[redstickdawg]

[KOdawg1]

Please don't let OM be the #10

[BeardoMSU]

ARKs game 1, lol.

[DownwardDawg]

Nice!!!!

[redstickdawg]

will we be opposite La Tech?

[TNDawg35]

Bet we get FL or USC in the supers...

[redstickdawg]

La Tech - Upig

[BeardoMSU]

will we be opposite La Tech?

They're matched with Ark

[BeardoMSU]

Bet we get FL or USC in the supers...

I'd take SC.

[TNDawg35]

Bama gets in at La Tech

[TNDawg35]

Please no Duke...

[Saltydog]

They can't let the SEC dominate. I'm thinking it will be Ole Miss as well.

[redstickdawg]

upiss ve arizona

[BeardoMSU]

Arizona paired with Ole Miss.

[KOdawg1]

Whew OM is the 12

[DownwardDawg]

Ole miss Wow

FSU and USM

[BeardoMSU]

OM gets Florida State, Southern Miss, and se Missouri, lol. Ouch.

[KOdawg1]

Damn OM got a terrible draw. FSU and USM. Ouch

[redstickdawg]

USM in oxford will be interesting

[TNDawg35]

I’m gets SEMSU, FSU, and Southern Miss...

[TNDawg35]

Damn OM got a terrible draw. FSU and USM. Ouch

No way they would make it through Arizona anyway..

[KOdawg1]

I think we'll get paired with Notre Dame

[Saltydog]

Ga Tech, FSU and USM off the board. Who is going to be the two seed? Miami?

[redstickdawg]

I think we'll get paired with Notre Dame

that would be great for us, better than other options

[CadaverDawg]

We get Notre Dame and I Love it

[CadaverDawg]

Ga Tech, FSU and USM off the board. Who is going to be the two seed? Miami?

Yikes if so. Miami has talent, underachieved in my opinion

[KOdawg1]

Please don't put Duke as our 2 seed.

[TNDawg35]

Ga Tech, FSU and USM off the board. Who is going to be the two seed? Miami?

Duke still sitting there. Miami also.

[CadaverDawg]

We May get Fairfield

[SteelCurtain74]

I think we get Duke or Pitt as our 2. Hope I'm wrong

[KOdawg1]

We May get Fairfield

I'm good with that. I just don't want Duke as our 2. They're hot.

[CadaverDawg]

I'd prefer Miami over Duke as our 2 seed. If we can avoid both, it's a homerun

[KOdawg1]

Tulane is still out there as well

[TNDawg35]

Wonder is LSU is getting in?

[KOdawg1]

Tulane is still out there as well

Nvm their RPI is 87. They won't even make it

[Cowbell]

Tulane is still out there as well

I would love Tulane... that would fire up our guys for sure. No doubt they would be ready to play.

[Saltydog]

It's got to be ND, Duke or Miami.....Possibly Old Dominion?

[redstickdawg]

UT gets Southern

[KOdawg1]

Southern and Fairfield to Texas. Well..

[Cowbell]

Wonder is LSU is getting in?

Watch them wind up in our regional. I just don't want a bunch of purple and gold to show up at our place.

[redstickdawg]

we will get a strong regional as #7, SEC tourn mattered

[Cowbell]

Texas needs all the help they can get and the committee knows it.

[No BS Dawg]

Jacksonville as our 4?

[redstickdawg]

we get ND, great

[DownwardDawg]

Texas will certainly be in a Super

[KOdawg1]

ND is officially the 10. That's a good draw for a super

[StarkVegasSteve]

Looks like Duke will be our #2

[Cowbell]

Miami off the board

[BeardoMSU]

ND is officially the 10. That's a good draw for a super

Yeah!

[msstate7]

we will get a strong regional as #7, SEC tourn mattered

We got run ruled twice. I think rpi is what mattered

[DownwardDawg]

ND is officially the 10. That's a good draw for a super

I agree

[KOdawg1]

That's a tough 4

[BeardoMSU]

Samford, Campbell, and VCU. Woah.

[DownwardDawg]

Thoughts?????

