Why Tennessee baseball is equipped to win a national championship – for real this time

Tennessee baseball has been here before. Tony Vitello’s success
is not new. He’s made winning the expectation. In previous
seasons, though, talented Vols teams fizzled before the
championship. That doesn’t mean this team will.


In fact, these Vols are a deserving frontrunner to win the
national championship. Their path will continue with an NCAA
super regional against Evansville. The underdog Purple Aces
advanced as a 4-seed out of their regional. There’s nothing
underdog about these Vols.


On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Mike Wilson and John
Adams detail Tennessee’s path to a championship and why this team
doesn’t feel like a repeat of the 2022 Vols.


Two years ago, Tennessee was an NCAA Tournament frontrunner after
becoming a smashing regular-season success before getting bounced
in the super regional.


This team is about its business, though, and these Vols don’t
have much weakness. Plus, they enjoy a forgiving path to Omaha.


Also in this episode, the hosts explain why Tony Vitello reminds
them of some past Vols coaches in other sports.
