Tennessee baseball doesn’t need extra motivation, but they received some this week

The very last thing the Tennessee Vols baseball crew wants coming into the NCAA regional this weekend in Knoxville is motivation.

However that’s precisely what the Vols acquired, due to one in every of their potential opponents this weekend.

Tennessee is ready to host Georgia Tech, Campbell, and Alabama State this weekend at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Vols will play Alabama State on Friday at 6:00 PM ET (SEC Community). If Tennessee wins and Campbell wins on Friday then the 2 applications will play on Saturday.

(Tennessee and Campbell might additionally play on Saturday if each groups lose on Friday. There are additionally situations the place they might play on Sunday.)

And that’s when issues might get attention-grabbing.

That’s as a result of Campbell’s official baseball Twitter account threw some shade on the Vols’ shade of orange on Tuesday.

Tennessee’s baseball crew is already well-known for his or her brash, in-your-face enjoying fashion. Why on this planet does Campbell assume it’s a good suggestion to ruffle the Vols’ feathers?

Giving the perfect crew within the nation some added motivation within the NCAA event doesn’t appear smart. I’m certain Tennessee could have loads to say — through their bats and their phrases — if the 2 applications find yourself enjoying this weekend.
