[THEONLYTENISEE]

Has a home series with Gonzaga been confirmed?

[TN_gal]

Aggies, LSU (away), Florida, Arkansas (away), Vandy, State is a brutal stretch. But then again, it's SEC baseball.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

just waiting on that full schedule now
I'll update as it comes in. about to update the SEC schedule and try to fill in the blanks as the full releases.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Starting the SEC 3-0 would be huge.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s a brutal schedule, but luckily only 2 of those road series are what I would call difficult. Our home schedule is very favorable in the sense that we play most of our tough series at home.

I think the harder schedule will help come post season.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Any word on the full schedule?

Not yet, seems like it's delayed compared to previous years.

I think with the delay, there’s a good chance of tougher non conference games.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Also, I expect there to be a game at the minor league stadium.

 

[preacherman20]

I'm guessing they are having a hard time finding teams that are willing to play them. I don't think non conference will be much tougher, especially early. They have to figure out who is going to be the starters and you don't want to have to do or die every game while you are figuring that out. Plus conference schedule is tougher so you want to switch off some wins. I'm just thinking that a lot of teams do not want to play last years #1 team for most of the season. Especially at LNS and don't think other than Arizona we will go anywhere else to play.. Except maybe Smokies again.

Gonzaga and the tournament in Arizona are 2 of the 4 non conference series. What quality do you think the other 2 series will be? You think we play Georgia Southern again?

Under past coaching staffs, we would play a few mid week games on the road. It’s pretty rare now with Vitello to travel mid week. Is this due to field conditions? Or would smaller teams prefer the guaranteed money and come to Knoxville?

 

[preacherman20]

Because the atmosphere at many of these are horrible. Why would you go through hassle of road trips during the week when you don’t have to? Western Carolina was a nightmare 2 years ago from every aspect. So was UNC Charlotte

Was it their field conditions or just the travel?

 

[preacherman20]

Field conditions. 30 total fans. Horrible umpires. Mountain roads.

Any inside info on a possible full schedule release date? I see quite a few teams outside of The SEC have already dropped their full schedules.

Arizona State is the only 2023 schedule I was able to find. They play Mississippi State.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

FSU has released their schedule.

You think it’s the midweek games or non conference series?

Any other teams announced in the MLB4 tournament in Arizona?

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

LSU didn’t schedule very competitive non conference games.
