    Oddly, almost the entire SEC on a Thur/Fri/Sat schedule this weekend. Only GA/KY are playing Fri/Sat/Sun. Planners must think this will be a good series as we're on regular TV for all 3 games.
    TN has a 21-8 /4-5 record so far. They are hungry to prove this record is not a true reflection of their team.

    TV: ESPNU
    Radio: WRUF 850 AM / 98.1 FM Listen Live - ESPN 98.1 FM - 850 AM WRUF
    Stats: StatBroadcast Live Stat Feed
    Weather: 62 Deg at the start and 57 to finish. 12-47% chance of precip. NNE Wind @ 4-6 = wafting out to right/center field.

    Starting Gator: #8 Jr RHP Sproat (5.45, 4-1, 36.1 IP)

    Starting Earl: #11 Jr RHP Dollander (3.92, 4-2, 39.0 IP)

    Go Gators!

    Well..for some reason..I can't stand any of their coaches lol..all of their teams and fans seem to take on the personality/image of their head coaches..in my opinion lol

    More and more schools and conferences are trying to avoid playing on Easter Sunday and hence, you will see a lot of Thurs-Sat series this weekend.

    Going to be a dogfight in Knoxville. UT is really good and we will obviously have to be at the very top of our game to win the series.

    Without question- this is the time for our SPs to step and show their real stuff. Tough team on the road in a boisterous atmosphere with a genuine a-hole of a head coach and a chippy team. Let's kick some butt Gators.

    I am glad about Easter and also happy I can watch the final round of the Masters without worrying about our game.

    I will happily give you all the credit for any bases clearing triples we get this weekend.

    Ah yes, The Masters-- wide open this year. Hoping Rory gets his Majors' Grand Slam- hard to believe with his length he hasn't won yet. Five weeks ago, I would have picked Rahm but his game has fallen off some... so it's wide open.
    (I know, I know- it's off topic moderators but it's the Masters!)

    The Masters is the Best sporting event bar none! I think I have watched ever minute every year (most on replay) for the last 30 years. Anyone but Koepka and Woods. (Yes, it's the Masters).
