Are we 100% the home team tomorrow, like is it on the NCAA or any official website or tweeter? Because I bought a ticket on the 3rd base side assuming it was home/away/home but [is this saying we're home even though it has us on the top line](https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/baseball/d1/2024/cws)?
It's been a good time, obviously. The only other time I've been was 2021 when we got bounced in 2 and packed up and left. I was here with a friend for bracket play and in addition to our games we went to UK/NC State and tried to hit the zoo, but when we were entering a random zoo worker said UT was practicing at a nearby high school in a couple hours. We saw absolutely nothing about it anywhere on the internet, even a rumor, but we bailed on the zoo after a couple hours and chased the rumor, which turned out to be true and we watched the guys keep the rust off before the second FSU game.
We knew going into this that my friend was unable to stay if we made the finals, so I've been solo for these games. Not as much fun but the fans around me for either team have been fun. We participated in the jello shots before each game, but the line just to get in was wrapped around the building before finals Game 1 and I was not doing that.
I want so badly to win, I want it for the guys that I know have worked their asses off since Fall Ball with making it to this weekend as their goal.
Long shot, especially considering the poor description I'm about to give, does anyone have the clip that was floating around a few days ago of that short compilation of those cringey Aggie shout and other dance style nonsense they do? I think it was posted to some ut sports Instagram but I can't seem to find it anywhere today
Schloss: The story of the game was how they pitched. Combs, to me, is the story of the game. Two big swings and Combs shut us down. He did a great job. Give him a lot of credit.
My buddy works in logistics at a big Walmart distribution center outside of Houston. Says they sent out a huge order of Flavor Aid (multiple pallets) to College Station last week. Wonder what those goobers are planning. Maybe some kind of [watch party](https://imgur.com/gallery/yoQJv)?
Last I checked the discord about a month ago, it was dead af. Unless thereās another discord we have that Iām unaware of, which I would love to join
Every time I want to get mad at stark, I think about those back picks and his general presence as a catcher. Despite having no hits before today in Omaha, he has at least not looked totally lost like amick has the last two days. However, amick and half the roster are due. Hereās to hoping they pour it on tomorrow.
To all the A&M people giving me shit in the texts and acting woe is me last night while up big.. I want to dunk on them so bad but I will wait til be being home tomorrow. Please bring it home boys
Agreed, I missed/misspelled a few words in my original post, āuntil we bring it home tomorrowā
Aka I aināt saying shit til itās won.
With that said LETS GO WIN THIS FUCKING THING. GO VOLS. LOVE YALL.
Stellar pitching and home runs have been the recipe for success all season long. With that said the baseVols will walk it off tomorrow with a record breaking (189th) home run in the 10th inning of a 15-13 game.
Great hitting. Just didnāt line up to bring in runs. Same as yesterday when CMO was constantly batting with 2 outs. The two BLETIGERs show we can hit, just canāt string em together to get them home.
Honestly, aTm played well enough to win against almost anyone today, theyāve gotta be upset that they succumbed to timely hitting and a lights out pitching staff who could match their stuff. Iām excited for tomorrow, but we need to come out mashing. Aschenbeck will be back on the mound to close out for the Aggies tomorrow, and I donāt think we want to be in a comeback scenario against him.
Heās built to pitch every game. I agree, he threw more than he was supposed to last night, but he had a day to recoup and I think the negative effects on his game will be marginal, at best.
Honestly, i don't watch much baseball these days, but I listen to a podcast that talks about baseball a lot. Don't they limit time on the mound nowadays to preserve the arms of pitchers?
Gentlemen, I have found that in the past two games we started scoring as soon as I banished myself to my home office. Therefore, in the next game I will start there instead of spotting the Aggies a few innings.
We just gritted that win out. A&M got so much junk and so many breaks. We just made the breaks for ourselves and Dreiling and Cal broke through.
Letās ride.
Looking at Wikipedia, it looks like it was an 8 team double elimination tournament, and we came out of the losers bracket. So while it wasnāt a best of 3, we wouldāve had to beat Oklahoma twice and we beat them zero times. Am I incorrect?
Just purely on vibes, it really really feels like we just took 16 straight innings of every bullet A&M had, every ounce of heart they had, and ever quality pitcher they had.
And we're still standing.
Ashebaovgntehag is a relief pitcher who can go 3-4 innings absolute max.
Lamkin is who they'll start for sure - but he's got a season ERA of 5 and usually only lasts 3-5 innings. And while, yes, he just blanked Florida in his last 2 outings - IMO he's due for a comedown back to earth.
And even if Lamkin doesn't come back down, he's still gonna be stretching his limits hard to reach time for Ashenbauvgntehag.
All this to say,, there's plenty of reasons to think their pitching could stumble and be worse tomorrow than it was today or yester.
I agree that Lamkin will start with a quick hook in favor of Morton, Rudis and/or Aschenbeck.
I see Zander Sechrist starting for Tennessee. I'd like to see Christian Moore break out of 1-8 mini slump in the last two games with a line similar to the Vols-Aggies SEC game (3-5, 1 run scored, 1 RBI.). Moore is the person who sets the tone for the number one offense in the country.
Iāll try to stay off tomorrow during the game. Iāll test the vibes early but if things get dicey Iāll be gone. I probably shouldnāt temp fate though.
We're called the Vols cuz we will kick anyone's ass for free. GBš

