Great start for the Vols. Ole Miss was 16-1 in 2020 before COVID cancelled the season. We lost our first game of the year vs. #1 Louisville, then went 16-0 over our next 16 games. We were a complete team with great bats and solid pitching, and we beat the brakes off some teams. Far from the best start in history, but it was a fun ride.

Blade Tidwell who was the Saturday starter last year as a freshman (10-3, 3.74 ERA) and who was supposed to be the Friday night starter this year has been hurt. He is supposed to be ready this week.
Seth Halvorson, mizzou’s Friday night guy last year, has been out as well. He is expected to be a long weekend reliever. He’ll be back soon as well.

If we keep Vitello Tennessee baseball could become an elite program. Sorta like coach K made Duke relevant in basketball

I would have loved to watch that 2020 season. Several SEC teams got out to a hot start, and I was looking forward to conference play. UT started out the season 13-0 that year and were 15-2 when the season was prematurely stopped.

UF was likewise 16-1 in 2020 and swept Miami (at UM) who was ranked #1.

Chad Holbrook started 26-3 and was a unanimous #1 across polls in March of 2014.
Chad. Holbrook. let that sink in.
SEC baseball ain't how you start, it's how you play April through late June into July - if the calendar requires.

I'm sure no one here remembers it, but in 2017, Missouri lost their first game and then started 20–1. There were a handful of Missouri fans bragging about it, and I think one poll overinflated them to #5 at one point. They opened SEC play with a sweep at Alabama, and then lost 2/3 to us at home, finished 14–16 in conference play. Didn't even go to a Regional.
This is obviously not the case with Tennessee, but you really can't know what you have in the non-con with baseball.

This is what the best records in each SEC division looked like before the 2020 season was stopped.
East
Florida - 16-1
Tennessee - 15-2
Georgia - 14-4
West
Ole Miss - 16-1
Bama - 16-1
aTm - 15-3
MSU - 12-4
The teams were ranked:
1. Florida
3. Georgia
8. Ole Miss
14. Arkansas
17. Miss St.
18. Auburn
19. LSU
It was shaping up to be a really nice season in conference when the Pan-Damnit took hold.

Cool, I'll get sure to let Vitello know this.

Congrats on the cool bat flips and upcoming super regional loss

VOLS at 23-1, wondering where this stacks up historically. I figure some baseball blue blood school fans would know this info.
(granted, a lot less teams made regionals back then due to format, but it was still a season-wide meltdown). Important reminder that it's not about what happens in March, but what happens at the end of May and June.

Duke was relevant before Coach K. This would be like Bobby Richardson making Gamecock baseball relevant in the 70's, or Frank Mcguire making Gamecock basketball relevant. both programs were not close to relevant, much like yall used to be. One ended up sustaining success on to the next guy, the other of our programs did not.

seems to be a consistent theme that every SEC's schools team that had its best start failed to make it to Omaha most times, and failed to win.
UT could change that, but be weary.
Also our title team in 10 or 11 started out with a series loss to ECU and a loss to Presbyterian (6-4 to start the year) . So just get hot at the right time

Record don’t mean a thing once the playoffs or tournament begins.
The worst MLB regular season record ever to eventually win the World Series was the 2006 STL Cards (83-78)
Worst NFL regular season record to win the Super Bowl was the 2011 New York Giants (9-7)
Worst NBA regular season record to win the Finals was one of the mid 90s Rockets teams (47-35)
All a great regular season record does is get you into the field of competing for a championship.
Tennessee baseball has yet to do anything at this point.

If the post season started tomorrow I easily put Tenner as top seed and expect them to win it all. But there is still a lot of baseball to be played. We don't know who will get hot at the right time, what the injury situation will look like and who just catches bad baseball god juju at the wrong time.
I'm not saying you don't have an amazing team, but I've learned crowning someone in March is a poor idea.
