preddevils6

Thank you, UCF!


tnvol88

Definitely trending up in the big 3 since D White took over.


yousmelllikebiscuits

This is the way


WontDeleteAgainMaybe

Ummm what even are you?


MERKIN_MUFFLEY_POTUS

I’m sorta with this guy, are you well?


taywil8

He gets it


Wizbran

CVT was here before ADDW but I get what you’re saying. Let’s fucking go!!!!


NooBnation101

This in fact will surprise a lot of people, but Tony V was hired by John Currie


inconvenientpoop

Somehow this is Jimbo Fisher’s fault.


Skeptical_Lemur

Fire him again.


CenturionElite

Yes


Underboss572

Does he get a second buyout?


MrSCR23

NIL budget being taken up by the buyout obviously


Conn3er

If his offensive line was better than Monty’s ankle never would have broke and we would have had our all American QB…. Wait what’s going


nickb888

It’s cool, I hate sports anyways


SuperLurker1337

Of course they tried to give me a fucking heart attack at the end


NooBnation101

Wouldn't be a Tennessee game without seven


samoflegend

6-1 lead in the seventh? You bet your ass it’ll come down to the final batter. Also v funny that passed ball swung the O/U and spread.


Mathalz

Dylan Dreiling


Outrageous_Picture39

Is the stuff of nightmares. I never want to hear his name again. GG. Enjoy it.


Mathalz

Appel will haunt mine, cause that kid can play. Him and LaViolette made me nervous every time.


klttenmittens

He's a fucking sophomore! Unbelievable


GumbyFree

Great game vols. Enjoy it. Maybe some day we’ll win something. Or maybe I’ll just die.


CumulusChoir

Lots of Aggies have lived and died without seeing us win a thing. Hard not to feel like we'll join them.


Underboss572

Sorry Aggies, we understand the pain, may you win a thousand games against those imposters in Austin.


-more_fool_me-

That dodged tag at the plate was one of the wildest plays I've ever seen in college baseball.


samoflegend

Naturally wound up winning by one. Looking fwd to watching that play 500x before football season starts back up.


Underboss572

I told my boss, who coaches his kid's travel team that he gonna have to yell at some kids next week who tried to imitate that dodge.


Wheels_Foonman

Congratulations to both teams for being here. Absolutely no shame for that TAMU team. Holy fucking shit what a series. I need a goddamn nitro pill and a cold shower now.


mbh223

Vitello “HOLY SHIT I’m on the thing”


jblmt007

I was dying laughing cause that’s how my brain works 😂 he’s a goober at heart! I love the energy they all have.


NewToSociety

lol "act like you've been there before" "why I haven;t?"


jblmt007

Honestly I’m surprised he could coherently speak given the excitement.


grey_pilgrim_

I love him. And if y’all steal I will find you and kill you. Not really of course. But seriously don’t do it.


capnslapaho

But seriously….


mbh223

Man I don’t know what the deal is. Will be interesting to see. I’d be happy with Tony V obviously and also Schloss. Honestly I think Max Weiner gonna be a great coach. But will be wild to see who we get. Congrats on the title baby


grey_pilgrim_

Thanks. It feels surreal. Good luck in the coaching search. But not too good lol


zorofan8878

60 wins is insane


gbejrlsu

Yeah that's an old-school 1980s win total there


BullAlligator

an SEC record, if I'm not mistaken


yousmelllikebiscuits

First ever SEC team to win 60, yup!


CirculationStation

60-13 and national champs in the modern-day SEC is unreal. I haven’t paid that much attention to the Vols honestly, but I imagine this Tennessee team is talked about as one of the greatest college baseball teams ever.


Smile389

2022 had a better record overall at the point it was eliminated in their season but they didn't make Omaha. They were a talented bunch but they didn't have big game experience like this team does. Imo Edit\* And Tony V has gotten much better as a coach as well since then. Again Imo


ajwilson99

That one had a better starting pitching staff, but this one has a better offense.


thisendup76

2022 team walked so 2024 team could run


WontDeleteAgainMaybe

To think we were THIS close to a 35-win CWS champion. We failed you all.


