I don't get it. Can we not celebrate and also make fun of his seething jealousy at the same time? Why does it have to be one or the other?

Has somehow turned Tenner into an even bigger joke. I have to admit the amount of horrible takes and the number of times he has made a complete arse of himself in such a short period are truly impressive.

I was a fan of his Arkansas nickname topic. I'm sad he passed up on Trailerparkansas for the questionable Karensas.

I’m celebrating. Are you?


I'm neutral but I would be celebrating with you if you hadn't made it your mission to be asshats. I'm happy as hell about our team's accomplishments. We won the SECT for the first time in over 40 years. We have a trophy and a banner to hang and the best part is we have one helluva team returning.

Am I disappointed about losing to Michigan? Hell yeah but they were a pre-season #6 that underperformed during the season. They were always a bad match for us and I said so prior. It killed us that we shot 10 percent at the 3 point line. That happens. We were just unfortunate that it happened when it did. We'd been shooting 37 percent for two months.

But overall I'm happy as hell about our season and future.

Aim it at Crunchi then. The rest of us didn't do shite.

Tenn is on the up and up in basketball and baseball. Really, you're "there" in baseball. TBD for football, but it's nice to have major sports you're good at for at least eight months of the year.

It went both ways. I tend to stay out of shite like that and y'all were just as bad. The main problem tho was crunchi and serranaux kept poking.

I wish I cared about baseball because I know they're doing good. We have something special in Joyce and I can appreciate that but I'm a super casual when it comes to CBB.

Man, as someone who started caring about baseball in 2015, it's become my favorite sport over football.

It's nice to lose a game and realize the world isn't ending. It's nice to have games throughout the week. It's a slower sport, but I really learned to lean in to the anticipation. The low attendance and viewership is really what hurts it, it's easier to get excited about football because everyone cares. It's easier to get excited about basketball because everyone cares once March Madness starts.

Really, give it a try this year. You've got a team good enough to win it all (even though the sport is so volatile that it's impossible to say), and you're not going to want that NC to be lost on you if it happens.

Here's the difference. MOST hog fans would be cheering for the Vols- hell most of us expected y'all to make a run. But MANY of your weird arse fans felt the need to drag Arkansas all the time so now it's a whole-arse thing.

I'm definitely paying more attention this year. Some of the things Joyce does simply amaze me. It may sound weird because we give women's sports such a hard time but I've always enjoyed women's softball more. It's a faster game and how they pitch is just crazy.

Joyce is bringing unmistakable talent to the baseball team. And he's made things interesting to watch. I haven't taken in a full game yet but I've found myself watching clips which is something I've never done before.

My problem with baseball is that it's always been something that I felt was great to watch at the stadium but was boring to me on tv. All that said, I am going to make an effort. I played the sport so I don't hate it but truthfully I made the decision to stop watching when they banned Pete Rose. Ban the man from baseball, tell him he can't be around the sport sure, but banning him from the HoF is pure bullshite.

College is different so maybe I'll be able to get into it.

Most of us are cheering for you. In the past I've named Arkansas as the most fun/best fanbase I've been around in real life. You can find that in my posting history. (I've worn the hat and called the hogs).

However, the past few weeks have been over the top. That's why I say it's hard to cheer for you. Y'all have let crunchi who has been here since Jan of this year dictate what you say and if you're constantly trashing my alma mater I'm going to have a real hard time with cheering for you.

Might want to look at your own fanbase man... There are some really on their high horse... Diminishing conference titles, etc. Ya'll get a tad arrogant at times.

I have to ask, who is Joyce? I only know Tony Vitello on your coaching staff - a former Arkansas assistant who left for the UT job and is poised to overtake our coach in accolades if he keeps up the good work.

Baseball tickets are dirt cheap, usually. I take in the game however I can. I'm usually working during the games, so I find them online to listen to. And I feel like you'll like college baseball for the same reason you like other college sports. The SEC also dominates that one, so that's always fun.

It's a long off-season until football to see if Heupel is the real deal. What else do you have to do?

Ben Joyce is the first pitcher in recorded NCAA history to throw a 104 mph pitch. But it's probably best to just show you: Joyce 104mph

He has a 91 mph changeup. Joyce is one of those guys that grew a lot post-HS (like 6 or 7 inches). His pitches are ridiculous.

However, the problem UT baseball has is that a really good minor league team is in their backayard. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Smokies (they are in Kodak which is super close and they've been in different areas but all are very close) AND Knoxville and/or the greater area has hosted a minor league team since 1896.

It's hard for a college team to compete with a successful minor league team, especially when they were able to serve alcohol for so long while UT couldn't.
