Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orange.]

Simply because we we don't have as "dominant" of a staff as we did 2 years ago....that team was LOADED with big talent and the team ERA was like 2.55 iirc...insane numher for CBB...and which is obviously 1.3 runs a game better than this year..but it is stupid to measure this year's team against a GREAT past staff like that.

This staff..despite what it looks like...still gets it done against the field...and that is a quantifiable fact...they are just barely higher than the #1 team ERA.

And as Marco said, there are only 8-9 teams in all of CBB with and ERA under 4.

We are "Dominant" against the field...and that is what matters and how this staff should be judged.

And that staff in 22...despite all it's talent and that ridiculous ERA..still lost to Notre Dame because...

That's just baseball...ESPECIALLY..college baseball.

I think most Vols fans think this team has a legit chance to go all the way. Admittedly I prolly lead VN in ignore list size and quality, so maybe I miss some idiots.

I know that in the baseball forum the trolls who show up are the same people on repeat and who only post whenever we fall behind and mysteriously disappear if we rally and take over the game. Basically just a-holes.

Love it!

Clearly a hat tip to the Vols. Love where the song ends. We are the model for trolling Bama, as it should be.

Beautiful

LSU answers with 2 in T2.

5-2 Wofford headed B2.

I'd really like to see LSU fail here. Although I admit they are fun to watch.

They’ve tied it up 6-6. But still have to win 2 in a row vs UNC if they win this one

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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,

Well...yeah..

 

[Devo182]

Bologna or baloney?

 

[Orange.]

Bologna or baloney?

Are you in the US or Italy? The local pronunciation is correct in both cases.

 

[Devo182]

Smoker

Instant disqualifier for me.

Now...if she wants to smoke a stogie once a year...say around the 3rd Saturday in October...I'm right there with her

Indiana doesn’t make Southern Miss break a sweat. Surprisingly, southern has only used 4 pitchers so far. They may only use 5 by the end of this game.

Tennessee has used 8 pitchers

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

#no trust funds here

That's exactly what a trust funder would say.


Dear agents,

Please expedite the confiscation of all of Comrade Jack's funds immediately and acquire 5*s until all funds are exhausted.

Thank you.

Used 8 but likely only 3 wouldn’t be available today - Causey, Beam, Behnke

TV did well keeping the pitch counts low.

Vols should ultimately prevail today but I don’t think they’ll cruise like the first 2 games.

 

[Devo182]

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

On the complete opposite end, I'd love to see someone recruit top notch talent and run the triple option against defenses recruited to defend the hyperfast spread teams

Not the real world ofc (top talent isn't going to such extreme offenses) but for that very reason it'd be interesting to see in a video game.

Give us a GiveSendGo link and we’ll help!

We are good, no medical care was needed. Momma is doing very good!

We do have a legit chance...but so does pretty much everybody in this tournament this year.

It hardly ever makes sense.

 

[volbeast33]

I didnt realize era is that big of a metric. Why are some people crying about it so often? Seems like we've been pretty good at it all year.

It’s not a great metric….. there are much better metrics to utilize… Our staff is doing a great job though.

 

[Devo182]

I get that. 100%..............but the IDGAF attitude she has is enticing.

That's the beginning of how she introduces you to the Crazy-Hot Matrix

 

[volinbama256]

S miss sleep walking through this demolishing of Indiana... Hope we are ready! Fans gonna need to show up big time today...

 

[drvenner]

Everything school

 

[SmokinBob]

Whoever said Behnke looks like The Greatest American Hero, nailed it.

Mr Smokin and I shortly after we got married…who do we look like

 

[vols 30]

We broke Indiana.

Just like a Jeremy Pruitt onsides kick

 

[Devo182]

Are all those people there just sitting in the sun, and not moving? I could that, provided 0 social interaction is involved.

Someone described it as passive extroversion, extreme passive extroversion.

No we were floating the French Broad. The river was moving pretty well yesterday.

Unforunately the paddleboarders moved much faster, so we lost the group after the first 90 minutes. But we liked that part too, just coasting at peace by ourselves. It was perfect weather, the sun gave us some reprieve. We stopped off early under the bridge by The Wedge and had some peanuts and drinks. Still got home in time for the game.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I like that...and I hate Millinnials..


Just kidding...I don't hate them all..just most of them..lol

The Wedge ??? The best.
