Did I mention that I hate the SEC Tournament? It has too many teams, and it lasts too many days and on top of that the format sucks. OK, now on Saturday they are all of a sudden going to worry about starting pitching with a single elimination game? LOL. Maybe I could have tolerated it better at Autozone Park while eating Rondezvous ribs and Dyer's hamburgers.
Because of what we at MSU did last year, the committee is supposed to take postseason conference tournaments into consideration more. Mizzou was a trap game for us, and had we lost that game, we may not have hosted. We took care of business there. Then we played South Carolina again and separated ourselves from them completely by beating them again which means that we are solidly the third SEC team and then we beat a decent Texas A&M team. We put ourselves in a position to possibly get a national seed and we just couldn't quite pull it off. But we at the very least solidified ourselves as a regional host.
One of these damn years, the injury bug is going to leave and we are actually going to have a team at full strength as it was intended and then we are going to play up to our full potential. We simply are not at Vandy's level quite yet- but they are the number one or two team in the country. That's a long way from where we started out at five years ago. And we are a lot closer to them with a true ace on our staff.
