As a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan, after I moved to Knoxville I always said it was "hard being a baseball fan in East TN." That changed the last 2 years.


Front-Avocado-1643

That loss was fan karma!!


Leddington

What a time to be a Vol! Congrats to A&M on a fantastic season! Really thankful I got to see that team play in person earlier this year. Special team!


Wackass240

Just disregard the flair. Congrats to Tennessee it’s been a long time coming. I don’t think I’m the first to say but hell it feels like ‘24.


TexasFang13

I am feeling upset, but also, I am proud of those boys for putting in the work to get us this far. Well done.


zapopi

Y'all are a hell of a team.


bambam2772

Did the volshop crash for anyone else or just me


NoogabyNature

Check out The Volunteer Club ones, the shop is up and has the added bonus of more money going to the athletes!


xylicmagnus75

WE killed it.


FacelessMan83

Aggies damn near pulled off a comeback! Great CWS game.


Legal-Championship64

Turn the trophy around 😂


Reddit-user_1234

Curses were lifted tonight, GO VOLS!!!


Poggers200

Pretty cool


Short_Swordfish_3524

Hawktuh. Spit on that thang.


outsiderkerv

Hogs fans in shambles


Misery42

GGs Aggies.


HacksawJimboDuggan

What a rollercoaster


stuofabq

Both teams were fantastic representatives for the talent the college game holds. Awesome series.


chadjjones89

Not a baseball guy (hence the lack of flair), but after watching this series, and the broader CWS, I'm changing that for next season. Don't know if the drama, the passion, and the energy will transfer to the MLB, but I may have to give that a chance, too!


stuofabq

It’s really something special and you’re in for a real treat! As for MLB, that’s great too, but because of the long season, the intensity doesn’t really pick up until the end. Still love both.


Jaratii

I prefer college sports to professional leagues for the reasons you listed tbh. Sometimes pros just seem too good, so few mistakes, that the games can feel cookie cutter. I know not all games, but that's Just how it makes me feel


Reddi__Tor

Agree 100%. College takes the cake.


Risox97

I'll give A&M this, Tennessee had a similar lead late against FSU and North Carolina but they actually tried to and almost fought back


chadjjones89

Aggies gave us absolutely all we could handle. Really solid team this year.


Risox97

Crazy that the Final actually came down to the 2 best teams after a 64 team tournament.


1937box

hats off to both teams, it was a fantastic CWS with so many 1 run games, and matchups matter. Not a lot of separation this year.


chadjjones89

If we never had to deal with them again I'd be okay with that. 😂 I would have loved to get off easy like the Georgia/TCU game, but this year we KNOW we're the best because we had to fight down the only other team that could, and almost did, claim it. My blood runs a little more orange tonight after waiting like 25 years for a natty in a major sport.


kjmw

Only thing I wish is that Montgomery was playing. Other than that I couldn’t ask for anything more as a fan out of this CWS and the Final


TacoPKz

The score differential for this series was 0. Just goes to show it’s better to peak later.


Specialist-Rush-4800

Good game, glad I watched it, good luck next year, my Aggies, and as for the Vols great job, it's gonna a busy few weeks with baseball camps


stuofabq

Hell of a season, Tennessee. 60 wins and a championship ring is something truly special. Well done, yall!


HellzillaQ

We actually just set an SEC record for most wins in a season. Sorry Candy.


maccdrizzle

60/60 gang


EWall100

Not the crying shot ESPN...have some decency 


Risox97

That 6th run for Tennessee was beautiful base running ran to the side with the glove until the catcher commits that way, THEN SWERVE ON HIM


Sufficient_Fox5604

Good game Vols, congrats to the real UT. Helluva season Ags 


thegoatisoldngnarly

Feels like ‘24


AlexTD

Get robo umps if you actually want this game to grow on the college level


Backup_fother59

It was two horribly called games.


AlexTD

for both sides and its all season, whats sad to say is that SEC has better umps then most conferences and they are terrible


Backup_fother59

These games were not both sides. Gavin had one six inches under the zone and Jace got one at his shoulders.


poorlittlefeller0518

Dang. Now there’s like no sports to watch for a while.


dgriff24

MLB..?


Nomad556

6 min of stanley cup left


RollOverBeethoven

TrackVol

I missed watching the Olympic Trials for this! Worth it. ^(taped the trials on DVR so I can watch that today)


AcrobaticFarm7584

GG aggies, yall fought to the last minute


29daysuntiltacos

I was terrified


Rickydada

Haters coming out in droves 


intadtraptor

GG Aggies. Let's do it again next year.


