I see I wasn’t wrong because Tennessee has won the series Vs the awful Bulldogs because that defeated them 8-2 on a Saturday in Rocky Top.
I expect the Volunteers sweep the hapless Bulldogs on Sunday.

The Huskies continue to be a Top Gun team or Top Dogs because they swept the double header Vs the Bears 6-0, and worse 9-1 because the Bears gave up more runs in the 2nd game of the double header except they achieved the moral victory of avoiding getting shut out again on Saturday.

The Bears are playing for pride in game 4 so them winning the 4th game to avoid a sweep Vs a great Huskies wouldn’t be unrealistic because law of averages, and it’s challenging to sweep a 4 game series even when a great team that has a consistent scoring offense is playing a team that is out of it’s league.

I have NO idea of the things you're posting here. Bears; Huskies; Vols; Bulldogs.
Does this have anything to do w/stuff here on planet Earth? Asking for a friend.

I’m talking about the weekend college baseball series this weekend.

The Washington Huskies baseball team, and the Tennessee Volunteers baseball team both are playing teams that don’t have any realistic chance of competing with them.
It’ll be a different animal when the Washington Huskies and Tennessee Volunteers play conference teams that have realistic chances of defeating them including Vanderbilt and a ranked UCLA team.

I’m very stunned mainly because I watched the great action revenge movie Paparazzi this week which had Sizemore playing an entertaining main antagonist a paparazzi photographer that wants to destroy Bo’s life which has a believable reason provided in the movie for why he has that goal.

Complainers are always gonna complain. You give them a pie and they complain its not cake.

You aren’t wrong.
Some persons look for something to complain about.
I recall people complained not much action in the uncreative Superman Returns sequel which is rehashing past Christopher Reeve Superman movies.

Man of Steel had a high amount of action which had persons complaining the movie has too much action which is a stupid complaint because the movie provided sensible information why the action scenes happened, also the movie had drama, a good heroic protagonist that couldn’t use a perfect solution, an interesting main antagonist with a understandable goal, amazing special effects, etc.

Man of Steel stood out as a unique entertaining great Superman reboot movie set in a realistic world including humans don’t just instantly accept Superman as a heroic champion since humans haven’t seen convincing evidence that an alien with extraordinary powers is a heroic champion.

Another observation: Vols are ranked #2 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Aren’t rival college coaches supposed to be hating Tennessee? Just thought it was interesting.

Not only rival coaches, everybody does.





By the way you can see I voted for Arkansas.

Greetings from LNS! It’s a great day for Tennessee baseball!

I know this is a UT forum but am so excited to watch the ambidextrous MSU starter.

Has anyone kept up with/watched him so far? His stats look good

It’s so hard to properly give weight to the importance of the L/L and R/R matchup as a pitcher.

When I grow up I want to have season tickets just like those.
Looks like a beautiful day and a great crowd, nice photo.

I believe someone posted a tweet about him. Do we play them this year?

For instate opponents, they play UT, Vandy, and Lippy.

 

[nashvillepanther]

His stats are crazy (only through 9IP).

0.00 ERA, .78WHIP, 12K, 3BB, .138 BAVG, 4 hits, 2 HBP, and 1 wild pitch

Something hit me like a freight train last night. Fever, chills, body aches, head ache!
I’ve been lurking a little today.
I’ll need a run down of our comeback though, last I saw it was 2-1 and I fell asleep.

How are you feeling today?

 

[firestorm]

Do tell.

I assume you are being sarcastic because I just gave a spoiler free review of (2013) Man of Steel a super hero summer blockbuster that is very divisive.

It was a great day to be outside. We roasted in the sun, however. I should’ve worn shorts.

Well, at least you weren’t foolish enough to wear a fur coat RBF!

So we can’t even reference Bible verses now

Something tells me said player wasn’t accepting coaching and wasn’t happy about playing time or being called out so they spun this BS to get the coach fired. Hopefully they don’t follow through. It would be pretty sad to fire someone over quoting Bible verses.