[TNDawg35]

Holy hell... I don’t think we could have asked for a better draw..

[mparkerfd20]

Wow we got a great draw all the way to Omaha

[Really Clark?]

Paired with ND and not a bad draw in regional. VCU is a hot hot team though. But I like it

[Cowbell]

Samford, Campbell, and VCU. Woah.

We may have the easiest route to Omaha

[msstate7]

Samford, Campbell, and VCU. Woah.

Our bracket? Remember the whipping Samford put on us when Stratton was here?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Well... we should be strongly favored and Notre Dame is not that bad a draw

Take care of business and we should be in Omaha.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen must have done this. Holy shit we have no excuse not to get to a SR and probably Omaha, let's be honest

[KOdawg1]

Thoughts?????

It's an amazing draw

[BeardoMSU]

Our bracket? Remember the whipping Samford put on us when Stratton was here?

I do. Plus VCU hasn't lost a game since preCovid, apparently, lol.

[StarkVegasSteve]

A little surprised LSU got in.

[TNDawg35]

VCU had played absolutely no one. A lot of 4 game series against Dayton and William and Mary like teams... We should be seeing Notre Dame in the super and should beat them.. We couldn’t have paid for a better draw and Ole Miss getting a harder one..

[The Federalist Engineer]

Our bracket? Remember the whipping Samford put on us when Stratton was here?

1-5, we could not hit. Got to respect everybody. It will help that we are coming of two brutal rapes, UF and UT

In 2012, we also won the SECT... emotionally spent team, was the prevailing conjecture in 2012

[Todd4State]

Thoughts?????

Certainly didn't expect to get three mid majors in our regional.

[maroonmania]

Wow we got a great draw all the way to Omaha

I agree. There are no easy draws this time of year. But given our finish with Mizzou and the SEC tourney I think we came out smelling like a rose. If we don't make it to Omaha we certainly can't blame anyone but ourselves.

[Todd4State]

A little surprised LSU got in.

Why? They're LSU. Cohen also could have caught some flack from the SEC if they didn't get in.

[Cooterpoot]

I thought 6/7 seed and that's how it fell. But this draw??? Holy shit it would be hard to be better!
Time to change the oil in the RV and get ready for the long drive to Nebraska.

[BeardoMSU]

Hope the ass whippings week took in the tourney jolted our killer instinct back. If we show up, this should be a velvet-roped path straight to OMAHA.

[maroonmania]

Our bracket? Remember the whipping Samford put on us when Stratton was here?

I think MacLeod will now definitely be pitching game 1. Don't think you can take Samford lightly.

[Cowbell]

I think MacLeod will now definitely be pitching game 1. Don't think you can take Samford lightly.

This is not the same Samford team.

[maroonmania]

Why? They're LSU. Cohen also could have caught some flack from the SEC if they didn't get in.

Heck, Alabama got in with only 12 regular season SEC wins. Very surprising.

[TNDawg35]

I think MacLeod will now definitely be pitching game 1. Don't think you can take Samford lightly.

No way man. Samford is still Samford. The same team we beat 10-2. I throw Harding and then we literally have Bednar and Mac for 2 and 3...

[maroonmania]

This is not the same Samford team.

What 3rd starter of ours would you trust against anyone other than a SWAC school?

[Homedawg]

No way man. Samford is still Samford. The same team we beat 10-2. I throw Harding and then we literally have Bednar and Mac for 2 and 3...

We gonna pitch Macleod

[maroonmania]

No way man. Samford is still Samford. The same team we beat 10-2. I throw Harding and then we literally have Bednar and Mac for 2 and 3...

Right now I probably trust Harding over MacLeod and would rather have him available for Game 3. I think our best chance to win Game 2 is with Bednar. Will be an interesting decision though.

[Really Clark?]

What 3rd starter of ours would you trust against anyone other than a SWAC school?

The staff that beat them in March? Harding started then we threw the pen.

I don’t think that is what we will do but if we can’t staff beat Samford, we are done

[msstate7]

We gonna pitch Macleod

And it's the right move. It would be huge if we can win that game without using sims or Preston

[TNDawg35]

The staff that beat them in March? Harding started then we threw the pen.