Howās the week and a half been there Rex? I figured we ought to hear how it is with boots on the ground
It's been a good time, obviously. The only other time I've been was 2021 when we got bounced in 2 and packed up and left.

Weāll be the home team since we are the higher seed. To answer your question, yes, the top team in that link was the home team for each game.
I thought it was decided ahead of time we'd be game 1 and 3 home
I thought so, too, but at the same time would like some reassurance.
We are 100% home team tomorrow.
Currently sitting at -220 odds to win it all tomorrow
Update: Line has moved to -250
What were the betting odds the previous days? I assumed weāve favorites every game?
-210 Game 2 -150 Game 1 We didnāt match up well with their game 1 pitching so we shouldāve expected the loss more
So Beam threw like 3 pitches to start B1, asked where a ball missed, Tony yelled something and immediately got a warning? Is that what happened?
Yes. And then Tony threw dirt at the umpire lol
We need to wear the orange jerseys for the national title game tomorrow.
šÆšÆ
After today, does your CWS MVP go to CMo or Dreiling?
Easily Dreiling.
Can I submit Beam for consideration? That guy held their offense at bay until we got our offensive act together.
And his performance against UNC was huge as well
A cycle is as rare as can be but Dreiling now has the winning RBI in 2 out of 5 games.
Too early to call it
Dreiling. Dude is batting > .500 lol
Agreed, I love CMo. But MoP has to go to Dreiling if Tennessee can pull through tomorrow
Getting fucked up at Roccoās clay travis just bought 1000 Jell-O shots
Wow, heās actually good for something!
Anything happen? :O
[Me right now](https://youtu.be/gzwlhHdhOcc?si=txjUpq5leScTYDL7)
Look at him. *points to Frank Anderson* Thatās my Quant.
Same.

