Tepid recognition of A&M's well-earned victory, followed very quickly by commentary that practically foretells a Game 2 win for the Vols.

Largely because…it will be hot? Seriously?

Whatever. Let's go win another baseball game.

They gotta pump up tomorrow's game. Can't act
Like this is over, and it isn't over.

It is the same take from before today's game.

Still wondering why Game 2 isn't a night game. But ... oh, well.

I hope it's scorching hot.

Tennessee heat is nothing like Texas heat.

Advantage us.

Yeah I heard that as well and thought wait, Texas doesn't get hot? When did we start playing in a domed field?

If they do they do. All I care is we win one more. Don't care which game it is. LSU was happy just fine winning in 3 last year.

Our pitching might be better set up in game 3 with Lamkin and Asch.

Not to mention Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN so if they want eyeballs, they want it to be a day game.

I get it, but think we should let this kind of thing go.

We've underperformed in men's major sports for 80 years or so and our fan base isn't well-liked. None of this is new.

Just win.

A&M burned our best reliever when it seemed unlikely. That is a big deal.

But mostly, they are pumping up the game to get eyeballs.

Tennessee used a bunch of arms today as well.

If we score as many runs as the number of times I've heard someone from eastern TN say that "at least Texas is a dry heat", we'll win by triple digits

Tennessee starter tomorrow is an advantage imo but doesn't mean we can't win the game.

Rather be in our shoes than theirs all day long.

……we win game 2 and refuse to concede game 3 so we can sweep their thump-dumb-down asses.

I don't understand this talking point. I wish we could have saved Ash, but Tennessee was throwing everyone out there too. Why is Tennessee in a much better position right now???

Look at their pitch counts, most of them hardly threw much at all. They also have three quality starters. We have two, and are likely saving our second for Monday. That's why everyone is writing us off tomorrow

To think ESPN would down play the importance of a game televised on a competitor's network.

Agreed. Most of these talking heads predicted a Volunteer series win, so they are trying to save face.
