Alot of people will mention how we were overrated but we as Vols fans need to remember what we accomplished this year will hopefully set the stage for the upcoming years and allow us to accomplish bigger and better things.  We went 31-5 and set a new TN record for wins in a season.  We have also showed potential recruits our style of play and we are a couple of players away from deeper tourney runs. 

Louisville played lights out against us and was argueably one of the hottest teams in the tourney this year.  All we can do now is hope for a better team next year.... GO VOLS

I was reading the article on A-Rod and one of the posters said as long as he doesnt pull a Griffey and that got me to thinking where would Griffey be if he hadnt been so injury prone.  So I looked up his stats from CBS... http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/players/playerpage/7664

and I took his avg number of homeruns for seasons under 140 games played and stretched it out over a 160 games to find out where he "could" be. 

Year

1994 - 18 more homeruns

1995 - 19 more homeruns

2001 - 10 more homeruns

2002 - 10 more homeruns

2003 - 26 more homeruns

2004 - 18 more homeruns

2005 - 9 more homeruns

2006 - 13 more homeruns

This equals out to 123 more homeruns that he couldave/shouldave had over the course of his career.  With that total it would have put him at 716 heading into this year with him possibly being the first to 800 HR.  No real point I just remember cheering for him when I was younger and wondering what couldave been if he never got injured (or never missed more than 40 games a year.
