2022 Vols Baseball

We can't talk a bunch of shit all year and then be surprised when good teams play extra sharp against us.

 

Tony said he doesn’t watch the College World Series so I don’t either.

 

I haven't watched a second of it. I'd probably get physically ill if I did.

 

If it isn't the Vols, it is just baseball and then I don't care.

 

wonder about ratings vs UT regionals

 

Pretty much.

 

Only thing worth keeping up with for CWS is the Jello Shot Challenge.

 

Gonna be a bunch of single wides getting foreclosed on in Arkansas with all that money going to jello shots.

 

I'm a bit disappointed in Auburn and A&M if you get right down to it.

 

Inflation is hitting the jello shot economy hard.

 

I object to total shots consumed as a reasonable metric. Arkansas and Ole Miss are baseball obsessed and presumably have far more people there than some of the other schools. While it would be a greater administrative burden on the bar I believe shots per person is a more appropriate metric.

And if we really want integrity in our statistics it should be shots per pound of body weight. This should be a measure of willingness to get [uck fay]ed up in support of your team. Three thousand Arkansas fans that each weigh 300 pounds taking one shot apiece is neither impressive nor deserving of internet clout.

 

7922 x $4.50 = $35,649. Pretty good profit margin.

 

Yes, shots per unit of mass is the way to really see who is laying it on the line for their team. And by that metric, the one skinny dude from Stanford there is clearly a monster.

 

I'm impressed that the two ND fans that made the trip have put down 362 of them.

 

Never underestimate the power of a Catholic liver.

 

Ole Piss-likely the 64th and final team included in the entire field-and Oklahoma are now in the driver's seat to play for the national championship just like everyone predicted a few weeks ago. College baseball post season often produces the most goofy outcomes, anything can happen in a back-to-back double elimination regional/best 2 of 3 SR format. D1 baseball arguably has the most parity of any college sport. One team hitting cold on the wrong day or the wrong inning, one error, or even one blown strike judgement call by an umpire can completely alter the outcome of a game. At least with basketball and football especially, you typically have to have the most talent to have a chance to begin with. Really the only sport where the 5th-9th place team in a major conference can squeak in and wind up getting hot for 3 weeks and end up winning it all. It's both beautiful and maddening at the same time.

 

Ole Miss always had the talent to win it all. Remember, they were the last team that was #1 in the polls before we took it from them in Oxford. They just waited until the literal last minute to finally put it all together.

 

The bull ain't kidding around.

 

I’m pulling for Ole Miss. Had 3 hs teammates play there. One is still all time winningest pitcher I believe and Don Kessinger coached me and his sons when I was in 8th and 9th grade

 

[uck fay] off.
