I think they are all fixed. No matter how many times I tell the kids how to read them to me, it all gets jumbled. Hell, Max was just yelling out mascots
I'm just very very happy that it wasn't an amalgamation of trouble nicknames like:

The dillholes versus the dirty cheaters



I don't do that for these threads. Just for games

Arkansas at Kansas.
Hogs at Hogland.
Gonna be a lot of Hog fans disappointed they won't get tix in that tiny park.

They've added 1500 seats for the regional. Still small though.

And it will be stuffed to the gills if the Husker/Jayhawk game at Hogland back in April is indication. Dan Fitzgerald has worked a mini miracle at KU, not only built a very good program but got Kansas fans to actually care.

100%

When I went in 2012 it was dead. They played the Rock Chalk chant over speakers because nobody was there to do it lol.
I mean it got a little spicy when Naquin got tossed.

Oregon is the "we don't want three west coast teams to have to travel cross-country" host.
What happens if you have two #2 seeds win, and either both submitted a bid, or neither did? Who hosts then?

OK, so is anyone worried about USC?

Maybe the humidity will get to those California boys.

USC has one of the best pitching staffs in the country. We'll likely get the Southland conference pitcher of the year game 1 against Lamar.

We're going to see some good arms.

Ya. Should have gone undefeated. At least should have beat 2 of 4 teams ranked ahead of them.

Aggies played against quality teams down the stretch and fell on their face in all those series except 1, and then proceeded to no-show the SEC tournament.

A&M was rewarded for a great middle of the season, but they had an opportunity to be top 8 and blew it.

Frankly they should be excited they're hosting.


What you're saying is correct, but I'm okay with the team being pissed and feeling disrespected….go back it up now

should have cancelled the PVA&M game. Make something up. The flu was going around or something.
It's a problem every year. Next year just send them a donation and schedule somebody else.

Although Burke's lead-in was off because he said something about "UNC at the 4". Maybe they just pulled the plug after that?

There are a few ways to fix this.

- schedule better teams at Olsen. Or namely just don't schedule these perennial bottom dwellers
- schedule a couple home and home. Would cost a home game or two...

I think Lawrence, mostly because I think Arkansas is scarier than Ole Miss.

USC won't be able to pitch off either. They'll have to throw Edwards vs SWT I think.

I hope it works out this way but I could see them gambling a bit here. Start their 2 vs SWT, pray for a dub and hold Edwards for us. That is by far their best path to win the regional imo. (Same exact logic for us btw, just that I think our initial opponent is a lot weaker.)

Is there a way to infer the seeding of all the teams?

Does the 1 overall seed draw the lowest rated 2 seed?

Draws one of the 4 worst twos based on geography and conference consideration

Yes, but this is the first year they've done this. And it's not a true S curve since trans from the same conference cannot be in a single regional. So there's a little movement up/down the S curve from 17-32 to avoid those conference matchups.

After 32 it's a mix of travel distance and competitive balance.

It's a helluva gamble. May be their best option but I hope it bites them in the ass if they do it

If both submitted, they'll go with whoever will bring in the most money.
If neither, I guess they'd go head and submit bids then. If neither is capable, don't know what they'd do.

Would love Tarleton to continue the tradition of flagship university system schools taking out t.u. in their Regional.

Its really rare for a two seed to hold their ace for the second game. I can't think of a time that's happened. It's part of the advantage of being a one seed, is that the 2 and 3 have to fire their best bullets before you face them.

The thing is they can really pitch and their 2 is no slouch. He's 10-2, a sub 3 ERA and sub 1 WHIP. I agree it would be a gamble, but even if they don't pitch backwards it's a tough matchup for us. The silver lining is their offense it not elite. Good not great.

I don't hate it either and I'm glad we're not paired with Auburn.

I'm still not happy about dropping to 12 but it is what it is now.
