I don’t think the coaches hate each other.

Nah not really. They are the main ones on the board though so they give y’all a bad rep.

I’ve liked every tenner fan I’ve met outside of this place though.

Yeah. It is what it is. I wish we didn’t have so many shitty alts desperate for attention. At the end of the day, it’s just message board goofin’. Every fanbase has their share of annoying trolls and that’s part of the dynamic. I have to be honest, it can be entertaining, even when your fanbase is bearing the brunt of it because somebody who has your favorite team’s logo next to their name started a trash talk topic the previous day that deservedly got bump trolled out to 5 pages

I mean Texas aint won a title in 20 years so quit the yappin. At the end of the day as a Tennessee fan I don't really care if LSU wants to be a rivalry or not. Dont really care what any fanbase thinks. But as a fan of college baseball I like the idea of this becoming a big rivalry game. I think its fun for the sport and will bring more attention but whatever lol

I would wager any amount of dollars you likely do not have that Texas will absolutely outstrip Tenner in the next 20 years.

I'm sure you have some level of common sense and realize this is a fools bet but hell yeah

I want it to be but LSU and Florida have met in 2 National Championship Series in the last 8 years. I actually dislike Sully more than TonyV lol.
I will agree though Now that yall got over the hump and won a championship this has potential. Both Coaches are young and Elite.

Tennessee fans care about baseball. Florida not so much. I like when good teams play at the Box.

Definitely a recent development for all of us. I never paid attention until ~5 years ago.

It’s not a rivalry and it isn’t because it’s Tennessee. Every program feels this way about your program.

The “hatred” is because y’all are a douche bag program.
-It’s the antics
-It’s the staring down umpire
-It’s the mouth wide open “what” look on every players face when a call doesn’t go their way
-It’s the arguing every pitch call
-It’s the fur coat wearing
-It’s the obnoxious bat flipping
-It’s the assistant coaches yelling at umpires and other coaches
-It’s Vitello chest bumping an umpire
-It’s flipping an opponent off after a hit
-It’s winning with no class

The list goes on for a team that’s been competitive for like 3 years.
Although Vitello has calmed down, the assistants nor players have not. So he’s created this culture at Tennessee which makes y’all a bunch of classless clowns. Naturally, other teams/fans/coaches “hate” y’all because it ruins the sport.

I think why this will never develop into a true rivalry is the way the Tenn coaches and players act. It is not just to LSU or other SEC schools. Over the years under Vitello they have acted like jackasses.

I am not sure if they want to be the villain but they are disliked by many baseball fanbases. When 2 teams are good and have a "hatred" toward each other, there is also mutual respect. No one respects Tennessee.

it's so bad that it caused LSU to do some of these things and I've never seen them do these until this weekend against Tennessee. Tennessee brings out the a-hole in non a-hole teams.

I love the newly found rivalry in this baseball series. People can say what they want but everyone has been waiting for this matchup the whole season. Great college baseball atmosphere when these two get together.
