[VolPack22]

Stay off social media for the next 24 hours. Gonna be rough.

Glad I don’t have it

 

[give_him 6]

It was such a fun season. Loved watching this team. Hate it we didn’t get back to Omaha, but this was a fun ride. We’ll be back next year.

 

[vol9799]

I’m staying far away from social media for awhile

Signing off. This is one of those days where I will spend most of it trying to stop myself from either wishing or visiting death, dismemberment and destruction on vast portions of humanity. I don't handle losing well and I am self aware.

 

[GoVolunteers]

Has ESPN ever televised such a celebration?

Actually yes. This is routine coverage. And this was huge with a #1 team going down. It hurts but it is what it is.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I never would have thought we would have gotten punked twice in our home stadium.

 

[BigALWiLson]

They still choked, they didn’t even make it to Omaha. Like dude posted, MISS STATE went to the World Series 12 times before winning it. But they got there. We completely choked and conceded.

Yes and Tennessee will be back right here again this time next year.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Since I was supposed to turn off the TV, can you give me an update on how 7-8-9 went? sometimes it takes a casual baseball fan to see the flow of the game the way it is going. Some of you just don't understand it isn't being negavol to see the game slipping away and pointing it out

Bud. I have. Played every sport imaginable. Played ball post high school (small CC college) and coach an A class softball team at this moment and you can see when things are going south. Obviously Coach V is here for a reason but there are college coaches fired every day for not adjusting. (Not saying he should be AT ALL). It just because you call something you see and disagree with what someone says and get labeled is ridiculous.

 

[DC_Vol]

I never would have thought we would have gotten punked twice in our home stadium.

And by a guy named Putz!

 

[vol4eva]

Losses like this are why I can’t get invested in Tenn athletics as I used too.

 

[vol94]

To your point 6-we’ll have the same starting pitching and a better roster next year

Im referring to the entire athletic program. The Vol faithful are starving for a national title.

This team is still special and I love their energy and for bringing a ton of excitement this season. I hate for the players.

 

[VFL1993]

Others are going to laugh at our misery but watch how little people now care about Omaha.

Fact is this team was good for the sport as a whole whether you see them as the villain or not.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yes and Tennessee will be back right here again this time next year.

Maybe. Maybe not. It's way too soon to tell.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Looking forward to next year. The last few years of Tennessee baseball have rekindled my interest in the sport after the mlb strike of 94 wrecked it for me as a kid.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Yes and Tennessee will be back right here again this time next year.

And won’t matter unless they get to Omaha….

 

[TrapVol]

It’s been fun hanging on here with y’all, but I’m gonna go do something to take my mind off of this. This lost hurts bad, but I’m all Vol no matter what!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Has ESPN ever televised such a celebration?

Yes. Come on, don't be a pansy.

 

[Tenacjim]

Sadly I have plenty of Tennessee comparisons across many sports I can think of:

Tennessee vs. Michigan 2022
Tennessee vs. Purdue 2019
Tennessee vs. UNC 2000

Tennessee vs. LSU 2001 SEC Championship

Yes on all. You would think we would be immune to soul crushing disappointing losses by now. At least us old guys and gals.

 

[Timbeau2]

Predition on Vitello post game:

"that's baseball"

"that loss is on me"

blah, blah, blah

What do you want him to say?

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Tip of the cap to the Irish.

 

[lvocd]

Notre Dame deserves so much credit and respect for coming to Knocksville and taking out the #1 team the way they did. Yes, the Vols made some costly errors and the bats weren't stellar today, but ND just had a better overall weekend. Period. Terrible time for our guys to have a bit of a dip, but it happens. It's what makes baseball so much fun AND so often frustrating.

 

[JohnWardForever]

The Curse Of The # 1 Seed Lives On. DAAAAMMMMNNNN. This team was so good too.

 

[Freak]

Losses like this are why I can’t get invested in Tenn athletics as I used too.

Happens to all but one team every year.

 

[Paper_Towel]

This is all on me. I just had to get out of the truck and go into work.

 

[EZE]

Both can be true.

Not in this game. Umps had no part in it.

 

[Freak]

Maybe. Maybe not. It's way too soon to tell.

Not really.
