Vols vs Commodores

cbg,

What are you talking about? We all know that the SEC east is much weaker than the west!

The Vols had better get the ship righted or else ...... "The tournament field includes the top two teams from the SEC's Eastern and Western Divisions plus four at-large bids based on conference winning percentage."

Bob,

I was just trolling to see if I could get a response. I guess that it worked. What do you think will happen if the Vols fail to make the SEC Tournament again?

im sure the vols are ready for the commies...they just hit the toughest part of their schedule with the last three series...i bet the vols make it to the tourney before vandy does...with or without tharpe

GO Vandy, have to cheer for the home town team ,and home town players.

Vs.

Who will rule the state??? Ray-Bans vs. Recruitinator

HV,

I love it! I expect a very good series. It is huge for both teams. If UT wins, they open some room against Vandy, important as they head to Columbia and host East leading Florida. If Vandy wins, they pull even with UT. I am assuming a series win, not a sweep by either team. A sweep by either would really hurt the loser. The Dores finish at LSU, tough to be sure, and at home with Kentucky.

Keith, with the remaining schedules, I just might take your bet.

It's going to be really tough for me when Craig pitches this weekend. Can't pull against that young man! Maybe a strong outing by him and then hope to beat up and UT's pen!

I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend of baseball. With Vandy in town, and the district tournaments starting up, there's a lot of baseball going on.

Vandy slips into the top 20 here at boydsworld rpi land - this should be a barn burner of a series - remember last year as Worth Scott homers to put Vandy in and knock TN out of SEC tourney - there should be some intensity oooooooozzzzzzzzzzzzzing in k'town this weekend!

TN and Vandy are both playing ok, but in this conference there is no room for error... projections for ncaa bids are as high as 9 for this conference. Ole Miss has really faltered, Georgia has really picked it up (whoda thunk it) and LSU has it rollin as well- did Arkansas come out of no where our what?

Hate to correct those in power (never argue with those who buy ink by the barrel) -- but the SEC Tourny is made up of the winners of each Division plus the next 6 best SEC records -- not the 1st 2 places and the next 4 best records. Looking for a tough weekend in Koxville -- anyone there please stop by.

Omaha,

The information in my post regarding the # of qualifying teams for the SEC tournament is "cut and pasted" directly from the SEC baseball website.

Top 2 in each division and the next 4 best overall record

Second paragraph

Well -- I stand corrected based on what is on the Web Site -- and in the 2004 SEC Media Guide -- of which I have a copy-- I thought they changed this a couple of years ago -- but guess I ain't so smart after all.

I'd love to see Sowers pitch tonight.

I'd also love to see the Vols win.

I may be compromised by the district tournament. It's a huge series for both teams.

one down...two more to go

Mullins and Vanderbilt tie the series at 1 each with a 2-0 win over the Vols today.

Can anyone tell me the last time that the Vols won a 3 game series against a top 10 team?

Got to see the the Saturday game and last 4 innings of the Sunday game. First, congratulations again to Craig Cobb on his second complete game. UT's pitching was also very good on Sunday. Only problem was that Vandy's was better. Heard on the radio that 61 of UT's last 66 hits have been singles. Can't win in the SEC doing that.

With all respect to a fine Vandy program, this is very tough to swallow from a Vol fan dating back to the late 60s.

Ray-Bans vs. Recruitinator

Two in a row...

This was a TOUGH weekend for Bizazz. I got to watch my son end his high school career on a losing note. His future college team was eliminated from their conference tournament. Tennessee loses 2 of 3 to Vanderbilt.

And it's my turn to buy lunch for HV.