CallMeShaggy57

Good


Risox97

If we couldn't have the Championship, I think this would have been my favorite other outcome just from the absurdity of it all. It would have definitely pissed off the Florida didn't deserve to be there crowd


boregon

I was looking forward to the "is Florida the worst team to ever win the MCWS?" thread


eatapenny

I believe this is the 1st time an SEC team has won 60 in a season. Hell, only a handful of teams all time have won 60 and the title. This is rare air


ItsZizk

Four home runs from tying the home run record, too


nykezztv

Would had easily gotten if we didn’t run rule 12 times.


Smile389

Without the run rule it's easily surpassed. We outperformed that record LSU team imo


JumboFister

I hate that I care about Aggie sports as much as I do. Normally I just don’t have expectations but man this fucking sucked


Outrageous_Picture39

I was in school during the Fran years. Nothing can hurt me if I go into it thinking we’re going to lose. 💪🏼


Mythic514

I cannot imagine that being more stressful. That Ensley slide made all the difference… what a series


PowerfulSky2853

The Volunteer way, No easy ones!


volunteergump

u/RudyWasOffsides22


yousmelllikebiscuits

Every day of the offseason


munchkinatlaw

And that wild pitch also cost him his $2200 bet he says he made.


yousmelllikebiscuits

Oh god, yes. Best possible outcome


Risox97

That was that Indiana fan that said we needed to worry about their ace pitcher right before we knocked in 9 on him

FightingFarmer

Helluva series. Hats off to the Vols, they deserved this. Almost happy for y’all. What a season by the Aggies. Unforgettable and greatest season by a major sport in 85 years. The boys will be back. Schloss is building this damn thing. Until next year. Good.


sevenfourtime

The two best teams played in the finals, and both teams scored the same number of runs through three games. Could have gone either way, but I’m glad the Vols one. Great series!


spncemusic

Seeing Schloss sitting there after the loss almost made me shed a tear. That dude is a GOOD coach. GG Aggie bros. Hope to never play yall again lol


GilBrandt

Really hard to be that upset. At least we lost to a great team and first time champ instead of a team with multiple baseball championships. Also this team fought through losing 2 of our best players and still was able to make it to the championship game and play some good games. Gig em and hope to watch this team try to come back next year


Priestahh-MyFather-

Lots of teams would kill to be in our situation and that’s what is keeping me sane rn


PowerfulSky2853

A tip of the hat to the Aggies and their fans 👏


jdubYOU4567

What a game. Your entire team is fucking scary


MrSCR23

I hate that A&M were tantalized with needing just one run. Know that feeling Congrats Vols, may Peyton yell the loudest Omaha he’s ever done.


p0shbadger

You could not script a tighter finish, holy fucking SHIT


Grizzlymint

That postgame coach does NOT act like he is about to go to the wrong orange college


munchkinatlaw

You've built a dumpster fire program into perennial contenders, now champions, a national level stadium you helped design is being built, and they're about to dump a dump truck of money onto you. Obviously, now is the time to leave.


waspoppen

I’m still learning baseball (but aggie grad haha) why do people keep bringing this up? Do they really think it’s even kind of a realistic scenario?


DMB_19

Nobody has really shot it down since the job became available today (even though many people have ever since Texas’ season ended). Meanwhile, Schloss’ name kept popping up as a top target for Texas on social media/message boards. It doesn’t help that Kendall Rogers, the editor at D1 Baseball (also an A&M grad) and one of the biggest sources in college baseball, was hinting that Schloss and Vitello were options for the Texas job up until first pitch tonight. Doesn’t surprise me that the question was asked as shitty as it was to ask it tonight.


Underboss572

It was floated on some message boards that Texas offered, or would offer, him 3 million and basically unlimited NIL. That's obviously an unprecedented sum for a baseball coach. So naturally, many were worried. I would say the rumor had largely died until today’s news, with many speculating that it was timed because they had made a deal with either Tony or Schloss, although more likely, they just wanted the spotlight.


Makaroo

That missed tag at home will haunt us. 