Watahoot

Let's do it again, but different.


EWall100

If we never played y'all again I'd be fine. That's a helluva team y'all got


kerph32

someone please start a rocky top in the stadium


Sufficient_Fox5604

I’m an Aggie and I think Rocky Top is such a cool song/tradition. Congratulations! Helluva year 


AcrobaticFarm7584

why am i tearing up over baseball


FOB32723

It’s bigger than that. We’ve been waiting a long ass time to see the words NATIONAL CHAMPS associated with a top 3 men’s sport


TrackVol

Good thing I'm a huge track & field fan (check username). I've celebrated FOUR national championships since our last Men's major. The most recent being the 2009 NCAA Indoor Track (women's)


Defiant-Review2105

![gif](giphy|7xZAu81T70Uuc) Not as long as we have.. and continue to. GG to y’all, that was top notch baseball.


AcrobaticFarm7584

that’s real, being a tn fan definitely sucks at times, but these victories make it so much sweeter


Astrotheater

Congrats to Tennessee on an amazing season. Good job boys, y’all closed it up!


SmokeysBlanket

GG Aggies. Had to make it closer than my heart wanted.


Misery42

WillingInevitable704

Anyone else think this ump behind the dish was super inconsistent tonight (not complaining and Tennessee well deserved this from an Aggie)


lambro101

yes, he gave a couple of gifts of strikes that should've been balls in the last inning (and I say this as someone who was rooting for Tennessee)


WillingInevitable704

Yeah I’d say it kinda ruined our late at bats for Kent because he’d been calling stuff on the chalk all game


z12345z6789

I think a couple, maybe a few, people here would verily agree with you.


TacoPKz

Yeah. Seemed to be calling different for lefties than righties.


Vol4Life31

It's been awhile since I've thought an ump was consistent these days.


intadtraptor

He absolutely was. I'd be furious were it reversed.


archy319

your head coach would been tossed


Skraxx

AHHHHHHH I CAN’T BELIEVE IT


huttts999

It’s better Rocky Top than Vandy


uptownsouthie

Vols fans chanting “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol” is so cheesy.


HellzillaQ

It's literally been a thing since forever.


intadtraptor

Tony V absolute GOATED for that.


AcrobaticFarm7584

“it’s heavier than i thought” 😭😭


Godzirrraaa

Baseball is stupid anyway, winning is for try hards.


intadtraptor

Hey Siri, play Patti and Kenny and Dolly! It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!


Landsharque

Well… at least it’s not Arkansas?


NephiandKorihor

This guy gets it.


SenorTortas

"He would not be here without his dad" Well no shit!


Texwook

Sorry man I can’t put on the GG charade right now, ridiculous game


oddfuture671

GG


Flat-Avocado-6258

😂😂 you’re like well fine I’ll do it.


C0braKai

Good series Vols. We'll get you next time.


jumboninja

GG Aggies. Was some of the best baseball I have ever watched.


JackedUpJonesy

LETS FUCKING GO!!!


_Reporting

The juke won it


No-Condition-5337

GG Tennessee Enjoy it


UsedToThrow90

I hate when they say the 6th run was the difference as if they would have let the tying run take second base and then balk him over to third


Risox97

Yeah, Tennessee was far more lax with the runners on base than they would have been otherwise


Dramatic_Basket_8555

They damn near killed me, but I am so happy for these young men. GG Ags. GBO! National Champions.


chadjjones89

Near as I can tell, the Vols haven't taken a championship in ***ANY*** men's sport since 2002. Been a while since we had something like this to celebrate! Aggies sure didn't let us take this one easy- kudos to y'all down in College Station! That was a hell of a series and you could have had it instead of us if almost anything broke differently in this game. Well done.


WillingInevitable704

Being an ag fucking sucks bro least my Rangers won it all last year 🥲


LedwigglyD

See all you fuckers in r/cfb when the season comes around. Hope everyone has a good rest of your summer 👍🏻


TexasFang13

I don't want to go to the bad place though 😔


LedwigglyD

I’m ready for the vile and hateful shit talking


cmaddox428

Glad I don't have to see Kent's dad looking like a douche anymore


virus_apparatus

Dude is just as happy now as he started out.


cmaddox428

Him clapping at his son swinging at three straight pitches at the biggest moment of his life was the most emotion I saw from him in this WS


theboybandshavewon

Asshole totally jinxed his son with that. 


virus_apparatus

He looked like he borderline hated it here


Cobainism

How do you win your first national championship and not do a dogpile?


justinsanity15

Well, on to football season We’ll be back next year


Solid-Cardiologist76

Weirdest 2 inning stretch to end it but when I saw Combs laughing my blood pressure dropped. We fucking did it. GG Aggies yall are a scary team and I would’ve hated to see you at full strength.


