Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[chuckiepoo]

FYI - Attendance for TN Baseball this past season was 210,618 whereas Lady Vols Basketball (2024-2025 season) was 181,002. That's about a 15% difference. TN Women's Basketball (2023-2024 Fiscal Year) lost a cool 7 million clams.....AI reports that for the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year TN Baseball did not have an operating loss.

More money should go to TN Baseball - Tony is a generational coach who proved who can actually win championships!

Talk dirty to me Patrick! …

If he's truly gone, why wait 2 days to announce it?

Exactly this is not true. He would not be conducted fall practice and scrimmages at all today. I think some just want him gone.

Are they letting people behind home plate in the construction zone? I haven't seen anyone sitting there (but admittedly haven't been to a ton of practices, either). Maybe scouts in hardhats should be a thing.

Carry a notebook and something that looks like a radar gun and they’ll let you in

The area in your pic just got the roof finished so media likely moved over there from 4 Tops or LF porch to stay dry

Key word “eventually”.

If the AD is making hand over fist money and football is doing well he's not going anywhere.

You posted the trigger word."fired".

There are still some on the last porch (towards center) for sure. And apparently JD and Cal are in the house. I feel like JD is doing the Lord's work here.

RGW news is @chuckiepoo ’s favorite.

They don't want him gone. They just want to be right after they all fell for the media when the media was announcing Vitello gone and Vitello this and Vitello that.

FFS. There's lightning and thunder. They're getting weather reports.

It's literally raining there and here come the "make up stuff and roll with it" crowd

I would hope they have a higher total attendance they play 20 more home games than the women's basketball team does

Yes but tickets are $200 to $300 for baseball vs $20 to $30 for LV with a baseball stadium that has 1/3 the capacity. Hard to compare apples to apples obviously as both programs have large upsides.

I’m about to go into a 2:30 - 3:30 work meeting where I won’t have my phone, so I fully expect the news to break during that hour.

Baseball averaged 5400 a game and women's basketball 10700 a game. I think baseball would be on the rise this season although I think the stadium only holds 6200 so we may need to up that if we get to 6200 this season. Also looks like women's basketball is on the rise could top 12000 this season if they play as expected.

The tv deals are what matter

Ha. Not needed. She’s a super fan. They will let her in regardless. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who loves the BaseVols more than @darsinewman

This is not accurate. Or at least not for regular season games. Bought several single game tickets last season for baseball & did not pay anywhere near that.

Last six Tennessee jerseys ive purchased are all baseball …as well as hats…

I have a Gilbert one I may wear to Houston in February Chuck.
