I hate UT fans...

I am 51 years old and have been a UT fan all my life. But some of our fans truly annoy the sh*t out of me. We lost a meaningless midweek game and some of these jock sniffers who probably never played sports a day in their life are throwing tantrums. I don't normally do this, but I'm going to address some of the ridiculous crap I have seen tonight.

1. We shouldn't have played at Smokies Stadium - BS! 8K fans got to see the Vols play. Go ask the players if they enjoyed the environment. Think about the exposure UT baseball got from that game. Teams play games at neutral sites all the time. Vanderbilt recently played Lipscomp at the Sounds stadium in Nashville. It's baseball. Guess what? The rubber is still 60'6" from home plate. Home plate is still 17" wide. The base paths are still 90'.

2. We shouldn't have used wood bats - guess what? Tech played with wood bats too! And a lot of college players play in wood bat summer leagues every year. Wood bats didn't cost us the game. They impacted both teams. There was only one homerun the whole game, and it was hit off the guy who throws over 100mph.

3. We blew our #1 ranking - not likely if we take care of business this weekend. Midweek games are mostly meaningless, and baseball is a long season. Voters know that.

UT was always going to lose some games. They will likely lose more. As easy as they have been making it look, baseball is a hard game. I really wish our fans could just enjoy the incredible season this time is putting together, instead of whining about ridiculous crap. Sorry.

Rant over.

Are you from MT? Seriously, it’s one of my favorite places. Love Bozeman, Yellowstone, and Big Sky.

A lot of these fans see everything through a football lens…where it is possible to go undefeated. They don’t understand that other sports aren’t like that.

And certainly not baseball. Go look at the last several World Series champs. I’m certain you will find that they lost many series (and were in a lot of cases swept) by losing teams during the season.

It’s why the streak is was impressive. It’s hard to bring your A Game when you play so many games.

I find the reactions of many of our fans to losses to be ridiculous, too.

Agreed. I stayed away just because I knew what would appear. Here’s my take on the game. A pitcher was in a groove, throwing remarkably well and our hitters were off.
