As of today, 4/24, what is your season-ending expectation?

[Volador]

No NBA championship? Failure of a season.

The NBA SUCKS!! Ever since Willis Reed, there has been no reason to watch 5 men dunk da ball

 

[MAD]

I would be disappointed if UT didn’t make it to Omaha, but certainly realize lots of top 5 teams don’t make it. Postseason Baseball is a grind and one bounce here or there can determine your fate.

I need a shrink to tell me if there's something wrong with me if I enjoy seeing Arkansas and Vanderbilt on this list.

You don’t need a shrink, not for that anyway.

Thanks. I was a little worried.

Accidentally posted postgame videos here. Now posted in the Xavier game day thread.

Thanks!

You’re welcome! Just realized I posted these videos in the wrong thread... Oops. Apologies.

At this point, no expectations. From everything I’ve heard this is the best team in the history of college baseball regardless of what happens in the postseason.

I WANT TO NEVER LOSE AGAIN.

Regular season accolades are pretty useless. Gotta win everything (SEC regular season, SEC Tournament, CWS) to be able to be in the running for that.

Disagree about the SEC tourney, I care nothing about that. But I agree about the others.

 

[Titan05]

To be considered among the best teams in history, gotta win all 3. Might be too lofty of a goal for a program trying to win it all for the first time.

I just don’t think conference tourneys are very relevant if you are a contender.

If the goal is just to win in Omaha, I agree. Someone brought up the best team in history talk and that’s where it does become relevant.

Yeah, State just blew it off entirely last year and won the natty. Makes one wonder why they play it if teams don't care.

Some great teams just can’t stomach losing anything put in front of them, especially tournaments.

I hope we're like that when we get to Omaha.

If I recall correctly, two of Tennessee’s 4 SEC losses that 1994 season was to a terrible Auburn team. Not sure why Vols had so much trouble with the mediocre tigers

series in Knoxville

L 3-6
L 1-3
W 8-4

I believe that was the first season of Friday-Sunday games instead of Saturday double-headers

Also recall it was one of the many ugly April Fools Day losses over several seasons
