That's because we've been a baseball school for a while and our experience enables us to know what it takes to be picked to host. We could go on about our tradition and how we should host because of our field and our fans but that would be the same as some school's fans thinking they should host because of the square, the grove, and beer showers. That's not how this works.

It's not totally analogous. Regionals at MSU are always well attended, and the NCAA really does like our fans, and for good reason. Can't say the same for the "grove".

No, it's really not. Interesting post.

This post is actually totally spot on Liverpool. The NCAA stopped rewarding host spots to traditional baseball schools about ten years ago. They pick the 16 host spots based on strongest resumes only now.
