Welcome to the Diamond Balls Podcast on Govalls247.com.

I am Ben McKean.

I'm joined by former Tennessee baseball pitcher Will Heflin on this Thursday, February 26th edition of the podcast.

It should be a pretty fun podcast considering Tennessee takes a step up in competition this weekend as they head out to Texas to play in a tournament at the Texas Rangers

ballpark in Arlington, which is right across the street kind of from Jerry's World.

It's a really cool setup, really nice.

The stadium is practically brand new.

I believe this is the third or fourth season that they've been in it,

maybe a little bit longer.

I don't know.

It's new and it's really nice.

I enjoyed it the last time we were there two years ago when it kicked off Tennessee's

national championship winning season.

So maybe the good juju will still be in the building and propel Tennessee somehow

to another national championship.

But Tennessee needs to get a lot better between now and the postseason if that is going to happen.

So we'll touch on some of those things and preview the weekend.

I also just tweeted out that will take some listener questions.

So we may have a couple to answer on the back end of this before

we get out of here before we dive into our discussion mr heflin how are you my friend doing well ben

i'm excited for the weekend man yes i am as well and i will quickly encourage everybody to

keep west rucker and his family in your thoughts and