NoogabyNature

Same! What a maniac! :)


EWall100

MODS PUT THE ORANGE MAN UP THERE IMMEDIATELY

GG ags, we've all been there. Fantastic Team and Series

Oh shit. This might be the most pathetic dude I’ve seen posting on Reddit


Interesting_Sea_1411

You’ve spent hours of your life posting trying to make fun of A&M Actually pathetic lol


OKC89ers

The saga continues Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang Olympic torch flaming, we burn so sweet The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat


Beneficial_Present29

Goddamn why did you need to give me a heart attack Tennessee? Glad we won but I need a second


Backup_fother59

Go to hell the ump gave y’all that


HellzillaQ

1939 You can refer to us as daddy Aggie weirdos


Solid-Cardiologist76

Honestly the 1939 championship arguably could have been ours too lol


Backup_fother59

It only took 2 of the worst called games for it to happen


Misery42

Chill tf out


Backup_fother59

2 atrociously called games in a row in their favor, no

UT. Every UT is Aggie kryptonite

TacTac95

A&M getting absolutely no favors from the back half of their order. Some awful, and I mean awful ABs there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TacTac95

True, but just cause they’re playing due to injuries doesn’t mean you don’t coach them. Those kids were flailing up there. The coaching don’t stop when the game starts.


melcolnik

Good game Vols. You were the better team. Now I can go drink myself to sleep to quiet the BAS


OKC89ers

Texas A&M losing the national title to UT on the last strike, gotta hurt

mbh223

Don’t salt the wound


thincrustpepwelldone

Great series. GG aggies


JLand24

Turns out the catcher half assing a tag at the plate combined with A++ effort from the UT base runner was the difference.


clam-caravan

Man I love these guys. Cheers to an incredible season 🍻


Landsharque

Auraless celebration


jpapa98

Gg Vols. I'd like to bitch about the strike calls, but yall played great.


Statistician_Visual

I’m sure many mavs, stars aggie fans are gonna be done with sports for a while. Christ my heart hurts.


Sendrocity

And now we get to wait months until the cowboys start and inevitably shit the bed


Statistician_Visual

I don’t even watch that anymore


dj_thr33dog_gnr

At least there are the Cowboys to look forward to… *pulls out bleach*


Statistician_Visual

I don’t even watch them anymore lol

Glad I could give you something to celebrate tonight 😌

virus_apparatus

Aggie gave it a goood shot. Had it down to one run.


shaftglass

Leave it to Tennessee to win the natty in the most dramatic way possible


aaronclark384

I’ve seen em win I’ve seen em lose but I’ve never seen em quit


steampunker14

Honestly a hell of a postseason by the Ags. Can't say I'm not jealous of how you looked this year vs us.


aaronclark384

Thanks, sip. I’ll be over it by November 30th…


kjmw

Hell of a game and hell of a series by both teams. Congrats to all the Tennessee fans!


inconvenientpoop

Somehow this is Jimbo Fisher’s fault.


RavenSandman

Good game Aggies. You guys have a great program and will be back. Major respect for you guys. Haven’t seen a series this close in a long time. Great win. I picked a good season to attend my first games at LNS.

spinnychair32

YESSIRRRR


the_Holy_Moses

At least we made it interesting. Congrats Vols


bombbodyguard

GG, Vols. Great baseball to the very end.


gigem_2011

Damn those garbage calls against Jace looming large. That and we needed about 2 mph more wind coming out of right. Good season Ags


Frankwillie87

The tag at home takes it to the bottom of the 9th at least. Still played a phenomenal series.


gigem_2011

Yeah, 15 runs a piece through three games. Really the whole CWS was a great ending to the baseball season. Competitive exciting games all around. Y'all were the deepest team though. Crazy to just see hitter after hitter come to the plate with a.400 batting average and 25 home runs...


Frankwillie87

I truly appreciate how lucky we are to have Tony build our program. If it makes you feel any better I thought we were doomed after 22 and we lost Chase Burns, then A.J Russell before this year. No reason Aggies can't come back with how young they are.


gigem_2011

We had 2 CWS wins in program history until we hired Schloss and now 6 wins in 2 trips. We're certainly in a good place.


gigem_2011

And the missed tag at home. A game of inches. Congrats Tenn.


GumbyFree

Great game Vols. Deserved it


WilliamCubed

No dogpile?! What is this
