re: Reg Season or Tournament champs,

oleyeller, I do hope you are trolling? Winning the conference by having the best record after 30 league games vs getting hot on one wkend & winning 4 games against teams not using their whole staff??? Skip used to start his worst pitcher & use subs through out the tourney to rest up his starters for the games that really mattered. And he only won 5 NC doing it this way. The team earns a trophy & the players & staff get championship rings for winning the league championship. Course, I realize UT was lucky get in the tourney, coming no where near winning the league itself, so I can see where the tourney is something to the vols.
