    Swept Cincy, Vols are now 11-6 on the year. SEC starts next weekend against Ole Miss with a week day game versus W. Carolina on Wednesday.

    I played with the Kessinger brothers in HS, who both went to Ole miss and played, as did their dad Don. One brother has a son playing there now. Their family is royalty in Oxford. It doesn't pain me at all to see them take an L.

    He was a couple years older. Just a solid player. Big lanky kid that didn't make many fielding errors and I think he even made it to the big leagues for a short stint. They are that family that was just blessed. None of them look athletic, but have baseball in their blood. Keith was the only white kid on the all Memphis metro basketball team in HS, amongst players from Whitehaven, Hamilton, Raleigh Egypt, Kirby, etc. Ran @ a 5.5 and couldn't touch the rim, but could play ball. Great instincts.
    Basically they got all the skills I wish I had and want them to take some L's.

    I signed under him at Carson Newman simply because I liked him of all places that recruited me. 3 days after I signed he left and went to Arkansas State.

    Three. Damn. Days.

    At the UT/Bama game tonight. Guy behind me is driving me nuts. Commentating and he doesn’t know if there is cork or feathers inside the ball.

    I'm guessing some commentary about how it's pointless for pitchers to throw over to first and it just slows the game down?

    Every fly ball has a chance to go. Predicting every pitch before it’s called and not even close. Can’t tell difference between changeup and breaking ball. Umpire can’t get a call right. Mad because third baseman didn’t chase a foul ball on the ground and the all girl had to grab it.

    I could go on and on. Nothing worse than an idiot who thinks they’re smart.

    Santiago made this game closer than it should have been. He has serious issues receiving the baseball behind the plate.

    His father's arm was incredible but only so-so blocking the ball. Still, one of my favorite catchers.

    Junior can block it. He probably dropped 8 balls tonight by being lazy with glove. Has serious issue with beating the ball to the spot and sticking it. Not like we have a bunch of J.R. Richards throwing it at him.

    I bet he had a brand new flat billed cap didn't he?

    He was there with his wife and two kids. He was trying to sound smart for them. His son played some travel ball. I figured that out from hearing him refer to it at least 2,000 times.

    Taken the first two from Bama via a bases loaded walk both games.
