    You're nailing this.

    And it's a great example of why I don't base MSU's baseball "standard" on hosting regionals because it's in the hands of a committee.

    My standard is for us to make a SR though so we'll see how it goes this weekend.

Then those 2 win us the Super in 2 games.

    If real life were a tv show, I would say this has been foreshadowed, maybe too much, by the writers.
    Thanks a bunch for jinxing the hell out of our chances. Now we will probably be 2 and done at Charlottesville. I have prayed to the injun spirits to forgive your impertinence. Hope it's enough.

    Me too. Making SR's is what I expect. If we make a SR this year, Lemonis will have made 3 SR's, 2 CWS appearances, 1 National Championship, all in 5 years. Can't count 2020 since it was cancelled.

    Nailed it! The committee chairman threw out a bunch of bs nonsense about how they made their final decision. And to me it's not as bad ecu getting in ahead of us, but the fact that they chose arizona as a host when they really don't have any sort of resume to be chosen as a host other than it's a "so long it's been good to know you" to the pac12. 100% though ecu ad being on the committee tipped the scales in their favor as well, Kendall Rogers tweeted as much. We just have to win now and make people see why we should've hosted.
