You can call me SRS Mike Honcho from now on
@@SRSMike love that
Shout out to Jordan "Mike Honcho" Back, a great Vol and Rockie❤
That reference is like 2 years old
Who cares? Still funny and a great sound byte from Tony V...
@SRSMike who do you think is the best coach in college baseball right now? Tony Vitello is my answer. Cold are the winningest program over the last 5 years, been to CWS 3 of the last 4 years, current champion and just fun to watch.
Full disclosure, I am a totally biased Tennessee fan but the SEC is the best conference in baseball and what Tony has done for UT is amazing and unexpected.
As a life long Tennessee Vols fan in every sport.
This run felt so good.
Year after year we kept coming up short.
I honestly thought it was just gonna be our thing in the Tournament.
But AS SOON as the Blake Burke check swing happened, I knew we might have. had a chance.
We NEVER get calls, and always find new ways to lose.
So something like that happening is a miracle.
One of the best feelings ever was that final out.
I literally didn’t sit down the whole game lmao
Yep the heart attack kept me on the edge of my seat since the super regionals
I was at Lindsay Nelson when the Vols laid an egg against LIPSCOMB which made me very nervous against Evansville and again against FSU. After BB checked his swing and the Vols went on to beat FSU, I figured they were a team of destiny. GBO!
To be completely fair the amount of calls FSU strike zone got that first game we had a few but they had more makes up… ALSO BLAKE DID NOT BREAK HIS WRIST def a check swing he may have broke the plane but he was playing up on the plate and that’s why the plane was broken so early, judgement call and people need to stop complaining. 50/50 call people just hate Tennessee let em GBO 🧡🍊
i had three mini strokes. during the final 2 games.
@@deathgrinderb3284 I honestly need to be sent to Arkham Asylum with what I went through the final 2 games lmao
College baseball is insane its the most rising sport in the US in my opinion
Baseball as a whole is on a comeback
Bro what about the WNBA😂
😂😂😂😂 no it isn’t. I love baseball but no it isnt😂
@bigdadddyd123 you don't understand In 2015 for virginia and vandy for game 3 barely anybody was there now in 2024 ticket prices are 400 bucks and sold out instantly
@ArJayDM yeah, and it still gets unequal treatment for scholarship money from the ncaa
I go to A&M so it hurt to lose at the end against Tennessee, but they are a really good team. Congratulations to Tennessee. They are amazing. And I hope to see them again next year if we can rebound from the coaching situation
I'm lifelong huge Vol fan, everybody around here has said what a great, first class team A&M team was, we wish you all the best and yes that coach sux, def better off without him in the long run.
@@zyguit thanks man. And if the Heefner and O’Connor rumors are true, I think we might
@@SchmidtyProductions27 and please don't hate us if we get LaViolette :)
@@zyguit as long as he doesn’t go to Texas I won’t care
You can make an argument that this Tennessee team was the best ever and A&M played them to the wire.
I appreciate your commentary as a non-biased UT or TXAM fan. I can not find any more 21.15 minutes on TH-cam more refreshing. Thanks.
The camera angle on the check swing was not down the third base line.
4:00 People keep insisting on showing that angle. That is not the angle the 3rd base ump sees.
not to mention, supposedly there's no definitive rule for what does or does not constitute a checked swing. There're three criteria that are often looked at: did the hips fully rotate, did the bat break the plane, or did the wrists brake. only one of the three happened, so it was really a 2/3 chance it got called for Tennessee vs FSU. idk why ppl are so upset. even without that, they would have allowed TN 9 runs which isn't a good recipe for success anyways.
From a Vols fan, this recap was incredible! I can tell the intense amount of passion for this sport from the work you did producing this video. Thank you for this!
I don’t even watch baseball… Everyone told me to watch it, I did IT WAS INSANE
And then, 1 day later my Aggies lost their coach in a gut-punching fashion...
Boy I can’t wait for that football game lol as an SEC fan just giddy to see the anger lol
Love this video so far, great narration, great content!
That check swing is very VERY close. And that green line has nothing to do with “breaking the plane”.

As a gator, I’m so proud of our team for beating a top 10 Georgia to make the regional, beat a top 15 Oklahoma state, beat top 10 Clemson to make Omaha, and played some great games there
GBO WHAT A COLLEGE WORLD SERIES GO VOLS NATIONAL CHAMPS
Shout out from Lenoir City, Go Vols
@@zyguitmy family's lake house growing up was very close to you near the Ft. Loudon dam.
