I was just about to post that. There needs to be a lawsuit.
ESPN hates us
I sure do hope they eat ESPN alive in a lawsuit. Maybe after the sting of a big lawsuit and some head rolling then they would not worry so much of trying to be the first to come out with the next "big" story.

ESPN guy apologized.
Russell's dad sounds like a good dude.
"Troy Eklund , your apology is appreciated and accepted. No anger in any form or fashion. God bless!!"

Is God just a TN baseball fan? Because he sure hasn't blessed the football team in quite some time.
I'm glad the kid has been cleared of the accusations and I really hope ms-ESPN has to pay for their
unsubstantiated defamation.
Well!!
Got our work cut out to pull this one out. Currently down 4-0 in the bottom of 3rd.
The rules for home team make no sense.
For the initial regional rounds of the tournament, the higher seeded team is always the home team. Once the initial regional round is completed, the NCAA uses the following three step process:
Step 1) The team has been the home team fewer times during the tournament becomes the home team.
Step 2) If both teams were the home team the same number of times, count the number of times each team was the visiting team during the tournament. The team that was the visiting team more often during the tournament becomes the home team.
Step 3) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times and the teams met previously during the tournament, the visitor in the immediately preceding game between the two teams becomes the home team.
Step 4) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times and the teams did not previously meet during the tournament, the team that was the visitor in its most recent, preceding game becomes the home team.
Step 5) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times, the teams did not previously meet during the tournament, and both teams were the visitor (or home team) in their most recent, preceding game, then the home team is decided by a coin flip.

How does the 1 seed end up the visitor? Regardless Vols getting that butt kicked 4-0 in the bottom of the 3rd. Campbell chased Chase Dollander with bases loaded and 2 outs. Kirby Connell came in and got the pop up to stop the bleeding for now. Need the bats to come alive.

See above on home team. Only the NCAA could come up with something so ridiculous.
Need to respond with a run or two. The longer we go scoreless the more tense the fans will become and the team will definitely feel the pressure.
That was fast… 4-3
Yeah, I keep forgetting that this isn't a normal team. We may still lose, but I feel better.
A guy offered me in last night game Alabama St +7 and I laughed at him!!
The two out bunt was a brilliant call. With 2 strikes also.
Drew Gilbert KILLED that ball. Throw 3 straight pitches in the same spot to that lefty and guaranteed he'll make you pay like he did.
Campbell is a scrappy bunch that just won't go away. 1-run game heading to the top of the 9th. Need a couple insurance runs.
