Surely Neyland has turf too then.


Do yall not play on the same field? Surely your teams warning track shots would be 50' beyond the fence bombs? This is equally as absurd as uga and usc fans claiming our field is somehow only injury causing on their players knees. Suck it up. You lost tonight. There's 2 games left.

None of this has anything to do with the season being the reason that the baseball field has turf which is what you quoted and responded to.

To address your post, Tennessee is better than LSU. I never said that they were not. Vitello is an outstanding coach. But, to act like Tennessee's ballpark isn't different than any other field is absurd. Fielding on turf is different for infielders. Sliding on a turf infield is different for runners. Batting on a turf batter's box is different than dirt. A smaller outfield is much different than a deep one and the Vols players are used to all of that while other teams are not.
