There's nothing quite like Opening Day. It's the start of a new season and whether a veteran or a newcomer, there will likely be some jitters. For the Memphis baseball squad, which will rely on a young pitching staff in 2016, Opening Day and beyond will be about managing emotions and not allowing any moment to be too big.
Memphis has a highly anticipated opening weekend, facing off with the University of Tennessee in a weekend series in Chattanooga, Feb. 19-21. The Tigers and Volunteers haven't met on the baseball diamond since 2012 and haven't played a three-game series since the 1981 season.
