Congrats to the VOLS!

proud of the Hogs for fighting back and making it come down to the last possession. I think that bodes well for us come the Big Dance.

Yep, our kids fought hard that second half, no quit in them.

I could tell at the end of the lsu game some of our players looked gassed from that tough physical and emotional stretch they’ve been through. It was a tall order for them to play this game in that environment with a short break little practice or rest and lost an hour due to time zone change.

I’m proud of their effort.

I’m ready to fill out a bracket, something I didn’t think would have us in it not too long ago.


Go Hogs!

We only rotate about 8 players and our best defender is out with an injury and didn’t play at Tennessee.. I truly believe we’re a 5 seed no matter what happens in the sect so no I don’t care about it personally. Say what you want and down vote away… save the young men and their legs to try and make a run in ncaa tournament. 3 games in 3 days would take a toll and would really hurt our chances later if 1 of our 8 went down.

ETA: I feel the same way with the sec baseball tournament. Save the arms for regionals and beyond.

18-23 year olds don't need rest. Teams turn cold on breaks and catch fire by playing. Football** is about the only sport where resting makes any sense and even there bye weeks can be the biggest killer of momentum out there. The tourney provides an opportunity to get better before the NCAA tourney.

**Pitcher's (ok) but that's one position and rotations should take care of that.

Great game Hogs. I respect the way they fought back because being down 20+ in a sold out TBA is almost impossible to comeback. Good luck the rest of the way

Yes sir I agree they sure could

How’s Tennessee’s road record? They are probably the best team in the nation at home...but gotta play on the road come late March.

I think the Hogs have traveled fairly well with several close losses/moral victories in enemy territory. And I have to think that on the big stage neutral site we will have some Hog fans there to help out

Much respect to the Vols..... great atmosphere... but I'm dang proud our kids kept battling. Could have mailed it in after that terrible start but fought back and gave themselves a chance.
