I would argue that this is a positive quality for a coach that’s dealing with 18-22 year olds. Our guys really feed off of it, and he knows exactly what buttons to push.


You may be right, I know that DVH's another day at the office style has worked for us. Regardless, Vitello is a great coach.

If I were the Vols AD, and I am obviously not, I'd lock him into a long term contract and look into upgrading the facilities. I think Vitello has a shot at winning a Natty in baseball at Tennessee. I think the fan support would be there as well.

Everyone enjoy the last day of the regular season. I wish I could be watching all the games with a cold beer in my hand, but something about never showing my face in Florida again something something. So to the wedding I must go.

Lot of smoke around him getting a nice 7 figure deal at season’s end. He easily has enough pull with some major boosters to get whatever he desires salary wise.

These leaked a few days ago, and it definitely seems like upgrades are in the pipeline. He’s wanted expanded seating all the way down LF with a new weight room put in on site under them.

Obviously a lot of luck is involved as we’ve seen with DVH’s inability to win it, but at the very least Vitello will have enough talent on the roster to be in the discussion most years, and that’s all you can really ask for. He’s a relentless recruiter and has JUCO connections for days.

Don’t think fan support will be an issue as some have tried to depict either. Baseball is extremely popular in East TN, and we are top 5 in basketball attendance despite not being a ‘basketball school’. Would have no issues filling LNS every weekend.

Is this Om/UgA game blacked out for anyone else on espn3?

Can’t get it to play at all, and can pick other games and it works fine

That's big. I don't pretend to be plugged in with insider information in the slightest, but I've heard through somebody that has moderate connections they're doing everything they can to keep him here for the long haul.

The left field expansion from what I've read seems like a big deal to him. That's great news since that's something that isn't confined by the current design/layout. Make it happen White!

Time for the Ole Miss bullpen to warm up. Our starter looks terrible.

Fristoe is struggling for State.

2-0 Bama

Figures we can’t nut up and sweep them to get to 20 conference wins
