The official Tennessee vs Arkansas SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THREAD 3PM ESPN2

[NO SIR EEE]

NOTABLE
VOLS TO THE SHIP: First time since 1995, Tennessee will play in the SEC Tournament championship game. This marks the first time in the tournament's current format that the Vols have reached the final. UT won three consecutive tournament titles from 1993-95 when the eastern and western divisions had separate tournaments.

SUPER START FROM SEWELL: Junior right hander Camden Sewell had the best start of his Tennessee career on Saturday, tying a career high with six innings pitched while setting a new career best with six strikeouts. The Cleveland, Tennessee, native allowed just two hits and did not issue a single walk in his six shutout frames.

YOU GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT: After recording just one shutout all year long, the Vols have posted back-to-back shutouts to advance to Sunday's title game. Tennessee had recorded just two shutout wins during its entire SEC Tournament history prior to this week. Coincidentally enough, the last two shutouts prior to this week occurred in consecutive games during the 1995 tournament (8-0 vs. South Carolina & 11-0 vs. Georgia).

[TheMookieMonster]

I weirdly feel good about today. Maybe I will regret saying that at 3:00 PM EST, but for some reason I just feel good about this game.

Let's win a championship....

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

[NorCalVol67]

Auck Farky!

 

[ATLVols]

Driving from Atlanta to the game now! Will be loud with our group of 8. Go Vols!

 

[AthensVol2007]

Heflin on the mound today, unless something has changed. I’m a little surprised but trust the coaches and happy for him to have the opportunity as a SR. If he can give us the same outing as he did on May 15th I feel really good.

 

[MagnoliaVol]

Bring it home, Guys!!! GB️

He's young and strong. They used to pitch on 3 days rest in the big leagues for an entire season when they had four man rotations. He'll be fine.

 

[volz2wallz]

Well unless something changes CV said his rotation for regionals was dallas game 1 tidwell game 2...

 

[Gilbert]

I could see it being Heflin to start today. He threw 59 pitches Wednesday. He would also pitch next Sunday at the earliest, which would be full rest.

From his mouth yesterday, it’s him; unless something has changed or that was smoke and mirrors.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I believe. Come on boys!!

Vols walk it off when Kopps trips over the mound, fumbles the pitch, and Spence steals home

 

[TN_gal]

I'm excited for today! Our guys are excited to play another game, and I think they've found their groove at the Hoover Met.

Let's go win an SEC Championship!

Best two teams in the nation facing off for a title. This is what it's all about. Go Vols.

 

[Braemar_Vol]

GBO !!!

 

[NighthawkVol]

Any idea who Arkansas is throwing?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

A reminder .... Today's SEC Championship Game will be on ........ Espn 2 ...... Not the SEC Network.

This game will be shown, by a major TV network, all around the USA for America to see YOUR TN VOLS.

 

[peerless98]

Hopefully Heflin can Will us to a win. If he can go 5 or 6 successful innings, our relievers can close it out.
