We're good. How good is still TBD. Can't wait to see how we do when it really heats up in a couple weeks.
Win 2 or 3 of those series and UK would be a lock for a top 8 seed.We get all of TN, AR & V at home.

My wife has a pink hat ordered to wear for the rest of the games we attend. KPP and the team are a lot of fun.Was really fun at KPP this weekend. Love the team and the crowd support.

Those are good crowds for us especially with Keeneland open. And I will go on record and I say the pink rally hats are fun. And the boys stayed almost an hour after the game signing autographs for the kids. That kinda stuff builds your fanbase.
100%. Last year, we were the number 12 national seed and we had only 4 (out of 10) sec series wins and 16 total SEC wins. All of these sweeps really aid our cause for being a national seed this year. I think we'll take care of business in some of these tough upcoming series, but we aren't going to win them all. Even if we only win 1 or 2, we are in excellent shape to be a national top 8 seed.We don't necessarily have to win 2 of 3 of those. We win 2 against Auburn and we're sitting at 13-2 in the league. That is weird to type. Then we're at home against Tennessee. Say we get 1 of those. We're now at 14-4. Win 2 from USC and we're at 16-5. Win 1 at Arky and we're at 17-7. Get one from Florida and we're 18-9. Get 1 from Vandy and we're 19-11.
So, even if we only win 2 of the remaining series, none against Vandy, UT, or Arky, we're in the conversation of being a top 8 seed with 19 league wins. We might not get over that hump because it will be a bit of a slow finish at the end, but we'd still be in the conversation. Win one of those series and everything else remains the same then we're up to 20 wins and I think it is pretty much a lock we're top 8. Almost every SEC team with 20 wins over the past 3 years has been a top 8 seed.
Agreed, and it's about to get better. The UT and Arkansas series will be insane b/c A) BBN is now fully aware that we have a great team and will show up and B ) those teams will bring a bunch of fans with them that Bama did not.Was really fun at KPP this weekend.

As long as the weather is decent, the crowds for UT and Arkansas will rival what we had vs. UL and at the regional last year.
You can bet puke orange fans are buying tickets now!!! The administration needs to be on the phone pushing those to season ticket fb/bb holdersAgreed, and it's about to get better.

To their credit they have been pushing baseball tickets for the ut series for about 5 days diligently on email and through UK alumni association communications. So it’s better than we normally do I will say.You can bet puke orange fans are buying tickets now!!! The administration needs to be on the phone pushing those to season ticket fb/bb holders
I agree with this, though the best publicity is KSR. That is the go-to for UK information for Joe fan, so the fact that they are talking about it pretty regularly (pre basketball coach departure) helps.I don’t think the administration does a good job promoting the team. A number of UK fans I have spoken with have no idea what kind of season the team is having.
I think UK is elite. Legit top 5 and a team full of personalities who are fun to watch. ESPN is wringing their hands over not having KY vs UT on the network this weekend. UK baseball is must see TV.Another sweep, this time against #13 Alabama, outscored them 23-3 over the series. 11-1 in the SEC. I know the schedule is a little back loaded but it's starting to look like the series against Arkansas in 4 weeks will decide the SEC title.
Thanks for the kind words.I think UK is elite. Legit top 5 and a team full of personalities who are fun to watch. ESPN is wringing their hands over not having KY vs UT on the network this weekend. UK baseball is must see TV.
I think it will be an incredible series. UK will be hosting a Super this year. Mark. It. Down.Thanks for the kind words.
I also think highly of UT (obviously, I don't like UT, but I respect their team
I feel very good about UK's chances against Vandy and Arkansas at home, but I think this weekend's series is the toughest one on the schedule b/c UT's lineup is a beast and the pitching staff has pulled it together. Whoever wins this series should be a top 2 team in next week's rankings IMO.
Yes, 20-10 in the SEC is a lock to host a Super. Plus your non-conference schedule is relatively strong. Mingione is a master of understanding RPI and a tremendous Coach. He leverages the portal very well and will have UK baseball as a perennial post season contender. Start making plans for Omaha.I saw a comment from someone from D1 today that said that UK could go 6-9 through the rest of the SEC schedule and would still probably be a lock for a top 8 seed. I hope it isn’t that close but I thought that was an interesting comment.
Thanks for joining in. It’s sad but you know more about UK baseball than most of BBN.Yes, 20-10 in the SEC is a lock to host a Super. Plus your non-conference schedule is relatively strong.

I’m just a college baseball junkie and have some ties to BBN (my Grandparents grew up in Elkton/Trenton and Granddad graduated from UK). Plus, I do think KY has the most beautiful blue I’ve ever seen. Now, don’t tell that to my fellow Vols fans or they’ll accuse me a being a traitor or a VOLCAT! 🥹Thanks for joining in.