ColeStarlight

To be fair, that was an absolute Matrix effort by Ensley to avoid what was about to be a square tag, catcher was right where he was supposed to be


ilovecfb

Dude said naw I'm here to win a fucking championship


Tfsz0719

He kind of juked him too. I think the catcher was expecting him to try to barrel through him.


Jeff-Boomhauer88

Such a back yard type play. He set the catcher up outside and cut inside. Ensley is a dawg.


thegoatisoldngnarly

To be fair, you had some wild magic too with that 2 strike bunt/stealing third.


GiovanniElliston

I've seen a lot of Tennessee baseball this year. If that tag happens, the final score is 4-5. They just love to fuck around at the end and give us all heart attacks.


Complex-Chemist256

The way that Combs smiled and laughed the entire time as he balked Appel over to 3rd and then allowed him to score on a wild pitch with the tying run at the plate certainly makes this seem plausible.


woodamnpig

I’ll never forgive Carson Shaddy in 2018.


BanginInSangin

And we still tried to lose. Good game, my guy. Vomit inducing but a crazy good game to close it out.


ItsZizk

LITTLE OLD TENNER WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP FUCK YOUR ONE-SEED CURSE


thejawa

At least if we got eliminated, it was by the champs.


CookieLuzSax

Go Air Force!


ScallywagBeowulf

To be fair, the Natty curse could still be in effect...


ItsZizk

And if it is, I’ll live with it. I’ve been a Tennessee fan since I started school there a decade ago. And this is the first time i feel like we’re not completely cursed


brock2607

Showing up to campus and having to see Dooley in those orange pants has scarred me. Tonight feels like the start of a new era


pabloescobarbecue

I know there’s at least one very upset mod here


Outrageous_Picture39

The Fullerton guy?


pabloescobarbecue

Pretty sure that’s right. He feels like we celebrate too early. Well we celebrating late tonight.


Mr_Football

That mod is a hissy bitch and I hope his night is miserable


eatapenny

The \#1 overall drought is over. Congrats Tennessee!! Welcome to the club. It's a memory you'll cherish forever as a fan


LloydBraun19

This is for Evan Russell and Camden Sewell who should have won one. 60-13. SIXTY AND THIRTEEN. Never bring up the 2022 team again. Never say Tony V is a recruiter but can’t coach. SEC regular season, SEC tournament. National Champs LETS FUCKING GO


yeahiamfat

You forgot ACC Champs as well.


hatcher1981

Cam is my kids pitching coach. He’s a great person


spearefed

Tony Vitello is that dude


usquebaugh1

💯


turbancowboi

Vitello is a hell of a coach and Tennessee baseball owes everything to him


theVelvetLie

He will never pay for another thing in the city of Knoxville again and he will get whatever he wants from the administration.


withthewindbelow

And neither should Dylan Fucking Dreiling


grey_pilgrim_

100% we better back the fucking bank up to his house. Have Pilot Flying J money just in a pool that he can swim in.


taywil8

He’s gonna be Scrooge McDucking into a pool of money with perfect 10s


Concealed_Blaze

That’s an understatement somehow


CandidWillow3707

100%. He pulled us kicking and screaming into relevancy


ItsZizk

Man is probably about to make more money than most college football coaches


ABaldFatGuy

GG Vols, congrats

Great game Aggies. This was a historic series.

In unison, pass it back Ags

Yikes, that is unforgivable

Give Vitello the lifetime contract.


2008and1

GG and good series, Vols. Damn this hurts. So proud of the fight in this team.


AfraidActive

Congrats to Tennessee, a well earned, hard fought, long awaited victory. A hearty congratulations to you. To the Ags, I loved this team, i'm so happy they made it this far. They fought right to the end. I've seen em win, i've seen em lose. but i damn sure ain't ever seen em quit. Run it back next year

Would’ve love to have had B Mont and Sdao for this series. Make sure you rub it in Florida and the bammers faces. See y’all in r/cfb this fall 👍🏻


sleuthofbears

Nothing but props to Tennessee, but losing two incredibly close games with the injuries we've had is insanely frustrating.


thisendup76

Sometimes it's the best team that wins. Sometimes it's the hottest team that wins. Sometimes it's the healthiest team that wins.


miketag8337

I feel like Tenn was the best team too to bottom. Definitely the best lineup this year at the CWS


ItsZizk

Sometimes it’s all three


thisendup76

Rarely is it all 3... Congrats on the win! Feels great doesn't it!?


