We just might end up with 5 RBs with 500 yards rushing in 2023.

P.S. .... Don't forget about 3*** freshman RB Khalifa Keith coming in from Alabama.

:) Dude is a 6'0 & 235 lb train running down hill to the end zone.

Or .... 3 *** TN RB DeSean Bishop at 5'10" & 196 lbs going full speed to the end zone.

Also, idk if anyone noticed but this past season was the best I’ve seen our OL play in a very long time. Probably since the Fulmer years.

Who exactly is in charge of the tournament? I know Arizona is the “host” but is it a third party organization? Very unprofessional to not have a schedule set until a month before the tournament. Didn’t we know the Houston tournament schedule well in advance?

MLB controls this tournament with a lot of input from scouts. There have been a lot of changes with GCU/Michigan St being in, out and back in and Michigan being left out. The whole thing seems like a mess but it should be a fun 3-4 days of baseball. Salt River is a fantastic facility and probably my favorite spring training park.

I’ve heard it is a nice facility. If they are going to schedule this thing like some amateurs the Vols need to just tell them we will host the darn thing in Nashville next year and make all the scheduling arrangements. Can’t trust MLB to make any sound decisions.

So 42 days before the start of the season and the opening weekend tournament.

(1) The MLB 4 goes to 6
(2) The tournament goes from 1 field to 3 or 4
(3) The tournament changes it's name entirely
(4) The tournament adds a second local team
(5) The tournament realizes they accidently invited the wrong Michigan team
(6) The tournament makes the most visible team move around to three different fields including the home field of one of the local schools

I mean, these early season events are everywhere. How did this get so screwy?

Yes. Got tickets for Christmas. But consider the organization. The Shriners have had their act together for a minute.
