The Tennessee Vols have had an incredibly fun season in 2024. The memories that Blake Burke, Kavares Tears, and the rest of the Vols' roster have provided – regardless of what happens over the weekend in the championship series – have cemented this team as one of the most fun and memorable in school history for any sport.
As it turns out, perhaps Vol fans won't be done with the good times with a Moore and a Burke in Knoxville. Both players have younger brothers – both of whom seem to be quite outspoken in a recent interview with WATE News' Sam Rothman.
"Mental, my mental's good," said Kendrick Tears with a grin. "You know, he (Kavares) got all of the physical attributes. I don't show physical, but I've got pop though. You know what I'm talking about? I don't look like I'm good, but I'm good, you know? But he looks like he's good, and he is good now because of me."
Rather than comparing himself to his brother, Boss Burke had a more direct message to the Vols' head coach about his own prospects in Knoxville.
"I wanted up to him (Tony Vitello) right away, and I said, I asked him right there where my offer was and when I was getting it. And he was shocked. He kind of sat there for a second. He said he would write it up, and I'm still waiting for it, Coach V."
While it's amusing to hear the younger siblings have some fun on the microphone regarding their brothers and the program, hey, who knows what will happen down the line. They surely have the baseball genetics in their families.
And not every brother has been able to be there in Omaha. According to Kirby Connell, he said he kept his middle brother from coming on account of him being a bad luck charm, although that appears to be about to change.
"My family was here for the first two games. I actually banned my middle brother from coming to any games because we always lose when he would show up (laughs). No, he's finally making the trip up from Mississippi. So, everybody will be here, and they're actually going to try to come to practice today – if they will let them in."
The way the Vols have been playing this year and the camaraderie they've shown on the field, it looks like they're actually brothers who've been playing together their whole lives. As it turns out, their real brothers will all be there to see them try to reach the top of the college baseball world this weekend.
