Neyland was lit up for him and some other recruits I bet.

Eek

At least one of their players must be questioning their decision to transfer there. Hopefully the check made it worth it.

4th in ERA...and IIRC separated from 1st by .07 which basically means that over the whole season we gave up maybe 2-3 more earned runs than Arky ....SO...pretty much as big of a strength of the team that a strength of a team can get.


To make this easier for your football tuned brain...if our football offense is top 5 and our defense is top 5...we wouldn't say that ourdefense was a/the weak link would we?

Also. . . if our offense and defense were both top5. . . yes, yes we would say the defense is the weak link and try to fire everyone,

And...that's just baseball..

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

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.

Exactly. It is considered quite the accomplishment when an MLB team gets 100 or more wins in a season. However, that means that they lost roughly 1/3 of their games over the course of the year. Some of those were undoubtedly to teams considered not as good as them. Baseball isn't football but some folks love to think it should be.

Man… I’d kill to have seen those guys play.

BTW I could not imagine playing in those all wool unis. Must have been 200 degrees in those things on a warm summer day.

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

I know I’ll get dragged for this and we are a GREAT team but I do worry some about pitching if we’re gonna win the whole thing.

Every baseball fan everywhere worries if they have enough pitching.

Exactly. Antigua is not out there a lot and he and Moore miscommunicated. Still should not happen, but no harm, no foul this time.

A preacher is driving along a country road when the police pull him over. They smell alcohol on his breath. "Have you been drinking?" "Just water," says the preacher .The cop replies: "Then why do I smell wine? "The preacher says: "Good Lord He's done it again!"

oh no, the Reynolds Tobacco check wont bounce.

Collective Soul was really good.

I saw them at the Tennessee Theater. Really good show.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Good morning winners.

Who is that band weezer said he loves? Nelson?

Just spitballin' here, but I would guess it's Weezer.

Can’t hide money

Dude I took my Dad to a season game, not playoffs. I'm blessed: but its earned.

There are horrible songs that get popular in every decade. For my money, there has never been anything quite as bad as Hoobastank's one hit, the Reason.

LOL, I love that song.

Admittedly, I am most likely in the minority. I also like Creed. @ me if you want.

Primus Sucks!!!

Les Claypool is very creative, and extremely talented. Blows Nirvana out of the water.

Surely Tennessee’s WRs will be split out this wide.

So we now know what Indiana's strengths and weaknesses are, what about Southern Miss? I have no idea where they could present us problems, but remember the series last year...
