Four-Sport Sweep of Vandy

[VFL-82-JP]

Just read this over at Sports Illustrated.

With our 3 games-to-0 sweep of Vandy this weekend in baseball, the Volunteers have now swept the Commodores in all four of the major sports in a single academic year: football, men's basketball (2 games to 0), women's basketball (also 2 to 0), and now baseball.

This is the first time in history that has ever happened. For either program.

Vols...gettin' it done.

Go Big Orange!

not chess, it is bowling.

not chess, it is bowling.

Bowling, chess, underwater polo what’s it matter. They need to stick to what they know pocket protectors.

If Vandy ever pulls that off, a complete and thorough housecleaning is needed in Knoxville

Very surprised this is a first. Impressive that Vandy has found a way to compete as well as they have over the years.

Let's wait till we get a sweep over Ga,Bammer, or Florida... then we will be gettin' it done.

What’s even more impressive about the baseball sweep it was at their place. First time Vanderbilt has been swept at home since 2012 which was against Oregon. And the first time an SEC team has swept them at home since 2009.

UT baseball team is ON FIRE this year.

Well.., I guess we have to call it Mississippi, uh, Tennessee Burning.

Wasn't Tennessee responsible for that as well?

Sure, Vandy is a lesser opponent. Sure, they're just our in-state little brother. Sure, it would be more momentous if we swept Bama, Georgia, or Florida (though sweeping Vandy in baseball is a little bit like sweeping Kentucky in basketball, or Bama in football; they've been very good in recent years).

I get all that. You're right.

But as an indicator of the direction of our athletic program, this is still huge. Any time your teams collectively do something that has never before in history been done, that's an indicator. Even against a lesser foe, it is a clear road mark that we're heading in a good direction.

So let's celebrate progress, and the fact that we're rising.

Go Vols!

and we likely get a 4 sport sweep against Missouri this weekend.

 

[GenRRN]

Did we hit a three sport sweep in '09? (all but basketball)

1.it’s not easy to sweep a 3 game series in Baseball. 2. Vandy has always been respectable in mens BB.

They can have underwater basket weaving for all I care.

I wonder how many other SEC teams we’ve ever done this to. Kentucky would be tough because you’d have to win at Rupp, but maybe during one of the years we were able to pull off a win there? Maybe Alabama when we had the streak over them in football? Or Georgia in the 90s? Ole Miss back when we played them in football every year?

i hope their skulls drag for 15 years like ours has...

But they typically suck in the other 3 sports. They only got us in football.
