As we just played Arky two weeks ago and the Scout for that remains valid I didn't really see the point of doing another Arky Scout.

So...my bags are packed and the BBQ joints researched. Only really one thing left to ponder.

What happens if we beat Arkansas? None of the pundits are giving us a chance even though we won game one of the series with these same pitchers going head to head just two weeks ago. In fact, because one game was cancelled, it's the rubber match.

CDS said we will do everything to win the single elimination game. I would expect that means Cox, Kyle Serrano and Andrew Lee...if we don't have to use either Serrano or Lee, that would be huge, but for the sake of the post, we use all three. Cox makes it 6 innings, Kyle goes 2 and Lee closes.

Here's what is left for the match up with UF, 24 hours later, in order of most IP in SEC games this season...Remember we don't have Martin or Westphal...

Marks, 52.2
Owenby, 46
Kane, 15.2
Lennstohm 6.1
Warren, 2.1
Soto, 2
Robinson, 1

Obviously KS and Lee could be called on again if their pitch counts stay down...but that's it and one has to assume Owenby starts...not a plethora of options.

Maybe Reid and Freeman are on the travel roster, but neither have pitched in an SEC game this season.

How would you manage the pitching situation if you were the coach under the assumption we some how beat Arky?

Sounds like a plan. You have the BBQ joint picked out?

Check out saws bbq in Birmingham if u get a chance it's in Avondale to be exact... It's a hole in the wall maybe 4 tables in the whole place... But worth it

Saws was on the top of the list, only if we win though...Due to where I'm staying and the proximity of them, I plan on trying both Jim n Nicks and the Legends joint...there are several others and a couple hot dog joints I'd like to hit, just depends on how the Vols do...

Hey V4L3, how far is Avondale from the Galleria area?

My other goal, in addition to eating pig and beating the pigs is to find Kendall Rodgers, bribe him with a beer, and get a pic of him wearing something "Tennessee"...

Lol that's good 66.

I expect us to win tomorrow and maybe 1 or 2 more until our pitching staff depth catches up with us.

However I am not willing to forget all that went wrong to put us in this spot.

Enjoy Hoover wish I could go!!!

Of the two of us, you are actually more optimistic than I. I'm not forgetting we're the last team in, just gonna enjoy what's left, for however long it lasts. Wish you could go as well Bruin, I'll toss back one in yer honor.

Anything can happen in just one game. If it turns into a game where we have to use more pitchers, that certainly favors Arkansas.

I am going to be there also! Mainly cause of you Vol66 keeping me tuned in all year! Thanks! Enjoy the BBQ! Nothing to lose! We just saw Killian. Hopefully we catch a break or two today. Could be big upset!

Go Vols!
