I did I also just started watching basketball too.
But I’m ready to get this football season started.
Wish we had football 12 months a year.

I concur.

Also forgot, they broke some magical curse that no other college baseball team could.

I mean they did set the record for most wins and only the 2nd team ever to win as the #1 seed.

try going undefeated in the postseason.

Or at least undefeated until the finals.

This is cute.

They aren’t even the best in the last 2 years.

The 23 Tigers dog walk the 24 vols.

Vols were really good this year though. Nobody can argue that.

They nearly did, and I am not sure that single loss in supers negates all the NCAAB firsts they achieved

Nah, 24 baseVOLS would destroy 23 LSU in a 3 game series. Our offense would be too much to overcome.

None of that matters, but you keep holding onto that 1 win when you lost the series. Moral victory’s for UGA!

LSU 1997:

Preseason #1
57-13 overall
22-8 SEC Chanpions
SEC Tournament Champions

And… Completed Back to Back National Championship as reigning 1996 National Champions.

Winning Back to Back Championships, as the Hunted all year long hard to accomplish.

Sorry, but no.

Vandy win percentage in '19 = 83% (59-12)
UT win percentage in '24 = 82% (60-13)

SEC records:
Vandy in '19 = 23-7
UT in '24 = 22-8

Both teams won SEC (UT shared), SECT and CWS

Yes. First SEC team with 60 wins ever. SEC Regular Season Champs.

SEC tournament champs.

National champs.

Best team ever. Any other SEC team arguing otherwise are just jealous of the Vols and handsome Tony Vitello, our king.

I love this years team but imo, the 2022 squad was one of the best college ball teams I've seen play.

Yeah, they didn't win the NCAA championship but it's baseball...the best teams hardly ever wins it all.

It's been 25 years since the number one team won it all.

Run ruled at home though. Quite a black mark to try and remove ,isn't it?
