About that time!

[messageboardsuperhero]

I'd be shocked if we don't get sent to ULL, paired with the Oxford regional.

[Quaoarsking]

Lafayette, FSU, and Miami are the only possibilities, I'm pretty sure.

[DawgSaint]

I think ULL, but something tells me won't be paired with Oxford

[mstate68]

Amazing to think we beat 3 of these national seeds during our run last year.

[TheRef]

National Seeds:

1: Oregon State
2: Florida
3: Virginia
4: Indiana
5: Florida State
6: ULL
7: TCU
8: LSU

[DawgSaint]

Ha! Sorry TSUN... Yea right

[DawgSaint]

Amazing to think we beat 3 of these national seeds during our run last year.

Was thinking same thing

[TheRef]

Rice, Texas, and TAMU in the same regional. Good Lord.

[DawgSaint]

LSU can sleep walk through regional

[RossDawg82]

Lsu has a cake walk of a regional. They should run rule through it

[messageboardsuperhero]

LSU can sleep walk through regional

Houston's a pretty tough 2 seed- they're top 10 in the RPI. Other than that though, it is pretty weak.

[GreenheadDawg]

LSU has a cake walk all the way to Omaha. Not just the regional

[DawgSaint]

Not Tallahassee

[TheRef]

All signs point towards Lafayette

[DawgSaint]

Sure looks like we may really get paired with Oxford

[jalakin]

Louisville is going to hate having Kentucky in their regional, at least that is my prediction.

[jalakin]

Indiana should be able to pitch any midweek pitcher they want for their first game against Youngstown State (16-36 on the year).

[RossDawg82]

That will be a vandy/Indiana super. That will be a great matchup

[Quaoarsking]

Not Miami. Almost certainly Lafayette now.

[DawgSaint]

Well...guess it's gonna happen

[I seen it dawg]

Ull

[messageboardsuperhero]

A lot of the strong 2 seeds are already off the board... UM is likely going to get an easy draw.

[I seen it dawg]

And they will prob get paired with tcu which will be weak.

[TheRef]

With how this committee has been, I wouldn't be surprised to have us matched up with the OM regional.

[messageboardsuperhero]

And they will prob get paired with tcu which will be weak.

The committee has been all over rivalries so far. I'd be shocked if our ULL regional wasn't matched up with Oxford.

[DawgSaint]

Ha at Fort Worth

[DawgSaint]

Fort Worth is a joke

[Bucky Dog]

Im actually ok with this because in reality to me it is the path of least resistance for us to have any chance.

[curmudgeon]

Wow. They did it

South Carolina, Virginia
Ole Miss, ULL

Bring it on!

[Quaoarsking]

We can safely say Lafayette. All that's left is Ole Miss, South Carolina, ULL, and Virginia. We won't go to an SEC site, and Liberty is almost certainly the 2 at UVA.

[Bucky Dog]

I like our chances!!!

[Dallas_Dawg]

Damn, they did it. Let's go take care of business boys

[Quaoarsking]

San Diego State has an RPI of 36 and a 10-6 record against the top 50. Tough 3.

[DawgSaint]

So let the hype begin!!

[Bucky Dog]

And OM got a tough draw!!

[I seen it dawg]

Well here we go. OM should roll. At least if we get beat in our regional I can root for Lafayette.

[msstate7]

And OM got a tough draw!!

What are our and OM's brackets? Are we matched up?

[messageboardsuperhero]

WOW. UM got a joke regional. Washington's a tough team, but with them traveling all the way across the country... I just don't see UM losing that regional.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We got about what I expected, although SDSU is a pretty damn tough 3 seed to be paired up with...

ETA: SDSU and ULL have lost a combined 26 games all season. We're in a pretty damn tough regional.

[Bucky Dog]

What are our and OM's brackets? Are we matched up?

OM
Jacksonville St
GA Tech
Washington

ULL
Jackson State
SD State
MSU

[I seen it dawg]

OM will roll that regional. And either travel to Lafayette or we will go smoke their ass in Oxford.

[curmudgeon]

Washington is a tough draw. They could have been a host. Flying across the country doesn't affect 18-22 year olds like message board fans seem to think. They'll be in Memphis on Tuesday and have two days to recover.

[Homedawg]

So the rebels are in a catch 22 and need us to win to host super. Ha

[DawgSaint]

So the rebels are in a catch 22 and need us to win to host super. Ha

Ha! Good point

[GreenheadDawg]

I don't think OM's regional is that much of a breeze. Washington and GT aren't bad teams

[Bucky Dog]

And Ga Tech is tough and remember what Jax State did to us?!

[curmudgeon]

Tony Gwynn is San Diego State's coach.

42-19
RPI: 36
Strength of Schedule is 129th
Mountain West Tournament Champions or would not be in

10-6 against RPI Top 50 but those 16 games are against West Virginia, UNLV, and UC Irvine and one midweek against Long Beach. They played UNLV nine times and went 5-4.

We'll roll SD State.

[State82]

OM will roll that regional. And either travel to Lafayette or we will go smoke their ass in Oxford.

Yep. It's the silver lining theory.

[DawgSaint]

I don't think OM's regional is that much of a breeze. Washington and GT aren't bad teams

Very much agree with this....keep the grounds crew working at Dudy Noble

[starkvegasdawg]

So if we win our regional and Washington wins the SHUN regional (shit heads up north) any chance we host the super?

[Dawg61]

Ole Miss got Georgia Tech too so I don't think their Regional is easy by no means. Going to be tough to beat SDSU and ULL @CrazyDrunkCajunsLand.

[DawgSaint]

So if we win our regional and Washington wins the SHUN regional (shit heads up north) any chance we host the super?

Of course...we would host over anybody in that regional

[curmudgeon]

San Diego State sucks. No worries about them. They would not be in he tournament if they wouldn't have won the MWC Tournament. Don't be fooled by their 41-19 record. They played ZERO Top 25 teams all season and only played four Top 50 teams.

The key is if Fitts can go 5+ and we don't have to use Lindgren until Sunday.

[Quaoarsking]

So if we win our regional and Washington wins the SHUN regional (shit heads up north) any chance we host the super?

I think we almost certainly would.

[Quaoarsking]

Having Jackson State is nice. Almost 0 chance we go 0-2, meaning if SDSU beats us, we can pitch Tatum and Gentry against JSU and at least give ourselves a shot to come back and win it.

Do we ask for the equipment back we donated?

[starkvegasdawg]

Forgot about that. Guess they're going greyhound this trip.

[Political Hack]

Jax State has given them problems before.

[blacklistedbully]

Of course...we would host over anybody in that regional

With the exception of Ole Miss, of course.
