The common thread..........loving the Lord Jesus! Met last year in sc and they didn't shy away when briefly discussed the most important thing in life. They are real and sincere. We are blessed to have them wearing Orange & White. Now go out beat them tuskettes!!!

A year from now Serrano will be back out west, secure with his sons well deserved 2-3 mil MLB contract. Fact is, Dave is way over his head,as a high school, no college degree guy. If he communicates as poorly to his kids as he does to UTSports and the KNS, its pretty obvious why there is ZERO IMPROVEMENT, and NO ENTHUSIASM in this program. Lose a senior catcher - yeah, that's 'status quo'
Sad, sad state of affairs over there, and this is a true indicator of same........ Dooleyx2

As your name implies that good things aren't ahead when you thrust your post out there for perusal. Yeah he was in way over his head when on left coast right? Rome ,again, wasn't built in a day......If his players can get past the MLB draft to the Hill then we can truly dtermine the have it or not have it. Pitching is the big shortcoming now. How many one run games did they lose with the lead going into the ninth? Enough to keep at home and not heading to bamalama land.

Seriously... If you would never respond to his pathetic pleas for attention he really would just go away.

Your intentions are good, but in reality you think 100% will ignore the trollodytes? I take them with a grain of salt and move on. Might hit 'suggest removal' or just don't read them. This is what you get with a FREE site and some individuals who seem to have no life except being arrogant,negative ninnies.............

Just remember that this billy, who spends his (or her) time spewing hatred for Dave Hart, Butch Jones, Holly Warlick and others in the athletic department thinks he knows more than the Weeklys about softball. Ignorant poster who needs a slap hit across the head.

An SEC team had a QB transfer to another school. It's called news. Maybe that 49-7 beat down The Hogs put on your vawls in 2011 will help you remember.....Arkansas is an SEC school.

And you wonder why the rest of us laugh.

Voloffaith, your whining is painful. Give it a rest. Blah, blah, blah... Now go ahead and respond.

Curious why the troll is on this site. Oh yes to stir and agitate. Guess what I'm intrigued by your ability to withstand the pain of my "whining". You don't read and skip and pain is averted. See my poster name and move on and pain is averted. Catch the pattern? See your's and I know a chomper fan and skip to avoid the laughter , not pain. Have a nice day! Ethan can do what he wants without permission from poster land and so can ewe.

He is on athletic scholarship!! If he wanted to be in the band, he should've gone out for a band scholarship....and saved an athletic one for an athlete, and someone who isnt a quitter.

Hey this doesn't require brain surgery or super intelligence to figure out. He is relinquishing his scholly which are annually renewable. He let coach know when season is over so I believe he is freeing up one. He isn't a quitter. He played through and had numbers to support that. You are entitled to your opinion which I believe is a minority one, but you are in USA and can voice it as you have done. I voice mine in support of Ethan and thank him for his effort and improved year for the vols. Like Forrest said," with players on scholly you never know what you're going to get."

in response to orangecountyvols:

S C,

That's what I had to do also. It was really frustrating. Every 5 seconds, the telecast/audio kept freezing and you really didn't even know what happened until a minute later.

Ivy would be in the middle of her delivery and next thing you knew, there was a strikeout and I never even saw it. Even Brian Rice would say something like "2 and 1 count" on whomever, and then someone else was at bat. Never knew what happened.

At least from now on we can see it. ( Not sure what we'll get with the announcers, however. )

I kept on UTvol streaming(sporadically) and GOVOLSX and read the twitter box which was kept up fairly quickly.

Hmmm Heart not in it....baseball team sucks. Any correlation?

You looking for a haystack in a needle? No correlation there by his comments. Senior year focus changing. Accomplished musician possibly wanting focus there. There is another world outside of _______________ fill in the blank. Work,sports, etc. Thanks Ethan for playing hard your junior season even though heart was torn. Good numbers tells you he didn't slack off. Best wishes to him and mister Thomas .

Written on John Adams: Renfroes make mark in regional:

in response to oldster:

Nice angle on a compliment. From your statement one could conclude that loving Jesus precludes interest in the opposite gender. Fortunately, since I love both Jesus and my wife, I know that that is not necessarily so. I certainly hope for the sake of some lucky fellows that it is not so for the Renfroe ladies either.

He better be first love according to Revelations. Church at Ephesus was chastened for leaving their FIRST love. I said they are not necessarily enamored with those things " as much as others." I wasn't saying they were mindless softball players with no emotions or feelings. Suitors are not on their minds necessarily either as I haven't seen their future aspirations so maybe professional softball or missions field via international softball like Monica Abbott plays foreignly.............

Written on John Adams: Renfroes make mark in regional:

Congrats!! Enjoy!! Prepare!!

Written on Butch Jones stays on go in rebuilding Vols:

At this point in his brief tenure can't fault effort. Yes we all know the program is judged by the on the field results. That being said, also a builder understands about having a solid foundation so his work will not suffer due to shortcuts taken to get the product out there quickly. In today's society of quick fix,fast food mentality most fan bases want the quick fix and forget that foundation stuff. Somewhat the mentality of a former coach here now on the west coast. "The wise man built his house on the rock." Not on the sinking sand. Are we as fans in it for the long haul or short term gratification that will most likely have a repeating cycle of disappointment due to shoddy base/foundation? I'll take steady growth that points toward future quality versus the give me now or I go home mentality.

Written on John Adams: Hurd's commitment makes Beech a Tennessee team:

in response to SevenT:

Hurd balked at the idea of working with the safeties at the Alabama camp. That means he thinks he call tell Coach Saban what position he is going to play. Hurd is a "prima donna".

