Is there any incentive for us to try in this thing? Regular season title locked, #1 overall seed locked, Dchloss would be a moron to play any regular starters in this tourney.

    I’ve been think f about this for a minute and let me just say- I think we should go ahead and win this thing and make those slack jawed yokels heads completely explode.

If we were to lose the first game and Vandy went on to win it, I could see the committee giving them the #1 overall seed to them over us. Maybe.

But I think we are locked in to the Top 3 regardless.

Max needs ABs.

The #1 seed is Texas, the #2 seed is LSU, and the #3 seed is Arkansas. Everything else is just noise.

I expect Schloss will approach this just like he did the last 2 OU games. Regular starters and same pitching rotation,  but work in some other guys late in games. Maybe early changes for pitchers.

The #1 seed is not locked. Arkansas or LSU could win this tournament and take it from us. I am not sure how much that really matters. Does it really make that big of a difference if you are the #2 or #3 overall seed?

However, we still want to win the tournament just because it exists.

We have 1 to 3 games in a two weeks period. There is no reason to rest your team that long, people need to stay sharp.

I'll defer to anyone who knows better, but my gut says no.  We will host a regional, and the other 3 teams are probably close to set, given the committee's propensity to keep travel down.  Maybe it matters as to who we draw for a super?

Yes. It would mean we would get the #14 or #15 instead of the #16, presuming everything goes chalk.

But...still does that really matter? We would host the Super regardless. There is no big reason to worry about the tournament besides the vague desire to put another trophy in the trophy case. Which is good enough for me. I would hate to have another team have a SEC conference trophy when they all should be ours.

I hope we exclusively use pitchers who have never seen a start or a save and we get bumped the first game.  Doing well in the tournament makes Florida a two instead of a three seed. After our latest round of injuries and swapping players around, I’d rather spend four or five days on Infield practice (and all our starters and closers rested ) than hanging around Hoover.

Schloss came out this past weekend and said he doesn't believe in 'resting' his top guys.  I can see him approaching game 1 like a must win and then assess from there.

it's too much guessing to know but 1 avoids 2 and 3 I think, that could be moderately useful in Omaha. otherwise the supers match up is a wild card, depends on who the 16, 15, and 14 seeds are (as you mentioned). enough unknowns that I don't care enough to care. as long as we are top 4 national seed our walk to the supers and even omaha should be relatively easy (key word relatively) even with our depleted pitching staff.

only reason to rest guys is if they are fatigued or hurt, and those are much different than tired and needing a few days to recover.  I trust he's got a pulse on all of that.

Gotta beat Tennessee 

Could be Alabama

For those staying in Birmingham I stayed at "The Elyton" a couple of months ago and it was a solid property right downtown with some restaurants/bars/coffee shops all walkable.

Definitely a downtown that has seen better days and there are quite a few old, quasi abandoned buildings in they area, but would be better than staying in Hoover.

I generally don't care about the conference tournament, but since it's year one in the SEC, I really want to this time.

We may need to add on to the trophy room, now we're all SEC SEC SEC.  

Since I know none of you jicketheads can sleep unless you know my opinion, I want us to win this tournament. Play to win. There, I said it.

It’s a word we made up when we were young. It’s kind of a term of endearment but not really. 

If Tennessee beats Alabama there is a pretty good chance we see Liam Doyle on Thursday, should be a fun matchup.

I've never been to Bham but it's pretty well known around the South for its restaurant scene - Five Points South, Highland Park, Homewood, and Mountain Brook all have top rated spots.

Like a lot of midsize old industrial cities, it has inherited wealth and pretty residential neighborhoods.

I know this is an unpopular opinion here, but if it meant getting the LHN back, I'd take Lowell Galindo in a heartbeat...just keep my finger on the mute button.

Plus, if you believe the ncaa sets up the seeds to favor matchups they want, then they’d just rearrange the 14-16 teams to match up with the 1-3 teams regardless. If they want us Opposite say tcu, then we will be.

I have NO idea why or how, and I do not question it, but Chilis has the best damn salsa on earth.
