After one of the saddest weeks in Tennessee athletics in a long time, we are back to discuss the latest happenings. Tony Vitello is now the San Francisco Giants manager and leaves Tennessee baseball after eight glorious years. We reflect on his impact. The Third Saturday in October was a flop for Tennessee. We let out the frustrations with a major vent session, plus give out offensive and defensive ratings. Kentucky is 2-4 but Tennessee cannot afford a let down.