I grew up in the Halls/Powell/Fountain City area and played baseball at Fountain City baseball complex up the hill from the duck pond.
Surprised you didn’t mention Travis Chestnut’s 0-2 bunt that scored A&M’s first run of game 3
This was the first time I ever watched a CWS! My alma mater, Niagara University, made the tournament for the first time! It looked like a lot of fun for everyone
Tears got screwed on that deep shot in game 3 on the finals. Should’ve counted as a home run. At least Tennessee got the epic Hunter leap into home plate.
That leap should have gotten the majority of the credit for a 1-run decision. There is absolutely NO way he was going to be safe except exactly the way he went airborne and touched home. LOVE THAT EFFORT !!!!
UT alum here, it was the sweetest thing imaginable. I was just born after the 98 championship, this meant everything for me.
Good recap my friend! I was there as well and was definitely the craziest week of baseball ever. Being a Vols fan was icing on the cake of an amazing season!
You can go on about that check swing but tennessee dominated the hole series of their games they are the best team .1 for a reason
That 50/50 check swing wasn't the only close call and TN scored all those runs.
Each team got bad/good calls throughout the game. The Vols didn't make an error in the outfield, they didn't give up the 4 two-out hits, and so on.
They would've still won the their way to the Championship I think. To call one 50/50 check swing as the sole reason they won is just doing the team a disservice.

And then 1 day later half the whole A&M team goes to texas
The team is in the portal, just the coaches left
@@SchmidtyProductions27 mb I forgot that part
@@Frog_IDthey took 2 of Texas’ coaches in return
I hope that the talk about A&M wanting to jump to the Big 10 is just smoke.
I know they want to be away from Texas but Texas will not be allowed to pull the same stuff in the SEC that they got away with in the Big 12.
I want the Texas /A&M rivalry to resume regularly. The SEC already has a lot of great rivalries and I think some new ones are going to be created. Tennessee vs. Texas could become interesting as well as LSU since they are border states and recruit against each other a lot already. Also resuming old Arkansas rivalries from the SW Conference.
@@crystalhamrick740 I don’t think we will. Those rumors have existed for years
I want to see Pittsburgh draft Connell. Would be funny as hell seeing Skenes mustache evolve into Connells in a game.
I grew up in Omaha and consider it my home. I hope you had a fantastic time, it’s an awesome town.
The crying for fsu is insane
Bc he swung
@@josephkroger6665it was definitely a lot closer than FSU fans are willing to admit imo but that check swing didn't change anything, UT beat FSU easily in game 2 and probably would have did the same IF we had to play out of the losers bracket.
@josephkroger6665 haha because you don't know the rules obviously
Tennessee was a big part of why this CWS was among the best ever! It was awesome and I hope it continues to grow in popularity
5-9, 4-1, 6-5. Congrats Tennessee 👏
I was at game 3 of the championship and man that was an awesome game to watch! Hotter than hell, but worth it! Even my friend that was with me, who doesn’t like baseball, said she had a blast!
Just shows how many people don't really know baseball. A swing is not decided based on bat and home plate. This is because of how big the batters box is, you could be all the way up or all the way back in the box. Strictly based on batters hands and bat. Not saying this was a swing or not but its far closer than everyone is acting.
i work at a hotel close to Tennessee campus and while i’m usually not at all interested in sports, i ended up getting SOO invested over the baseball season especially since we hosted some visiting teams, i was lucky enough to make it to a watch party for the finals and the energy was insane. got like 4 beers spilled on me at the final strikeout and lost my voice screaming rocky top and i’d do it all again in a heartbeat. it felt so special, it feels like baseball could become a serious sport in Knoxville and i hope it helps college baseball’s star rise even higher as a new fan! :)
I was at work and my boss had the game on for everyone to watch. The entire room went nuts when we got that final out. Such a good feeling
This was my first time watching & betting the college baseball season. Boy did I have a blast. The College playoffs were crazy too. Thanks for the video. Can’t wait til next year
@SRSMike Honcho ....you forgot to mention that Dylan Dreiling (kid that walked off FSU) homered in the 7th inning of all 3 of the championship series games.