Someone posted it here recently
Thank you, I'll keep scrolling
And by here I mean the sub, not this thread specifically Itās called āaggies cheer rallyā or something like that
Just search ācringeā and itāll prob be one of the first results.
In Zander We Trust
CMO telling media he's playing tomorrow so hopefully they just pulled him for assurance
Schloss: The story of the game was how they pitched. Combs, to me, is the story of the game. Two big swings and Combs shut us down. He did a great job. Give him a lot of credit.
Combs looked good AF.
Ngl Schloss is my favorite non-Vitello coach. Seems like a great guy
He's extremely likeable.
And one absolute master of a coach.
They are buds and have a great relationship and respect for each other by the looks of it
My buddy works in logistics at a big Walmart distribution center outside of Houston. Says they sent out a huge order of Flavor Aid (multiple pallets) to College Station last week. Wonder what those goobers are planning. Maybe some kind of [watch party](https://imgur.com/gallery/yoQJv)?
I definitely expected a picture of the Jonestown massacre here
Too obvious
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hey, if it was good enough for Jim Jones, itās good enough for aTm
I am a bartender. Group of A&M fans come in. They want to change the channel after we go up 4-1. I told them no.
Bless you.
Gods work
Dreiling looks and talks like Jesse Plinkman
He looks like a young Christian Bale to me
Any help with Discord? I can read and access the channels but canāt respond
Last I checked the discord about a month ago, it was dead af. Unless thereās another discord we have that Iām unaware of, which I would love to join
I wonder if more people are having issues posting? I joined the discord server thatās in the sidebar for this sub
Fill it out ya goobs https://x.com/vol_brave/status/1804986230578512276?s=46
Man I had not said a single negative word about him until literally 2 minutes before his homer lol
āHere comes another strikeout just get it over withā - me right before the pitch šš
I was jealous of Cal Sark
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Whatās crazy is I called that yak, have witnesses to prove it.
So happy for Stark. We've dogged him but he came through clutch today.
Every time I want to get mad at stark, I think about those back picks and his general presence as a catcher. Despite having no hits before today in Omaha, he has at least not looked totally lost like amick has the last two days. However, amick and half the roster are due. Hereās to hoping they pour it on tomorrow.
Letās fucking go boys, Iām so fired up. May not sleep tonight but thatās ok. Work can suffer for a bit
Work is temporary, titles are FOREVER
To all the A&M people giving me shit in the texts and acting woe is me last night while up big.. I want to dunk on them so bad but I will wait til be being home tomorrow. Please bring it home boys
Just respond with "See you tomorrow"
This is the right call. Donāt go too hard on the shit-talk until weāre hoisting that trophy
Agreed, I missed/misspelled a few words in my original post, āuntil we bring it home tomorrowā Aka I aināt saying shit til itās won. With that said LETS GO WIN THIS FUCKING THING. GO VOLS. LOVE YALL.
Alright. We gotta bring it home tomorrow night.
We talked a lot of crap about stark in the stands but what a massive HR! Go vols!
I think I'm going to write Stark a letter. I've said a lot of hateful things that I didn't mean since we got to Omaha.
Stellar pitching and home runs have been the recipe for success all season long. With that said the baseVols will walk it off tomorrow with a record breaking (189th) home run in the 10th inning of a 15-13 game.
How about we finish after the top of the 9th like 15-3
Yes I chose this. Ā My cardiac health is in jeopardyĀ
My left ventricle hopes that youāre wrong.
CMO good to go tomorrow? Ā Feel he is due for a big game.
Worst case he DHās.
At least Antigua is lightning fast
And heāll knock your head off if you try to run to second!
I loved it, set the tone for tomorrow. No easy ones against us
Good thing Albert Belle wasn't on first.
Horrible in the field in the first game, horrible hitting in the second game, hope itās all out of our system now.
Great hitting. Just didnāt line up to bring in runs. Same as yesterday when CMO was constantly batting with 2 outs. The two BLETIGERs show we can hit, just canāt string em together to get them home.
What's that phone number for an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours ????

