Same here. Guess this should be in the Rivals section. Looking forward to the day we make back to Omaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 10,099 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 UT has a great roster and some big strong kids. But the exit velocity off their bats should raise some suspicions. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Jackie Sherrill I think. Wanting our game footballs checked for helium after seeing Terry Daniels punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting our game footballs checked for helium after seeing Terry Daniels punt. Their opponents are hitting HRs at 100-105 exit velo. Their HRs are consistently at 110-117. And it’s pretty consistent through their lineup. Could be that they are just that much bigger and stronger, or they’re just the best I’ve ever seen at driving the ball. If they’re not cheating I hope we can align our recruiting to theirs in the near future because it is next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing your pick up has been noted by others. Cheating as with bats not meeting specs? Without a doubt the line up is amazing. With a super charged bat still have to see the pitch and hit it somewhat squarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now convinced that TN is cheating. Some great ball again today. Rain delay prior to SEC cannibalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 4,042 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I just want Florida and FSU to go 0-2 and go back home. After they are eliminated I don't care who wins it, but would probably pull for Virginia or North Carolina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you on “anyone but TN”. Spend a lot of time gulf coast and lived there for a while. FSU fans can be overbearing in football. The forgotten coast area is infested with Georgia dawgs….the nasty kind that do the barking stuff. Always have a wisecrack if you are wearing something Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTiger 8,705 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 BTW, for entertainment could ask for a better 1st round. 3 walk off games and all 1 run games. Missed last night due to rain delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbiscuit 319 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Don't really like the Florida fans over their treatment of Mize. Plus having seen Jac Caglianone (and a few others from Florida)in person be rude to kids asking for an autograph, am OK with them going 0-2. Ok with UNC, Kentucky, A&M and I guess NC State for winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the very few Bammer fans that went to school in Tuscaloosa or have some affiliation to be tolerable. Not so with UGA folks.

LPTiger 5,542 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 @SaltyTiger finding a Bammer with a diploma from UAT is harder than finding a hooker on the front row in a baptist church. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerPAC 1,057 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It is interesting that Tenn exit velo does seem faster than most others. And it’s not just 1-2 players, it’s their entire lineup. I’m sure I have on my anti-Vitello glasses but odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