Another first and, even with less juiced bats, this CWS tied the record for most HR's and the Vols almost broke LSU's single season HR record set in 1994 or 95. Came up 4 short of a 30 year old record nobody thought could be touched with today's equipment (bats have less pop), cap on number of regular season games and the huge park in Omaha that replaced the more HR friendly park. We also had 5 guys with 20 HR's when no team in history has had more than 3. Crazy stuff from possibly the best team of all time.
College baseball is the most underrated sport in America. I'm glad to see it getting the exposure it deserves.
Also, Tennessee is the first #1 overall seed to win it all in 25 years. That adds to the team of destiny comment. It was just meant to be.
post the check swing rule lol
will never forget how my Ags played. Texas A&M will be back lets run it back!
How do you feel about Schlossnagle going to Texas? Poorly handled in my opinion, starting with his post-game attack on the reporter who asked about the move.
I went to the shriner’s showdown back in January when the season kicked off. You’re right. You’ll truly see something new when you watch college baseball there was a triple play turned in one of the games. And I caught Kavares Tears’ first homer of the season. It was an awesome 9 games
Nah, the craziest College World Series was when Alvin Lockhart and the Powerful Tulips upset Zero Gibson and the Champion Rings to complete their worst-to-first comeback
you win
Nah, it was when the Tulips beat an MLB All-Star team in an exhibition
@StarkRavingSports as somebody who watched every vols game this year this video is amazing thank you so much
@@StarkRavingSports why didn't you mention the A&M head coach going to Texas less than 24 hours after losing the natty
Only real ones know
We wore the black unis bc it was the most breathable material of all the jersey options. Apparently the off-whites, which are a fan favorite are the most stuffy, which is why we haven’t worn them in a while
GO VOLS!!!🧡🧡🧡
I would not be surprised if we see WMU in the World Series in a few years, they won the MAC, and there last game was a photo finish,bases loaded 2 outs down one
First CWS I have watched start to finish, absolutely wild stuff can’t wait for next year.
i've got no horse in the race as i'm a buckeyes fan, but i'm glad the vols won it and that pitcher didn't cost his team the championship trying to pick of a runner that wasn't there and then throwing a wild pitch. good god that'd be rough.
"Cal Stark Raving Sports" will be a Wheel of Fortune phrase in 2026
Love the Tyler instrumentals in the back
The Florida A&M game was so perfect of a delay bc I was with my summer ball team in a hotel lobby at 1:00 AM screaming at the screen
as a vols fan i had a blast this season. yea tn fans have to deal with blown calls all the time. were told to deal with it. so a check swing strike and then losing a 3 run lead is absurd. tn has to deal with blown calls in every sport.
In my opinion the whole series boiled down to the “no swing check swing” on Tennessee’s Blake Burke with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. That and the defensive lapse on the fly ball to start the inning. FSU gets either of those plays to go there way they’re in the winners bracket which would have changed everything. Not an FSU fan but, damn, that no swing call would have been hard to take (no pun intended).
It's called a check swing, not sure what the controversy is. Check all the angles, he didn't break his wrist
Tennessee was probably the most exciting team I've seen in a looooong time. They were definitely overdue for a world series win.
I enjoyed mike Monaco’s crew way more, not sure how other people felt but all of his games were electric!
Jaugernaut as a bg song is fire
the reason tennessee wore the black unis in game 3 is because they are the most breathable uniforms they have
Thanks for the video. Go Vols!
Great video. Go VOLS!!!!
Damn this was an awesome surprise! I thought I saw A&M won!
I’m from Omaha and have series tickets. Literally live for this
That is called a check swing on the TN, FSU game. Vols are the champs
GO VOLS BABYYYYYYYYYYY
18 hits in a game? Blows a 3 run lead in the 9th after Tennessee spotted them 6 runs in one inning. One non-strike call does not constitute robbery. Tennessee was the superior team.
BLAKE DID NOT SWING!!!!!
it's about position of the barrel and the hips, or some arcane thing which I don't comprehend either....:)) Sports should go back to just letting the umpires call be it. But sadly, nowadays some nutbrain would probably shoot the umpire after the game. Seriously.
@@jamesconner3437 Supposedly there's no definitive rule for what does or does not constitute a checked swing. There're three criteria that are often looked at: did the hips fully rotate, did the bat break the plane, or did the wrists brake. only one of the three happened, so it was really a 2/3 chance it got called for Tennessee vs FSU. idk why ppl are so upset. even without that, they would have allowed TN 9 runs which isn't a good recipe for success anyways.
