I used to be a huge baseball fan, but it became a completely ignored game, MLB or otherwise. Tennessee baseball captured me a few years ago and Holy cow it rekindled my love of baseball!

[@plantthespear]

I love to hear that and can totally relate! I was a baseball fan growing up (Sammy Sosa was my guy!), but my fandom faded as well. Mike Martin's last few seasons got me back into it, but then we sucked for 3 years lol This season has really made me love it again. It's been a great postseason for college baseball so far, and I think the sport is going to grow rapidly. Appreciate you tuning in!

Vol fan here. Great content. Excited to watch a really fun game.

[@plantthespear]

Thank you! I think this is going to be one of the blockbuster matchups of this tournament. And they just announced we're getting the prime time slot! Really enjoyed getting UT's perspective on the matchup. We had a fun discussion on the Vol Fanatics live stream on Fbook and X about it last night, too. Appreciate you tuning in!! 🫡

[@mitchwade3139]

Great show. Tennessee vol was a good interview

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that!! I'm grateful Michael was able to come on to give us Tennessee's perspective on this matchup. They do a great job with the Vol Fanatics show! Thank you for tuning in!

[@cameronrivera2449]

Vol fan here. Can’t wait to play yall. Yall got a really good team🙏🏽

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that! 🫡 I believe this will be one of the best games of the tournament! Big bats, good pitching, swag on both sides, and in prime time, too! We're gonna have our work cut out because yall have built one heck of a program. Two 50-win seasons in three years??? 🤯 I hope Link still has some of that 2021 magic from ND 😅 Just hoping for a good game, no matter how it turns out. Thanks for tuning in!

[@griffinscarlett4176]

I’m a Tennessee fan but i gotta subscribe after this I love watching another teams fan give their perspective without throwing in backhanded disses or hating. I really hope this is a great game. Never thought I’d enjoy baseball so much having never played.

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that!! I've always tried to be informed and respectful when it comes to the opposite teams. Of course, we'll have a little fun here and there. Now, we will throw a few jabs at Florida and Miami 😅 But that's what rivalries are for! I think this will be one of the best games of the tournament. I'm excited and nervous to draw the #1 seed, but if you wanna be the best, you have to beat the best. I like baseball, but college baseball is a different animal. It's really fun to watch because the passion is still there. Thank you for tuning in and the sub! Here's to a great game on Friday night 🫡

[@GoVolsAlways]

Vol fan, this was a great preview. Well done. This will be a great game.

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that! 🙏 I think this will be one of the most exciting games of the entire tournament. We're gonna have to bring our best to beat a team like Tennessee. I'm nervous and excited, but I can't wait to watch it!! Thanks for tuning in!!

[@tnjrcfl1]

Hey y'all. Nothing but respect. Y'all have had one Hella season with an outstanding team. Your fans in the chats... not so great but hell we all have idiots in our midst... much love and congrats on great season. Your going to be back with that coaching and team for good time to come. Good luck in the fall and next spring. TNJR

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that! 🤝 I hate coming up short, but it was a still major turnaround season for us. We lost to the best team in the country in Omaha. Can't be too mad at that after the past few years we've had. You guys are an absolute machine! Good luck, and go win it all, especially if it's against Florida! 😅

[@NCNoleFan]

I'm excited about this matchup even if it means drawing the #1 seed in game 1. If you're gonna be the best, you gotta beat the best, and what better way to start the series than beating a team like Tennessee if they can do it.🤞I won't lie. I'm a little nervous, too. 😅 Mostly because I want our baseball program to finally win one. Gonna need a big game from Arnold (assuming he starts) and the bats to stay hot. The real question is, who is going to win the Jello shot challenge?? 😅 Enjoyed the preview and getting Michael's perspective as a Vols fan. Go Noles!!

[@plantthespear]

I hear that! It's gonna be a tough test, but I think we can do it if we play up to our potential. We are LONG overdue, and I want it badly for them, too! I totally meant to bring up the jello shot challenge 🤦‍♂️ I think we'll hold our own and probably lead the ACC teams, but Tennessee feels like favorite here! 😅 Thanks for tuning in. Go Noles!!

