Curt Schilling to Vols: You're making the other teams want to kick your *ss

“When you act the way you act on the field, and you give every team in the country extra incentive to kick your ***, you generally don’t go all the way. That’s the way it works. The game’s hard enough,” Schilling said. “Acting like you’ve hit the biggest home run in the history of college baseball, every single time, it’s going to make people beat you. You guys should be going to College World Series. But when you give somebody else extra incentive to kick your ***, it generally tends to burn you — and you already are ranked No. 1. So you have everybody coming in to give you their best game. Now you’re going to give them an extra reason to beat you. It’s going to happen, guys. But just remember. Good luck next year, make it work.”

Hear! Hear! There's a difference in playing with an edge and playing with those antics. I'm especially a fan of this line "“Acting like you’ve hit the biggest home run in the history of college baseball, every single time, it’s going to make people beat you."

Far too many hitters are doing this, even when losing big.

You mean like when Tanner Leggett homered in the 8th against TN this year when we were down 23-1 and it made it 23-2 and he acted like it made it 1-0?