I was at those first three games. I don't know about you but it just kind of felt like NC State was playing with fire the entire time
For some information on why Tennessee wore black: 1: it’s actually the lightest jersey they have in material, therefore most breathable in heat. 2: superstition🤣
I’d be happy with Kirby Conell as the tigers pick at 11 ovr I’m ngl
Juiced bats at Rosenblatt were better than anything
It’s a shame there was never a view from the 3rd base ump on the checked swing, which is the only view point that matters, not from the dugout.
literally just skipped over the entire A&M team no words
VOLSSSSSSSSS forever baby!!! GBO
a&m sports so down bad lmao
Being the CWS Final is the furthest thing from down. They’ll be back.
Fun watch great job. Except maybe that was a strike but what about all the horrable ball strike calls in the whole game, maybe even a strike called that was a ball in that same AB?
i went for 11 days as an ATM fan and it was the trip of a lifetime
and then Texas A&M coach left🤣🤣
The black for Tennessee had to do with superstition, and it's also at the same time their thinnest uniform with that special fabric.
Gotta do a video now on the bistory of kitty litter
Show what the 3rd base ump was seeing...not a swing.
14:01 Kirby is related to La steroid daddy hack
We would hope
Cardiac Carolina went as far as we could :(
I mean look at the where picture on the check swing is taken. You can't tell me that he went based off that angle lol
Go Vols!
Nice editing
This was my first time going. It was great.
How did you find your tickets? It’s a dream of mine to go. Seems like quite a few empty seats in the first few days.
@@tmscheumI ended up working connections to get standing room seats. The first game would have been really expensive. But the 2nd and 3rd games weren’t bad. Two first time teams made it a hot ticket, but it was also 100 degrees. 🥵
It was a check swing. To say otherwise is to say anyone who stands at the front of the box can't check their swing.
I understand the check swing probably should have been called a strike. However, no umpire anywhere in the world would have ended a game like that on a bang bang check swing. That would have been, this is just my opinion, a bad way for such a great game to end.
You're looking at a shot from the dugout, NOT down the line. 50/50 call, not as cut and dried as you portrayed. Tennessee whipped everyone fair and square. Hehehe! 🏆
You’re saying the check swing went, although his wrists never broke, and you’re using an inferior angle. If multiple 3rd inning strike 3 calls were made, FSU never has that large of a lead.
Lmfao no it wasn’t everyone’s already forgot about it, schloss going to Texas was a bigger story than Tennessee winning
Can you please do a video about foul ball safety
The SEC and ACC only MCWS has little to do with NIL baseball isn’t anywhere near driven by money the same way football and basketball are. In baseball it’s very rare to even receive a full scholarship. The truth is players who are given a chance from smaller schools or even D2-3 schools will take a spot on a D1 roster just for the promise of playing time and the best teams and coaches are in the south as well as most of the players so the SEC and ACC will always dominate. And that’s why teams like USC who have way more money and a more prestigious history than some southern schools don’t succeed as much as southern teams anymore.
I totally agree with the take that NIL in it’s current form is ruining the competitiveness of college sports but the reason the south dominates in baseball doesn’t pretty much anything to do with NIL money they are just better.
Florida state was up by 4 at the 9th and blew it. One bad call doesn’t excuse terrible pitching
“By the rules of baseball” your line is drawn in the wrong place. That camera angle is not 90 degrees. This has been roundly confirmed.
Christian Moore angles legend
This is not the craziest college world series ever, not even close. It was a good series but not the craziest
Tennessee Vols, the best team in the land!
I think 5 of the first 6 games were 1 run games
Brother come on, NCAA says there are general rules that consider wrist breaking and going past the hip. Please chill on the ref call
The black jerseys are cooler. They're dri-fit. The other jerseys are very heavy and hot.
The rules of baseball include rolling your wrists. It was a check swing. Sorry about your loss.
4:18 cry more, dont give up 4 runs in an inning
1 bad call let Tennessee win the natty
Except it wasn't a bad call, it was the right call. Learn the rules pal.
Oh SRS don’t draw an arbitrary line on a bad camera angle. You’ll be torn to shreds just like the whole state of Florida
Let’s go!!