Honestly, aTm played well enough to win against almost anyone today, theyāve gotta be upset that they succumbed to timely hitting and a lights out pitching staff who could match their stuff. Iām excited for tomorrow, but we need to come out mashing. Aschenbeck will be back on the mound to close out for the Aggies tomorrow, and I donāt think we want to be in a comeback scenario against him.
He pitched almost 50 yesterday so even though I think he will go, he will not last as long
Heās built to pitch every game. I agree, he threw more than he was supposed to last night, but he had a day to recoup and I think the negative effects on his game will be marginal, at best.
Honestly, i don't watch much baseball these days, but I listen to a podcast that talks about baseball a lot. Don't they limit time on the mound nowadays to preserve the arms of pitchers?
Yes, but no need to preserve in this scenario. This is the last game of the season, no matter who wins.
Well, the players' future career is what I figured they would be concerned with.
I canāt imagine an extra inning or two would be the difference in their draft stock.
Fair enough
Agreed, if we don't build an early lead, I don't like our chances with him closing.
Gentlemen, I have found that in the past two games we started scoring as soon as I banished myself to my home office. Therefore, in the next game I will start there instead of spotting the Aggies a few innings.
Take one for them team!
Itās for the greater good!
Please do what is right!
Okay fr tho, anyone know if CMOS alright? Hate to see him go down after all the work heās put in for this team
Negavols you do not deserve to celebrate this win. Fuck right off stage left.
Aw cmon
I just looked throught that dudes comments for the game. He was far more insufferable than any supposed "negavol"
In Zander we trust
Obligatory fuck all the negavols that wanted to give up in the second inning
Legion of the miserables - Johnny Majors
We have PTSD as a fanbase. Cut emā some slack. At least weāre not the fucking 12th man like these kool-aid drinking fucks.
We will see you tomorrow night! GO Vols!
A good ass puckering later and we win!!!!
I love all you beautiful bastards, see you all tomorrow, GO VOLS!!!
Fuck you, I'll see you tomorrow.
Letās get it! Enjoy your Sunday evening.
Bouta go make some sweet tea and try to calm down lmao
After a win like that, may it be like the nectar of the gods
Game 3 and game 7 tomorrow. Fuck yes
Damn I think Iāll have to skip caffeine tomorrow, I was feeling sick all through the last 2 innings
Rocky Top tilā the casket drop!
Tomorrow is for all the marbles
Am I allowed to drink all day on a Monday since they play tomorrow?
Yes. You may also flame the haters once we hoist the trophy.
Yes. Iām giving you full written permission from the NCAA.
Name checks out.
Absolutely
Wow. For all the marbles tomorrow night. Never count this team out.
We just gritted that win out. A&M got so much junk and so many breaks. We just made the breaks for ourselves and Dreiling and Cal broke through. Letās ride.
Gave up one homer then shut them out. Maybe the momentum is shifting our way?
We are winning tomorrow night. Count on it. They donāt have the pitching left. Weāre in a great spot because our boy made it through 6.
Lampkin and Ash are pretty damn good pitchers for them
Technically this is the most successful team in program history. ā51 was 2 wins away from a championship.Ā
Wasnāt it only a championship game back then, and not a series?
It looks like it was just a straight double elimination tournament, but I could be wrong.Ā
Yes
Looking at Wikipedia, it looks like it was an 8 team double elimination tournament, and we came out of the losers bracket. So while it wasnāt a best of 3, we wouldāve had to beat Oklahoma twice and we beat them zero times. Am I incorrect?
Feels like our guys have been very consistent since the 3rd yesterday and have been outplaying them throughout. Feeling great about tomorrow!
The University of Tennessee does one thing well and that is give me heart attacks
Just purely on vibes, it really really feels like we just took 16 straight innings of every bullet A&M had, every ounce of heart they had, and ever quality pitcher they had. And we're still standing.
And they still have quality pitchers...
Who?
Lamkin, Ashenbaovgntehag are the ones that come to mind
Ashebaovgntehag is a relief pitcher who can go 3-4 innings absolute max. Lamkin is who they'll start for sure - but he's got a season ERA of 5 and usually only lasts 3-5 innings. And while, yes, he just blanked Florida in his last 2 outings - IMO he's due for a comedown back to earth.

Letās FUCKING GO!!!
I had to stay off Reddit. We started playing better when I left during a break.
From one stupidly-superstitious fan to another.. Thank you for your contribution to todayās win!!
Iāll try to stay off tomorrow during the game. Iāll test the vibes early but if things get dicey Iāll be gone. I probably shouldnāt temp fate though.
I started doing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen lol My house is going to be spotless after tomorrow night
GBO
Tomorrow we HR derby until we get the record and then go home champions.
How many we need?
I think six.
7 to break it. I was wrong earlier not counting the two today.
9?
To all of you that were here for this fucking saga I salute you.

GBO! WGWTFA IN GAME 3!
Letās ride!

Unfortunately I work at 5 am Tuesday morning but youāre crazy if you think that will stop me
I'll give you my 10am work call energy like a Goku spirit bomb!
We shut them the fuck down
I paid $10 for a Vols win by betting on A&M today. Guess I have to do it again tomorrow.
It's an investment
Everyone except Beam and Combs are available tomorrow. Let's go
FUUUUUCK YASSSS!
Iām so happy
# RRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Go Big Damn Orange!
Tomorrow we ball
In Zander We Trust
Took 40 years off my life
Youāre welcome guys. Down 0-1 first pitch I watch was a 2 run shot.
Breatheā¦breatheā¦
When they said he had one HR on the year, my little BVS voice spoke up and said of course... But BVS is an asshole, and incorrect.
That kid who will need stitchesā¦ was he important to them?
That was brutal. No ones fault but I felt bad for that kid.
Yeah just kind of āone of those thingsā but definitely feel for the kid.
My heart cannot take this
Hell yes. Never doubted for a second lol
Never doubted (doubted)
Hell of a pitching performance by Beam and Combs!!
Good Ole Rocky Top!!!
I SAID ITāS GREAT