Just Saying

well,well,well.....mister kentatsy wants to try and make ajudgement call on what he HURD. Young man wants to play running back and sabini wants abig,fast safety. Their not seeing eye to eye doesn't mean a "prima donna" at all. Young man likes totin' the mail and that's where he wants to play. I don't see that and haven't seen anything else he has said that resembles a "donna prima". Just lil 7t trying to get his paws in and stir the bowl....

Just checked on Ladies website and it does say TBD. So I will lean with you if we win out this weekend,weather permitting, most likely we will host.

Written on Lady Vols rout Longwood, face N.C. State next:

The stat man is correct 45-10 overrall record. I'd be ok with two more games this weekend and 2 of three or two staight next. Then if in the big hunt were looking at what? Having to win 4 or 6? Eight teams bracketed so four if you make through with no losses....We'll lotsa games to played b4 that has possibilty of reality. So hypothetically if Ladies go on a 9 game wiining streak they bring home the hardware.....somebody politely check my math/bracketing again based on Lady Vols going through every bracket placed in unscathed. Thanks! Go Lady Vols tame the wolfpackettes!!

Written on Vols handle Morehead State, but Dave Serrano unimpressed with effort as big SEC series looms:

in response to vorangel:

voloffaith, I think we're all a little tired of you. Find someplace else to haunt. Your opinions are not needed here.
Do you realize EVERY college baseball team in the country loses talent to the draft?
It's the way this team is losing that is disturbing. No power and no pitching translates to a bleak future, especially when you give away baserunners.
And I agree, black uniforms are a disgrace.

Besides me disappearing what else do YOU think should be done?

Written on Lady Vols outfielder Melissa Davin to miss rest of season:

Thanks umpires for approving playing at Missouri in poor weather conditions. Cost young lady pain and suffering . In addition, she was a vital part of our offense as her numbers showed. Third or fourth in round trippers and 81.8% on stolen base attempts.She will travel to WCWS if we get past our current obstacles and cheer on her teammates. First up the lancerettes of Longwood..............Some want to look at our ineptness at mizzou and against them in again in lexington and that is part of it right there.

CommodedoorCapital you are off topic and need to put your lil anchor down on an general SEC baseball article. This one is specifically about Vols,Moorehead State, and series with Aggies. Float the boat in waters that are permissable lil cap'n.

Written on Vols handle Morehead State, but Dave Serrano unimpressed with effort as big SEC series looms:

Checked signing class 2013-2014 and six of ten signees are pitchers including Coach Serrano's son. So they see the need and are attempting to fill. Again will all these make it to the hill in fall 2013?

Written on Vols handle Morehead State, but Dave Serrano unimpressed with effort as big SEC series looms:

in response to OrangePride:

Earlier this season I had predicted we would make the tournament. I was informed by many that such was "a bold statement." Well, it's looking more and more like I was wrong. Unlike some others, I do see some good things on the team, but we just never seem to put together the hits or pitching when we need it. Looks like we're home again and I wish it was otherwise. But if wishes and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a happy Christmas. I guess I will have to just wait and see what happens next year.

Call the coach and tell him this so they can avoid playing and possibly getting someone hurt. Nostradamus never dabbled in college baseball right? Many choose to ignore the recruits that were a notch up that we lost to the MLB late in the process where Coach Serrano and staff couldn't go out and try to recover. Primarily the most glaring were pitchers. So the plan that was in place got sidewinded by late signings of contracts. Haven't looked at next year's signees to see if the same scenario might come into play as heavily as it did this past. Guys selected in later rounds still signing and foregoing playing a couple of years to strengthen their positions for future drafts. As I said earlier..BEAT THE AGGIES!!!

Written on Vols handle Morehead State, but Dave Serrano unimpressed with effort as big SEC series looms:

in response to Banner:

What happened?

This team at mid year was in the middle of the pack in SEC standings last year. CDS bad mouthed his team all last year and said he anticipated this and he had a plan to fix it. Here is the plan:
 In the last 45 SEC games we have won 9 (9-36), for a win% of 16.6. The SEC by its own standards is completely watered down. Georgia and Mizzou are horrible. Auburn, KY, Tex AM aren't very good. If there was ever a year to get to Hoover this is it!

Great quotes by the Great Pumpkin:

"This should be a year where I have the most anxiety about an opener," he said. "I've never been part of a team like this. But I have no anxiety. It's all eyes forward. This year and last year's team is like apples and oranges."

"This team will get better as we go, not run out of gas. I can tell you that much," Serrano said. "It's about making progress each day, but the one thing I've never said is this team can't win. 

Aren't you and mister early morning...flatrock just delightful? No. The lil 'pumpkin' thing is so grown up. Yeah we got us another pumpkin now that the ole football coach is gone . Charlie Brown would be proud of your ha ha ha lines. How about Coach Serrano said this.......life can't be that bad that you have to make fun of someone's appearance to be happy can it? His last comment close. Last year 24-31 and 7-23 in SEC. So they are plus one in SEC win column and three shy of last year's total wins. So about the same. Lost recruits to the MLB cut his pitching staff down big time. Anyway beat them aggies!!!

If they do not hit any better than they have the last several weeks, they will stay home during the finals, too. The UT softball team appears to be cementing another UT athletic tradition of frustration: not being able to score runs in tournament games. They are not to blame. Such traditions are, as Hank Williams, Jr. said, a family tradition.

Don't think that will happen again, but that is why they play them....
