    Tonight in Mississippi Baseball

    USM beat Ole Miss 5-3. It didn't affect our RPI- and I would not have expected it to.

    This loss doesn't help Ole Miss's chances as far as hosting but they have some opportunities to make up for it. When we play them next weekend it could be the difference between them hosting and not. Depends on how they do against LSU on the road.

    USM has a BIG series for them this weekend against Florida Atlantic. If they win they will be without question the top team in C-USA which may help them get an at large bid. With La Tech tanking it lately USM has by far the best shot to get an at large bid in that league. It would be good for MSU if they won because it would keep their RPI in the 30's. After this weekend all of their opponents are below 100 in RPI and any loss could do damage to their resume.

    It would be great if we knocked OM out of contention to host. Would all 3 MS teams get paired in a Starkville regional? Could you imagine MSU, OM, USM and a team like Samford fighting it out. The atmosphere and attendance would be insane. But it would also be an absolute dog fight - and I don't like the odds of survival. Weird things happen in an amped up regional.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    I believe there is a rule that makes it so conference foes cannot be in the same regional.
    WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?!?

    Im pretty positive theyre on the outside looking in anyway and haven't been in the hosting discussion really, it would take them a really good finish for hosting to happen for them.