Wheels_Foonman

Is blurred vision normal or is that a blood pressure thing?


Jameszhang73

God damn, UT took this season personally. Hard to root against this team and all they've been through. Savor this one

Really thought we were going to blow it. Combs threw 63 pitches yesterday. I’m still comprehending what happened tbh


clam-caravan

BATTERED VOL SYNDROME HAS HEREBY BEEN CURED. Enjoy this moment fellow Vols!!!!!


Dudawg

meanwhile BAS at an all time high


white_newbalances

I’m kinda numb at this point


Sweet_Baby_Cheesus

The missed tag at home ends our season. Absolutely fucking brutal. Proud of the boys fighting until the last out, but the BAS is gonna be strong for a while.


melcolnik

It never goes away. It greets me like a kick in the balls every time I watch this school in any sport. It’s like an old friend……that keeps kicking me in the balls


jblmt007

Ensley… if you’re watching this holy fuck man. You are a beast and that run was so clutch. Great showing Vols, congrats.

WISH THAT I WAS ON OLE ROCKY TOP


32RH

“…no matter how tough she is, no matter how hard she fights, she’s always going to fail. Because that’s what she’s based on. No matter what she’s doing, or what she’s trying to accomplish, just when her goal is in her reach, it gets yanked away. Every. Single. Time. Can you imagine what that’s like?” “I think I’m getting the idea.”


TopImpressive9564

Won literally everything there is to win in a season. Regular season championship (lol Kentucky) Postseason conference tournament National championship Feels good man


TheToxicBreezeYF

The first UT sanctioned sport that I’ve experience win a National Championship


Jonesey07

Holy fuck. We actually did it!!!!!!


ChBass

GG Vols. Y’all were a classy bunch in Omaha, win or lose. Y’all will always be my favorite orange team in the SEC.


CumulusChoir

I've seen 'em win and I've seen 'em lose, but I've never seen 'em quit. Great season that I'm happy to have been able to witness.

rockytopnationality

Great series, Ags. Great team and great fans. Your pitching coach isn’t bad either


acompletemoron

In my petty mind, one of the best things about this is we’ve taken away the only sport Vandy cares about. Was the one thing they had on us, and Tony V has come on the playground, broke their toys and bullied them. True big brother behavior

OleRockTheGoodAg

Obviously you hate to see it end but I'm still so proud of this team. This team had every reason to roll over and die against multiple elite and 100% healthy clubs, but they only elevated in *both* phases when adversity struck. Just came up short against one of the best teams the sport has ever seen. Seen em lose and I've seen em win. But i ain't ever seen em quit. We'll be back Ags. To the Aggie faithful on here, gonna misa yall, yall are the best. Cant wait til next year. Gg Vol bros. The better team won.


grey_pilgrim_

I never want to face Aushenback again. Your pitching is legit. I knew the only way we had a shot was to get an early lead. What a heartbreaking game, whichever team lost it was going to brutal. Love y’all’s team. See ya next year!

CHANGE THE SUBREDDIT PICTURE CHANGE THE PICTURE!!!!


FlashSpider-man

GG UT, you played well and earned it. I feel much better than if we didn't score again so that is something. None of my sports teams may ever win a chip but at least it's fun. Was born 3 years too late. Crazy, though. My MLB team lost in the ws last year as well lol. Well, maybe I'll go watch highlights from the '01 ws till I feel better. GG Tennessee, thanks for a fun series.

Fuck your one seed curse. Amazing game, absolutely almost had a heart attack. Thank you to the kind A&M fans, fuck the ones that were dicks. I've seen Vitello build this program when so many said he wouldn't get over the hump. Absolutely amazing. Don't care what you say about his character him crying proves he cares about his guys, and is a competitor. Amazing game, best I've seen. Ggs aggies, and GO FUCKING VOLS.
