Tennessee vs IU preview...

Rain could be a problem for this game with pockets of rain showing up on the radar for the Knoxville area. The game time forecast is 73 and cloudy with a 47 pct chance of rain and the wind out of the W at 7 mph.


There's not a lot of information on this matchup outside of the previews of the regional. I have not seen a starter announced for the Vols but you can pretty much take it to the bank that RHP Drew Beam will be on the mound, since the Vols have two primary starters in AJ Causey and Beam and they used Causey last night.

Probable starters are:

RHP Connor Foley for IU with an ERA of 3.71 in 60.2 IP and a WHIP of 1.24 with an OBA of .155.

RHP Drew Beam will probably be on the mound for the Vols and he has an ERA of 3.92 in 85.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.27 with an OBA of .264.

Among the regional field, the Vols have the best numbers in all of the major stat categories. The Vols have a small ballpark with it being 390 to dead center and they have taken advantage of that. IU's top home run hitter is Devin Taylor with 18 homers, but the Vols 2B Christian Moore leads their team with 28 homers which is 5th in the country. Their home run hitters including Moore's number have the following totals on the season: 28, 20, 18, 17, 17, and they have five more players with homers anywhere from 6 to 9. Tennessee has 150 homers on the season in their 62 games while IU has 80 homers in their 58 games.

The Vols have a team batting average of .311 to IU's .297.

The team ERA for the Vols is 3.83 while it is 5.97 for IU.

The Vols fielding percentage is .979 with 45 errors in their 62 games. IU has a fielding percentage of .965 with 70 errors in their 58 games.

Lindy's has hit the newsstands.

They rank IU number 71 nationally, last in the B1G.

McCulley is our only All-Conference pick as a 2nd team WR.

Our recruiting class was ranked 16 in the B1G.

Last years team finished: 99 in total offense, 85 in total defense and tied for 101 in special teams.

Based on last years showing I guess we don't deserve any better.

Help me with the timeline.

On Sunday November 26th Tom Allen was fired by Scott Dolson. Simultaneously Dolson announced that a national search would begin immediately. On November 30th it was announced that Indiana was finalizing a deal with its new football coach.

In a recent interview Cignetti said that the whole recruitment process took just three days and that he had had not even considered Indiana before he was approached about the Hoosier job.

So my question is: was the national recruitment effort a one day event?

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the University of Technology, “And what starting salary are you looking for?” The engineer replies, “In the region of $150,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks’ vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red convertible?”

The engineer sits up and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”

This is an interesting read. I can't agree with everything in it, but I found it to be a fascinating look into the thoughts and actions of someone with a lot to lose who is essentially looking for a political home.

"I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why.

Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her.

By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option.

Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump."
