The Volunteer State: Why Vitello ranted about TN baseball's success & a College World Series preview

How to define success? And what are some good vacation destinations in Mexico?
Tony Vitello has answers to these questions. He also has another College World Series team on his hands. Tennessee’s baseball coach uncorked a lengthy rant after his Vols advanced to the CWS, during which he literally quoted the definition of success from the dictionary.
What had Vitello so worked up?
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and Mike Wilson unpack Vitello’s meandering monologue, in which he defended his team's success, among many other topics, including travel hot spots.
What did Vitello have caught in his craw? Well, after Game 2, a reporter implied that past Tennessee seasons were unsuccessful because they failed to produce a national championship. Vitello disagreed.
The Vols have been one of the nation's best programs these past several years. Now, can they capture an elusive national championship? Vitello dialed down the pressure on that expectation and explained why the Vols will go to Omaha playing with “house money.”

One will have to wait and see, only time will tell.....but I believe as baseball fans we are watching a Legendary coach in the making.. Winning National Titles will be part of the criteria but for now Vitello has got Tennessee on the playing field with other National powers like a LSU, a Florida etc, etc....and the trajectory is still going up for the Vols....

I think Tony has intentionally set his team up to play loose! Saying this team is already a success no matter what happens in CWS takes a lot of pressure off his team! I felt we played a little tight the previous 2 trips and I’m sure the coaches saw this as well. Go VOLS!!
