No way y’all actually believe this lol


It has been reported by another outlet that he is "unavailable tonight and that "Tony Vitello will comment on the situation following the Vols’ NCAA Tournament opener."

Certainly I'm not going to jump to conclusions based upon some random (to me, at least) twitter post as to the reason why he is "unavailable". But the fact that the HC will "comment on the situation following the Vols’ NCAA Tournament opener" seems suspiciously worded. If he were injured and unavailable to play the HC could just make a quick comment to a beat writer saying a much. Same for if he were ill (though there may still be some caution to go there considering the media is still despite to stoke covid hysteria at any given opportunity).

Could it be PEDs? Anything is possible. Especially when you consider Tennessee's slugging and HR numbers were just stupid compared to the rest of college baseball. But I'm not ready to jump to that conclusion (though it would be fun)

You have to be a complete moron to get busted for PEDs in this day of baseball.

Seems odd, if it's true. Why test him and wait until tomorrow to test the rest of the team? I don't think they actually test everyone, just a random sampling of players. It seems they would do that all at once. Then again, it is the NCAA.

I almost started a thread weeks ago asking if I was the only one who thought they were.
Players having career seasons. You can also look at some of them and get that idea.

I wouldn’t be shocked at all.

Or it could be weed or something. Remember Cody Glenn being suspended before our regional in 2013?

I’ve been saying since last year, that Gilbert for sure is geared up… not surprised if there’s more.

It makes sense. Why they’re so hot headed and how they just suddenly got soo freaking good so quickly.

I have no clue the rules or “official procedure”…. But I could only imagine how many people would pretty much be demanding that the whole team get tested if this rumor ends up being true

Does the ncaa even test for PED’s? Maybe like the pros where they tell them before they test?
