LSU, Miss State and Ole Miss are profitable

Would have never guessed MS and OM.

 

[VOL931]

I get your point, I don’t entirely disagree. I just think that the crowd edge is missing. Heck, we used to go to games when I was in school at UT and we would be down a ton and it would still be a hostile environment for the visiting team. It’s baseball, you never know what’s going to happen.

Have you seen where the students STAND now? Nowhere to even set a drink. They lost their section to player families. So don't blame the students. And yes I have one there.

 

[Titan05]

Maybe they shouldn't have moved all the students for the players families. Students were basically kicked out of the park.

This is the obvious answer but money talks.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Well if a down year for Coach TV is still a .500 or higher record in sec play then not to shabby

Hopefully tomorrow will be a big turning point for us this season. GBO

 

[TheBigOne10]

We absolutely must win tomorrow and take 1 at Arky at least to have a chance to host a Super

 

[vol66]

Arky is getting beat 12-0 by LSU, B6.

 

[JarFly]

We get the dub tomorrow, winning the series! We sweep the series v Arky with AJ stepping up from here on out, moving to our Saturday starter. Get a top 4 seed in Hoover and then get on our post season roll!

 

[robcovol]

Vols fan in Aggieland. At least I’m not an Aggie (baseball) fan this weekend.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Would have never guessed MS and OM.

OM generated $10 million in revenue for baseball last year. Of course, having a 12,000 seat stadium helps haha; State only generated $5.8 million despite having an even bigger stadium than OM, so I actually have a hard time seeing how they made money last year in baseball.

 

[TigerMan]

Would have never guessed MS and OM.

I think A&M made a 1.8 million profit last year, but that was an anomaly according to their AD. LSU actually did not profit last year, but that also was an anomaly.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Would have never guessed MS and OM.

You didn’t think two schools with 12k stadiums were profitable?

 

[theroyz71]

How long has it been since we went into Sunday with a chance to sweep?

 

[BruisedOrange]

Radio interview with Tony:

We could have made a difference on defense and kept it much closer.
We didn't pinch hit as well as we needed to.
Ensley plays the game the right way, and younger players need to take note of that.
We had two spots in the lineup that we didn't get anything out of.
McElvain looked like a major leaguer out there tonight.
AJ threw the ball as well as he has since coming back.
Probably start Teagan tomorrow.
AJ's work allowed us to have a few fresher arms for tomorrow.

 

[SGMVols]

Would have never guessed MS and OM.

The Mississippis both have huge stadiums that are always full. I’m not surprised they’re in the black.

 

[Orange931]

Sakerlina, end of March, if I'm reading the schedule right

I think the Dude might actually hold 15k

 

[BruisedOrange]

...and this forecast has not changed through today. Scattered thunderstorms (50%) around 5pm and 6pm.
I'd hate to see an early start further diminish the crowd, but hopefully we have more Pentecostals than Presbyterians among the season ticket demographic.

"Warm 'em up, Preacher!"

 

[Bigvalley84]

You can’t give up 10 runs and win very many league games , I know we’ve done it some in the past but this team just doesn’t have the offense , when we aren’t drawing walks and turning over our lineup to get 5 or 6 at bats we struggle , 6 runs should be enough to win most times , AJ looked pretty good

 

[Drewbydoo]

It looks like it will rain.

 

[VOL931]

Hearing their fans chant in our stadium makes me sick

Should make the team sick. Guess they don't care from the final score.

Rained a lot in the ATL today and that same system is headed to Knoxville. Hopefully it breaks up as the system moves north.

 

[VOL931]

It is raining in middle TN. Of course it rains here ALL THE TIME.

 

[CAVPUT]

We won't host a super if we get to one. And honestly, this team looks better on the road. I'm fine with getting out of LNS. It's just not the same these days.
