The team was running on fumes for the past month. They simply didn’t have the depth to overcome injuries to key hitters. They had no one you had to pitch around except Bradfield, and that ain’t gonna cut it at the highest level. They were lucky to make it as far as they did. Even Corbin said as...

Congrats on a great season! Looking forward to many more. Better team won the Series, more titles for the SEC.

Look, I’m just a guy. You don’t like me because I happen to cheer for another school. So what? Why be condescending just because you can be? I’m not trying to pick a fight with you. So why pick a fight with me? If you don’t want to converse with me, then don’t! You can simply ignore me or even...

Every school/team agrees to accept total responsibility for the health of their traveling group. Every group member has agreed to their personal responsibility to be forthcoming about their health situation. Avett himself said the team had several players “fighting a bug” —that bug, it turned...

First, the number of issues related to myocarditis is so small that it is trivial from a clinical trials outcomes standpoint. But that’s not the point. I agree every person has the right to not get vaccinated. That is their choice. But if you make that choice and know what could happen if you...

If the publisher wishes to cancel my account because I am not a Tennessee fan, he/she can do that. It’s their site.

You miss my point entirely. I’m not arguing for the medical value of testing players at this point. I believe there is virtually none. As do you. Calling me names is not only juvenile, it’s not even accurate. As I have stated many times: I do not agree with the whole testing protocol for the...

I don’t have a subscription. It’s a wholly paid baseball community.

Vandymania is a joke. VandySports.com is a terrific site. I no longer wish to be involved in that community due to the divide between people who can and cannot have honest discussions about the abhorrent state of the VU athletics department.

I have come here for years from time to time. State fans are incapable of having reasonable conversations with rival fans.

Very likely because State had a disproportionately large number of unvaccinated people in their traveling party. Vandy had none. Everyone knew what would happen if you tested positive in Omaha. Everyone. How dumb do you have to be to be traveling to the CWS and choose to not get vaccinated?

“Guarantee.” Sure. It’s baseball. The #1 team all year didn’t even get out of its own regional. The teams that make Omaha have all earned it, including Tennessee. No one has been given anything.

How did Vandy ruin the College World Series? They play the games presented to them. They had nothing whatsoever to do with the fiasco around NC State and the NCAA.

FWIW I believe they were. Not sure though, as all vandy players are fully vaccinated.

It’s a joke. It’s all politics and CYA.
