As a program, we have just been struggling with disappointment for a long time.
It hasn't helped that this postseason has been exceptional rough on Vols fans in nearly every sport.
I feel like the athletic program is going in the right direction and perhaps this is the reason we are being let down.
The elephant in the room is football. We have struggled for so long in that sport and it has just cast a shadow over our athletic program. During the SEC discussions about Oklahoma/Texas, it seems like we were second fiddle versus programs like Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and LSU who have had more success for the SEC than we have had as a program.
Our name was once in the Elite. Perhaps Danny White and these excellent coaches we have will get us back to prominence.
Great Job to Vols Baseball team. Rough way to go out and unfortunately the wound reminds me a lot of the Michigan loss in Basketball but let's try to learn and move forward next year. I feel like our breakthrough years in Baseball and Basketball are going to come in seasons where we are very low seed, low attention.
