The Official Arkansas @ Tennessee Fayetteville Super Regional Game 2 (Sun. June 8th 3PM EDT) (ESPN)

[vol66]

All I'll say is this: he goes in the Kiffin category if he bolts for that job. You don't get to preach loyalty and then pull that horseshit

One won a natty the other literally just left in the middle of the night. Different situation imo.

 

[Christian Lowe]

So the years at TCU and Mizzou don't count as a "start"? And I highly doubt our fanbase will see it that way

I don't think anyone can hate him regardless of what he does because he IS Tennessee baseball.

That'd arguably be the worst part of him leaving.. former players would follow him wherever he goes regardless of being Tennessee alums. I'm sure they value being Tony's players more than being Tennessee players.

Disappointing end to the season.

Whaddaya do but watch last years World Series Final?

Tony will always be loyal to TN because we were the spot that gave him his first HC gig. He has talked about how thankful he is for UT giving him his first shot. I think he’s more loyal to DVH than anything Arkansas related.

Not sure why we do this every year, about him possibly leaving somewhere (not picking at you). MSU, A&M (we know they offered), LSU and Texas have all been open in his time here and he hasn’t left

I was the first to freak out over LSU.. Been pretty adamant since he said no to that job that only Arkansas and maybe Texas (purely financial reasons there) could poach him.

Because he hasn't talked about "missing" people at the Missy State or A&M jobs

I look at like this. Tony took a team that was on life support and in 7 years won it all when no one else could .He continues to bring in the talent. I expect he'll keep the Vols in the mix for years to come I'll give him a few Mulligan's. Van Horn been there 23 years, no title.

So Van Horn has zero titles in over two decades of trying, while Tennessee is in the middle of a historic college baseball run.
We are completing the renovation of the Lindsey Nelson / Vitello Palace.
In what world is Arkansas baseball ahead of Tennessee ?

Texas will have Schloss so long as Del Conte is their AD... he and Schloss are swinging buddies... Arky is pretty much "The Last Temptation of Christ", Tony V version

If we're being honest, their stadium is light years ahead of ours even when our renovations are complete

My Texas fear mongering was when Pierce was still there, 2022-23 ish lmao

He’s been at TN twice as long as he was at Arkansas

Won’t disagree with that. I said the same thing tonight, that riot would be worse than Kiffin’s night.

I'm just glad you didn't ask how I knew that stuff about Schloss and the Texas AD

 

[vol_smoothie]

full stadium seating in the outfield areas ?If we're being honest, their stadium is light years ahead of ours even when our renovations are complete

I'm curious about what our place will look like next season. Is the difference basically capacity with their stadium seating in the outfield areas ?
I wonder during regular season games (even SEC series) if they fill up all those seats ?
Arkansas historically (back to the 50's & 60's) is a football school. When did the state become baseball crazy ?

Anyone who follows closely can put two and two together there

When DVH started winning 20 years ago.

Our Stadium will be 7500 or so capacity. All they're doing now is press box and luxury seats iirc

I did some undercover snooping on a couple of the Texas subscription sites (247 and Rivals)... the stuff I found out from those people was a wee bit disturbing

was it that they and their wives are swingers together or something else LMAO

Pretty much that... some folks gave some graphic details that I won't mention here

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

Is CTV 2-13 against Van Horn?

 

[txbo]

What a pleasure to be able to watch our BaseVols on the 2nd Sunday in June.
We are blessed.

 

[vol66]

Think so.

 

[VOLLeeann]

If Vitello leaves for [anywhere], there is something seriously and fundamentally wrong with our baseball program.

 

[vol66]

He. Ain’t. Leaving.

 

[Gandalf]

It was a disappointing result but I suppose hosting and winning a regional in your championship defense is actually quite rare. And making a Super Regional while losing to who I presume is the remaining favorite is a pretty good result given how we played in April and May.

Farewell to Hunter Endsley who has two of the all time Tennessee baseball plays to his credit. Hopefully next year they can make it to Omaha.

I think only 5 or 6 teams in all of college baseball have ever gotten to a super regional after winning the CWS. Thats inclusive of those who won back to back.
