May 29, 20232 yr I actually think there is a pretty decent chance of that happening. In that case would it come down to who had the best bid package, or would aggy host because they won the 8 seed regional?

May 30, 20232 yr Quote Other notes about the tournament: Vanderbilt has the longest active streak with its 17th straight appearance. Texas is in the tournament for a record 62nd time. Florida State (23-31) saw its record-tying streak of regional appearances end at 44. Tulane (19-40), which won the American Athletic Conference tournament as the No. 7 seed, has the most losses of any team to ever make the national tournament. The Green Wave's reward is a spot in the Baton Rouge Regional and an opening game against LSU. Summit League champion Oral Roberts is on the longest win streak in the nation, at 18 games. Clemson has won 16 in a row. Connecticut is in a regional for a fifth straight time for the first time since the 1950s. There are no teams making their first appearances, but Penn is in for the first time since 1995, Santa Clara for the first time since 1997 and San Jose State for the first time since 2002. https://www.espn.com/college-baseball/story/_/id/37754489/wake-forest-named-no-1-seed-ncaa-baseball-tournament
May 30, 20232 yr Austin would get selected over College Station. Bigger stadium, more hotels, and oh yeah-the NCAA's television partner who pays out the fucking ass for post-season broadcasting rights already has half their gear here. It's a no-brainer, which means A&M won't understand it. I think we're headed to Palo Alto though. Okay then, don't make a shit. We win East Coast, we win West Coast, then we retake Corn Country. Let's fucking RIDE!

May 30, 20232 yr Kentucky regional already a disaster. Zero hotel room due to some hillbilly festival. Teams are staying in the dorms. Fans are fucked 😂😂

Also sure there are a lot of sore arms after six games in five days. Oh well, play the hand you’re dealt. So annoying, they just love pairing us with midweek teams that love to beat us. I feel like we've taken care of ORU in regionals before when it matters, but they are by no means a 4 seed. I get their RPI is low because the Summit League doesn't have much fire power, but they ran through it like a hot knife through butter. They are a good team, at least a 3 seed. We absolutely must win that first game. Our pitching isn't deep enough to get us through the losers bracket again. We had nothing left in the tank against TCU because of the extra games. I think we would have won the tournament had we taken care of ou from the start.
May 30, 20232 yr I actually think UT and OU have an easier path to the supers that OSU. But I might just be overly negative, comes with the orange shirt at freshman orientation. Edited May 30, 20232 yr by 'stache

June 1, 20232 yr Indeed on the best format…. you’re allowed a mulligan one game per weekend, best performers during the season get rewarded, literally every team has a fair chance but every team has to earn the hardware