I don’t think that is what we will do but if we can’t staff beat Samford, we are done

THIS! We beat them with a damn bullpen game. All y’all wanting to throw Mac, who the jell you planning on throwing game 3 against a better team?

[Cowbell]

What 3rd starter of ours would you trust against anyone other than a SWAC school?

Harding, who beat them earlier in the year (2 runs). They are 1-9 against SEC opponents this year. Alabama and A&M beat the brakes off them.

[BigEasyDawg]

Not gonna happen but there is potential to have 7 SEC teams in Omaha.

[Cowbell]

And it's the right move. It would be huge if we can win that game without using sims or Preston

If we have to use Sims in game 1, we will not be making a Nebraska rode trip this year.

[Cowbell]

Not gonna happen but there is potential to have 7 SEC teams in Omaha.

florida will knock off texas

[Cooterpoot]

We've got Harding and Fristoe we can use game one. We saved arms all season for this. No point in throwing our best.

[maroonmania]

Harding, who beat them earlier in the year (2 runs). They are 1-9 against SEC opponents this year. Alabama and A&M beat the brakes off them.

That was 2 months ago and I have no idea who they pitched. Real key is who is their #1 and how good is he? Hard to compare midweek game results unless the pitched their top guy.

[maroonmania]

Harding, who beat them earlier in the year (2 runs). They are 1-9 against SEC opponents this year. Alabama and A&M beat the brakes off them.

Like I said, if you pitch MacLeod in Game 3 versus Harding have you really helped yourself? Harding has pitched about as well or better than MacLeod lately.

[Cowbell]

That was 2 months ago and I have no idea who they pitched. Real key is who is their #1 and how good is he? Hard to compare midweek game results unless the pitched their top guy.

It looks like they have been giving up a lot of runs on friday guys. Really a lot of runs all together.

[trob115]

No way Mac throws game 1. Harding or Fristoe will start

[msstate7]

If we have to use Sims in game 1, we will not be making a Nebraska rode trip this year.

I hate definitive statements like this. We could win game tight game 1 against samford's best and then roll a 2-3 seed's #2

[Really Clark?]

That was 2 months ago and I have no idea who they pitched. Real key is who is their #1 and how good is he? Hard to compare midweek game results unless the pitched their top guy.

Their 3 top starters have ERA?s over 5, over 5 and over 7

[The Federalist Engineer]

florida will knock off texas

Texas is probably thinking the same, SEC teams messed with Texas’ best 3 teams quite comfortably in Arlington

[BeardoMSU]

Who would be on our side in Omaha?

[Really Clark?]

Like I said, if you pitch MacLeod in Game 3 versus Harding have you really helped yourself? Harding has pitched about as well or better than MacLeod lately.

In SEC starts? That?s what you have to look at not Hardings relief innings. There is a big difference. Now I personally would consider not starting Mac the first game but I don?t think the coaches will and I understand the thought on that. But we will have to have a pen game anyway, hopefully our path is easy enough that it doesn?t matter.

[Cowbell]

I hate definitive statements like this. We could win game tight game 1 against samford's best and then roll a 2-3 seed's #2

Its not so much a definitive statement, but a measure of whether our guys show up to play. Just my opinion. I feel like we will know pretty quick on whether or not we are gonna take care of business. Again, just my opinion.

And VCU has some pitching depth as they have been playing 4 game series with some low run totals on games 3-4. We will have to stretch our better pitchers.

[TNDawg35]

Like I said, VCU has been playing Dayton and William and Mary types...

[Cowbell]

Who would be on our side in Omaha?

If I read the Bracket correctly- Arkansas, Texas/Florida, and Stanford/Texas Tech. I would rather have Arkansas on our side of the bracket than have to face them in the Championship round.

[Homedawg]

No way Mac throws game 1. Harding or Fristoe will start

I'll take that wager

[msstate7]

Their 3 top starters have ERA?s over 5, over 5 and over 7

Yikes.

