Ward playing. We'd build dirt jumps in the woods next to his house and ride the trails while the broadcast aired. Whenever we scored, we'd know it. The radio excitment, then hearing "Go Vols" being yelled inside & outside houses having game day bbq's up and down the street, and seeing or hearing the fireworks exploding. . . I was hooked early, as far back as I can remember.

When/why did you become a Vols fan?

I found a lump in my throat when I recalled becoming a VOL fan. 9 years old while dad had it on the radio while driving us kids through the smokies on a sunny crisp fall day. I was hooked being a girl at 9 years old. I still can recall John Ward calling a game and I don’t need YouTube. I hate that our younger fans don’t have that luxury.
