It seems like Vitello likes being here, and we have the money to make investments for the long haul. That said, not gonna say I’m not nervous until LSU makes a hire.
It's been a few months since I've had a good Tennessee [penis] kick,so let me make sure I've got a time line nailed down. This morning info will start leaking about a potential deal with LSU, players will hear about it leading to us getting our shit rocked this afternoon, team returns home, NYY guarantees that Vitello has signed an extension, Vitello is announced as LSU head coach within 24 hours of NYY's guarantee, we hire the baseball coach from UCF, croots decommit, and Tenny makes a drive-by post about the sport of baseball sucking. Sound about right?
The most upsetting part of all this is that I got tricked into giving a shit about baseball for about a month. I feel violated.
I saw that we were good. I kept an eye on the schedule. I watched the first few innings of the game against Virginia on Sunday. But I stopped WELL short of caring. I’ve been hurt way too many times to fall for that trap again.
I know some of y'all had talked about going to Omaha but decided not to. I did not know the team had decided not to show up either.
Baseball sucks when you don't give a shit about a team. Almost nobody sits around watching random MLB games like people will for football. But it's a beautifully romantic sport when you have a sentimental attachment to a team. Makes you feel like a kid again.
Proud of this team. It was a fun ride the past few weeks. I felt our lack of pitching was going to hurt us in Omaha. Losing our ace early in the year really hurt and would have changed everything for us in Omaha. Key now is keeping Vitello. Future is bright if we do. GBFO
Only Atlanta Brave playoff runs and this program can recapture the childlike magic of this sport for me. Few purer highs for any American sports fan than living and dying on every pitch with a baseball team you actually give a damn about.
