6 runs in a single inning vs the lowest ERA team in the country (ARK) and their best pitcher (Hagen Smith).

This place would explode talking about how pitching was gonna hold us back if that was the Vols.

And...that's just baseball..

We don't agree on much...but we are in synch when it comes to this game

Vandy and Bama eliminated.

LSU, USCe, UF, ARK, Miss St all headed to loser bracket of their regionals. Will need 3 straight Ws to advance.

Vols, UK, UGA in prime position in their regionals needing only 1 win before losing 2 times to advance.

Edit: A&M wins it in extras 4-2.

I used to really dis Nickelback but as I've gotten older I appreciate them a little more. Flame away

Someone mentioned Primus earlier, but to me they are one of the most impressive technically, fun eclectic band.

I'm going to add one to the bad list I've not seen so far. Spin Doctors

In a field in Manchester, half of my brain still lies melted from a Primus show in 2011, 2012...sometime around there.

ARK and OK both to loser’s bracket after losing to the 3 seeds in their regionals.

They’ll need to win 3 more games without losing to advance to supers.

Arky losing that game like THAT is the perfect representation of the wicked fickle nature of baseball.

With that pitching matchup...Arky probably wins that game 70% of the time...but they don't play 100 times, KSU only has to win that matchup once.

The ND series loss a couple of years ago should have taught a lot of folks that lesson...but it went right over their heads.

Also Macias sucked that night.

But yeah, baseball baseballs.

Also, Arkansas losing was a beautiful thing. 😂 Suck it, pigs.

I saw them at Bonnaroo many years ago. Thanks to the psychedelics I took that night I understood Every Single Word of "Tommy the Cat" for the first and only time in my entire life..... My favorite song of theirs by the way.

They literally think that stat means nothing...they are that ignorant.

These baseball dummies do not really understand the game, and our insane success the last few seasons having been pretty much all the baseball they have really ever seen much of...it has given them extremely disjointed perceptions of baseball reality.

Really, I don't see how people can fail to grasp what you and @MarcoVol and the old hands in the baseball forum and others are saying. It's not that hard to understand. I am fairly newb-ish but if you can tell who knows what they are talking about, and listen to those accounts and think them through, it seems like it pretty much has to be that way. I heard this so many times in '22 that I was really sad but freaked out less than almost anyone when we lost our shot at the CWS. Nor did I freak out when we got off to such an unexpected bad start last year, or when we came on strong late and topped the peak of the better '22 team.

It all makes sense.

Watching the game on DVR, had to work tonight. I really respect Indiana's coach, seems like a good guy.

Absolutely, two of THE worst most overrated bands in history. Nirvana had one song unplugged. 'Man who sold the world' Was great, but was a cover. Foo Fighters suck ass.

Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Blind Melon...

Are you saying you don’t like any of these bands? Or, just not Nirvana and Foo Fighters?