[Cowbell]

Like I said, VCU has been playing Dayton and William and Mary types...

They have also beaten Old Dominion (#11), Virginia, Central Michigan, and Liberty - all Regional teams.

[Cowbell]

Yikes.

Now how do you feel if we have to use Sims Game 1?

[Really Clark?]

Like I said, VCU has been playing Dayton and William and Mary types...

They also beat Virginia in their 2 games this year, split with VT and split with Old Dominion. They can score some runs as well.

[msstate7]

Now how do you feel if we have to use Sims Game 1?

The same. Use him if you have to, but I really hope we don't have to

[Rex54]

As I have been saying, 0-2 Hoover and well rested and focused. Great draw for us.

[msstate7]

Game times?

[Cowbell]

As I have been saying, 0-2 Hoover and well rested and focused. Great draw for us.

If Lemonis "strategically" did this, he is smarter than all of us.

[WinningIsRelentless]

If Lemonis "strategically" did this, he is smarter than all of us.

I would say either way he is smarter than all of us in baseball.

[Hambone]

Game times?

Game 1 Friday at 2:00. Streaming looks like

[mparkerfd20]

If I read the Bracket correctly- Arkansas, Texas/Florida, and Stanford/Texas Tech. I would rather have Arkansas on our side of the bracket than have to face them in the Championship round.

No. Our side is Texas, TCU, MSU, and Tennessee regionals.

[KOdawg1]

No. Our side is Texas, TCU, MSU, and Tennessee regionals.
VERY manageable. You avoid Ark or Vandy until the championship series.

[Jack Lambert]

We gonna pitch Macleod

Start any one of them but have Macleod ready to go if he gets in trouble. Hell we got to the championship game at the CWS starting the closers.

[BeardoMSU]

VERY manageable. You avoid Ark or Vandy until the championship series.

This would be amazing.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Avoiding Arkansas and Vandy is certainly huge because those are the two teams I worry the most about. I don?t think Notre Dame will be as easy as some people think though. Our regional looks to be a great draw, but our team can?t take anyone for granted.

[Homedawg]

Our regional isn't as east at appears on the surface. Should we win. Sure. But it's no cake walk like people here make it out to be

[CadaverDawg]

We're Mississippi State fans....if any of us are thinking we will easily walk through a Regional they should have their head examined at this point. Nothing ever comes easy for MSU, and it's always when we're favored that we fail the hardest. I hope somehow our guys come out pissed off after the last two performances and dominate from first pitch to last, but I've seen this movie so many times before, and it will not be easy

[AlSwearengen]

Our regional isn't as east at appears on the surface. Should we win. Sure. But it's no cake walk like people here make it out to be

One hot opposing pitcher and a defensive meltdown (which we are very capable of) and just about anyone is dangerous at regional time. After the ass raping that we took in Birmingham, we should find out a lot about the mental makeup of this team. If we get thru the regional fairly easily, I will feel a lot better going into a super.

[CadaverDawg]

I am thoroughly enjoying the Ole Miss meltdown right now. They are now saying Cohen is responsible for not only their tough draw, but he strategically gave Tennessee a tough draw too so they would be eliminated from our side of the CWS bracket after they whipped us in the SECT. Haha, you can't make it up, they're convinced Cohen created the bracket by himself. Sounds like they aren't too confident in their own path.

I would encourage them. Tell them they're correct... when you reach our status in baseball, you have clout

[Commercecomet24]

This. I'd spin this to them every dang day!

The funny thing is that Cohen had to excuse himself from the room when we were discussed. The other people on the committee had to do the same when their team was discussed. But by the way the Rebs are making it sound, Cohen held the room at gunpoint until they made sure we had the easiest path to and in Omaha. It's hilarious that they think 4 games should erase a season worth of results. But this is the same fanbase that willingly pays Yancy Porter so nothing they say or do surprises me.

[Homedawg]

Well done

Not only that, but the average RPI of our regional is higher than theirs, even without us, but no....don't let facts get in the way of your pissy pity party. Par for the course for the Confederates, I suppose...since 1865 they've been making excuses for blowout loses.
