We took the series from Bama at home, but were just a couple of missed plays away from getting swept soooo :shrug:

I don't think we're gonna have the arms to make a solid run this year. Starting pitching is alright, but our bullpen is no bueno right now

Tennessee is #1 in 5/5 of the polls released so far, NCBWA should be soon, think it’s safe to say you will be consensus #1. Shame Arkansas doesn’t play y’all this year, would be a real fun one.

Speaking of, the Hogs host Mississippi State this weekend. Know State is a little down right now but they owe Arkansas one after Arkansas took the series in Starkville last year, so I am extremely nervous about this one

Tech walked off UT 2 nights in a row, then got beat hard on Sunday. I'll take a series win against the conference favorite, though.

Our bats are starting to come alive, but we've also played two of the less-good SEC teams so far, so we'll see.

Extremely juiced for the UT/Vandy match this weekend

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
ever since losing a 17-inning nightcap to a doubleheader to also drop the series against Florida State, NC State has gone 7-1 with a sweep of Georgia Tech, a series win at Clemson, and a win over ECU. i'm way too old of a State fan to ever think that things have turned around for good but they're through the worst part of the conference schedule and could still get in the hosting conversation if they don't completely go off the rails again. They don't play Virginia this year thankfully but the Louisville and UNC series will be big.

Tech somehow has climbed to #4ish in combined polls. I don't quite get it, we took 2 from UT that were walk-off situations and then lost the Sunday game, destroyed a mid-week scrub, then demolished Kansas Friday and Saturday (28-3 Saturday), and lost the Sunday game there.

Not sweeping Kansas makes me feel like we deserved significantly fewer votes...

Although, I guess everyone else is kinda sucking this year. You know it's bad when Texas State is showing up in the top 10.

Arkansas took care of business against Mississippi State, winning 2 of 3. Prior to the sunday loss arkansas had won 8 straight against the Bulldogs by a combined 72-27, per something I saw on twitter that I am refusing to fact check because I Want To Believe lol. Hate that we blew Sunday. Of Arkansas 5 losses, Ramage has been a decent part of four of them. Hard to second guess DVH too much when we only have 5 losses and are 2-4 in the polls depending on which of the six you look at, but man, seems bad.

Vanderbilt got swept and Florida State did, too, representing the two highest profile fallers.

Fun series to watch for this weekend:
#2 Virginia @ #9 Miami
#21 North Carolina @ #11 Louisville
#22 TCU @ #7 Texas
Mizzou @ #1 Tennessee

Three top 25 matchups, including a top 10 one, and then the ritual slaughter of Missouri away to Tennessee.

Arkansas faces a tricky trip to Florida. I know Florida isn't the strongest team this year, but I think it's a tricky trip all the same. Nervous about Arkansas pitching on the road and, especially if Florida can get Ramage to come out to play, could be a bad weekend.

Texas Tech traveled for a 2 game mid-week against Grand Canyon. What was supposed to be a mid-week vacation turned into an L to a much weaker team. Tech was too much in vacation mode.

Have another game today that feels like a must-win to keep top-of-league momentum.

Hosting KSU this weekend. Hopefully we can shake off the Sundays and come away with a sweep.

Having watched many excruciating innings of UF baseball, I feel fairly certain you don’t have much to worry about.

They’re certainly capable of striking hard but with inconsistent arms and being prone to collapsing under pressure, im sure y’all will take the series at a minimum.

If UF hits on Barco’s start they may pick up an isolated W, otherwise :rip:
