The Official Northern Kentucky @ Tennessee Knoxville Regional Game Thread (Fri. May 31 7PM EST SEC Network)

Wes Rucker did the math and there are three Tennessee players who have walk up songs that use a guitar at all.

Burke, a country song
Reese chapman, your love
And Aaron Combs, Blind by Korn.

It kills me that rock music is that ****ing dead man. I know I’m younger but I was raised on hair metal and grunge lol
I meant to come back to this a few days ago, but life happened. Rucker needs to hang up his abacus, because his math ain't mathing. There is a lot of hip-hop/rap in the walk-ups, for sure, but we've also got some Johnny Cash (Bargo), Rush (Chuck Taylor), Red Rider (D-Loy), Chris Stapleton (Beam), AC/DC (Snead), Black Sabbath (Behnke), RHCP (AJ Russell), and who can forget Kirby's walk-up? Walk-ups are one of my favorite parts of baseball. Here's a link to my playlist of this year's songs if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77VaFaAcgALnKJrBejRNcz?si=ixwO6vY3Qa2PDXSBI52diA&pi=u-e9CHtpiUQ_mW (I have all 3 that Peebles has used this year but don't yet have the new one Ariel debuted in Hoover last weekend). I only ask that you don't listen to it while you're on your way to a game, because I did that driving to Auburn and we lost the first game. :rolleyes: ETA: also don't listen to it around kids, because the words to some of these songs will make a drunk sailor blush.

My one complaint about the Stache Talk podcasts is that no one would ever sing his walk-up when Kirby asked. I offered to be Kirby's guest for a special walk-up episode where we could sing, discuss, and be general idiots about walk-up songs, but for some reason he's never taken me up on that. 😜

yep,

You may see me in the garage in my Tacoma working away on the laptop to "sale" that I am working to the boss.

since it's the last day of the month. I will really need to sell it.
we are at Bucees in Richmond, Ky as we speak…if I see you in the Frye jersey I will come say hi at that early game

Im youngish (35) but messed my back up about 4 months ago. Thought it would get better, like it normally does, but it hasn’t. Had an MRI, seeing the doctor this coming Tuesday to see what’s wrong and how to get back to normal. If not for that we’d be going and standing for sure. Thank you though!
35 is too young to have a messed up body. I pray you get some relief soon.
 
OK, that makes sense. Seems like they could find somewhere on campus though. The next two weekends are the very best college sports has to offer.
I’ve always thought it would be cool to have it in TBA. Other sports teams do something like this.

A friendly reminder about hosting an NCAA regional- it’s not the same as hosting an SEC team during the regular season. It’s like UT is turning over the keys to LNS to the NCAA. The NCAA is going to do things their own way, and it probably won’t be 100% the same. For example, you’ll hear NKU’s fight song if they score. I don’t recall if they have started using the same regular season walk-up songs for the players, but if they do, you’ll hear them for both teams.

Ah, the NCAA video ads are SOOOOOOOO Bad.

The between inning scoreboard games.

The organization sucks and seems their main goal is to annoy all fans equally.

I still love a good rock song but, I'll always be on the outlaw side of the music/genres. If you like Outlaw Country, try out my friend Dallas Moore...Raising Hell and Slinging Gravel! Now that is a walk up song. His new album has 21 on it and that works for me. . I saw Skynyrd in Knoxville before their plane crashed and if I had a walk up song it would be Gimme Back My Bullets....
 
Prepping the brisket and Green Egg for a throw down about 6 PM CT on the back deck. Just mounted a 65" OLED Samsung for the game. Tennessee flag is flying, lucky everything I can wear, Jack and Jim chilling, hoping this gonna be a blow out game like all the rest of the tourney....rock on Vols!
 
Is there a thread for other regional games.?
Currently watching west end boys and chanticlers.

Will the roosters walk away proud?
