Did anyone else go to sleep last night and dream about pulling the lips off the Vandy Whistler? Made a great game almost unwatchable.

Maybe he could be invited to ride on a Mardi Gras float and get the Al Hirt treatment.
"On February 8, 1970, while performing in a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, Hirt was injured while riding on a float. It is popularly believed that he was struck in the mouth by a thrown piece of concrete or brick and received 12 stitches to the underside of his upper lip."

This is why the bunt that everyone loves on here is not always effective and beats you. TN moves runners up with a nice bunt. But, now 1 out. A line out and a ground ball, gets you nothing. Second time this game.

Next 1/2 inning. UVA, 2 on, no outs. Ground ball double play. Moves runner to 3rd, but fly ball ends it.
So who knows?

But a line out and a double play ground ball is preferable? Nobody has ever claimed a sac bunt is 100% effective. Also fail to see how that got them beat in the 6th inning

Read more carefully. “Not always effective”. And beat meaning, one inning at a time. And I would argue that some on here would Bunt every single AB.

Why are the Cavaliers called the Hoos?

Because they are always lifting their skirts and showing their hoo hoos.

I was rooting for TN until I noticed the eight inch round 3D SEC logos on their batting helmets. Are you from TN or the SEC? SEC can KMA

Its actually the Wahoos and comes from a long ago rivalry between them and William and Mary or some other very small school.

Not sure, but it's probably racist. Or will be soon.

From their website
Legend has it that Washington & Lee baseball fans dubbed the Virginia players “Wahoos” during the fiercely contested rivalry that existed between the two in-state schools in the 1890s. By 1940, “Wahoos” was in general use around Grounds to denote University students or events relating to them. The abbreviated “Hoos” sprang up later in student newspapers and has gained growing popularity in recent years.
