Another tidbit...

He also mentions there’s no hot water in their locker room.

DVH don’t like cold showers

Well the fish are biting on the Rant at the moment. They are pretty minor catches but if someone wants to get some good trolling in on some of the lesser Vol fans just throw your hook in the water.

I would myself but as I rule of thumb I try not to punch down and these folks are waaaay down.

I love the pettiness in college like not giving a team hot water

Looking at their field, they may not be able to afford it.

Watching the games, my first thought was did it rain? Are they wetting the field? Why is there a darker square by first? What is this shite flying up from the ground when the ball hits in the outfield?

Then it dawned on me it is field turf not dirt and grass. fricking Poors.

SEC Tournament Seeding after the weekend...

1. Arkansas (+1 game)
2. Tennessee (-1 game)
3. Vanderbilt (-1.5 games)
4. Florida (-2 games)
5. State (-2 games)
6. Ole Miss
7. South Carolina
8. Alabama
9. Georgia
10. LSU
11. Kentucky
12. Auburn

As of today, Arkansas would play the winner of Alabama/Georgia(winner of 8/9 game).

To Win the WEST: Arkansas needs one win or one State loss.

Note: I am not going to list all of the scenarios for overall SEC title or co-championship...Arkansas goes 2-1 or 3-0 and Hogs are SEC Champions(Co & or outright). Hogs go 1-2 going to need just a bit of help(going 1-2 is where Vandy then gets a leg up with having a game canceled and title is by win pct.).

Breaking down the NCAA Tourney Bracket scenarios...

According to the latest D1 projections, Arkansas would likely avoid any SEC team in Supers if awarded the #1-4 overall seeds. This may change this weekend with Ole Miss beating Vandy. If Ole Miss wins their series this coming weekend at UGA, I could see the slipping into the #15-16 overall seed.

The top of the SEC is so strong, there is only one host site currently outside of the top 8, and that is Florida at #12. They would match up with overall #5 seed.

Super Regional Format(numbers represent overall seeds)
#1 site vs. #16 site
#2 site vs. #15 site
#3 site vs. #14 site
#4 site vs. #13 site
#5 site vs. #12 site
#6 site vs. #11 site
#7 site vs. #10 site
#8 site vs. #9 site

Im all SEC slanted and all....but that top 8 just looks kinda shady....LSU a top 8 national seed with a 32-19 record while sending ACC champion Clemson who is 42-6 on the road to Alabama is downright frickery.

Have a feeling DVH said something about them pimping the walk off a little extra yesterday. But shid I would too

DVH was the guys boss for several years. I'm sure he doesn't like his prize pupil letting his team behave like jack asses. He provides teaching moments for more than just our players.

Tony V. got a refresher course this weekend.

Has any team ever played this many ranked teams on the road during a season? To still be #1 after this schedule is mind blowing.

I had the same thought.

It’s one thing to run through a schedule of empty calories, but another altogether to face the schedule — especially the road schedule — that we have had and stay #1 is unprecedented.

We’ve played 9 teams ranked in the top 25 either currently or when we played them, 5 of which are/were ranked in the top 5. That’s incredible.

Most importantly, of those 9 opponents played thus far that are/were ranked, all but one (Bama) were either on the road or played on a neutral site.

This is why I think we are much better then most understand. We think our bullpen has issues, but we are playing the best teams in the country week in and week out

Curious to see how we go about managing our pitching staff this weekend. Dave is big on starters getting their full days rest, but Wicklander only threw 67 pitches and went 2.2 innings last Friday. We may see him go Thursday night, which would put him on track to start next Thursday in the SEC Tourney and give him an extended rest headed into NCAA Regional.

Ideally we would be up by a few runs and have Kopps available for Friday/Saturday games. Use Costeiu/Monke combo Thursday. Pallette/Kopps combo Friday with maybe a sprinkle of Vermillion/Morris. Saturday Lockhart/Bolden/Kopps if needed.

IF SEC is clinched by Friday night, I doubt we use many key arms in relief just to try and sweep Saturday. #1 seed would be locked up and so would at least a share of SEC Title.

In a perfect world, we start series with 2 wins and get some guys some reps in an SEC game that haven't gotten many in game 3(Noland, Tole, etc.).