[@renelimon5876]

Don't forget to buy FSU Jello Shots, in Omaha

[@plantthespear]

We need to win on the field and in the stands!! We're coming for it all. Go Noles!!

[@jeffwright5768]

Love the crossover but go Vols!

[@plantthespear]

Appreciate that! Looking forward to a great game! You know I'm gonna have to give you back with a Go Noles! 😅 Thank you for tuning in!!

[@ChrisJohnson-zz9wu]

Awesome weekend for the Noles Baseball them boys deserve it. Go Noles 2024 Omaha bound.

[@plantthespear]

Hopefully, we can stay hot and make some noise in Omaha! Appreciate you tuning in 🤝 Go Noles!!

[@jeffwright5768]

Glad y'all are nervous too🍻

[@plantthespear]

Yes, sir! 🍻 I'm excited because I know we're a good team when we play well. But, I'm nervous because we drew the best team in the tournament! 24th trip to Omaha, I just want them to finally get one. Looking forward to a great game!

[@hobonickel840]

Arnold is the starting pitcher... it's not gonna be easy. The kid is a K machine and I'm a Vol fan. Immaculate innings are quite the achievement... if he was not pitching I'd easily give the route to the Vols

[@plantthespear]

100% agree there. Carson Dorsey has been good in the postseason, but it has to be Jamie Arnold against a team like Tennessee. And he's gonna have to be on his game and keep his pitch count low. I'll be worried if he can't give us at least 6-7 innings. Our offense can score, but I suspect it'll be how Arnold's day goes that decides if we win or not. It's gonna be a tough battle. I'm excited and nervous, but I can't wait to watch it! Appreciate you tuning in!!

[@hobonickel840]

@@plantthespear Dorsey topped Arnold that round

[@plantthespear]

@hobonickel840 he did! Dorsey has actually been better than Arnold this postseason. Jamie's been a little up and down, but when he's on, he's hard to beat. We're gonna need Conner Whittaker to be able to go in game 3, but he threw 71 pitches in Friday. Our bullpen always worries me, though. Especially against an offense like Tennessee's.

[@jeffreyburress2200]

It's past time FSU was in the SEC. Can you imagine the seasonal matchups?

[@plantthespear]

100% agree! That's why, personally, I would prefer it over the Big 10. The regionality and matchups would be awesome! That LSU series was really fun!

[@gameovr17]

Fl state has that 1 pitcher. UNC is way deeper. UNC scares me more then fl state as a Tennessee fan

[@tnjrcfl1]

Going to be a freaking fun barn burner imho. Gotta stay with my Vols to call of course but close with moderate high scoring... UT by 2 with both scoring 5 or more... going to be exciting though... I'd go higher but larger field and the best pitchers going.... if UT can score it's average 9 then they don't lose in Omaha, imho.... in my homer opinion 😆 🤣 best of luck when not playing my Vols:) much love TNJR

[@plantthespear]

Agreed! I think this will be one the best games of the entire tournament 🔥 And we got the announcement that it's in prime time, too! If UT scores an avg of 9, they will be really hard to beat! I feel like we might need double-digits to pull the upset off. Or watch it'll be like 2-1 😅😅😅 Good luck to yall as well, just not in this one 😅 Appreciate you tuning in!

[@tnjrcfl1]

@plantthespear right!! We All looking for 20+ combined and it will be one run game under 5 total 😆 that's baseball you never freaking know. Have a great week and we'll talk to ya Friday night:)

[@plantthespear]

@tnjrcfl1 Man, what a game!! I hate we lost, but I can't complain with how we played against the best team in the country. You guys are a machine. Best of luck! (unless we meet again 😅)

[@tnjrcfl1]

@plantthespear Holy crap we called that barnburner but my lordy what a game. Y'all had us whipped for most of the game and the best of ours clutch ending, fantastic ball game. Nothing but respect for you all for real. That Moore game, 5 of 6 hitting for cycle then a double on top just amazing. Best of luck as well, unless the rematch occurs:) ML&R TNJR
