re: Is this finally the Vol's year in baseball or do they choke yet again?
Posted by twk on 5/28/24 at 10:34 am
Define "choke."
Personally, I don't think failing to win the CWS despite the #1 ranking would qualify as a choke, since no one has managed to do it this century.
Now, if they fail to get out of their regional, that would be a choke. Losing their super might qualify, too, depending on the circu...

[quote]I like the confidence that you expect my UCSB Gauchos to advance to the supers. I'm anxious because (A) it's baseball, and (B) it's not often you put a 25-0 record at home on the line in the NCAA Tournament. We can't afford an 0-2 record after going through so many hoops so we could host in t...

[quote]I have to say A&M at a 3 seed and matched up with UCSB is about as favorable as you could get. However, tu as our 3 seed is pretty shitty. UL is very solid too. At least we won’t have to even consider throwing Prager with Grambling at the 4.[/quote]Zero complaints from me. Texas as a 3 and UL...

Posted by twk on 5/27/24 at 8:39 am
Frank is a good pitching coach, and has been for 30 years. I once got Frank thrown out of a game when he was head coach at OSU, due to his short fuse and tendency to ride the umpires, but I'll admit he's very good at what he does....

Posted by twk on 5/27/24 at 8:33 am
If you haven't watched the video, they spend about ten times as much time talking about who makes the field and the seeding as they do about who to send where. I suspect that the committee probably spends a little bit more time on the final pairings and, as a result, I think it will look pretty diff...

[quote]Whats the difference between Arizona and Miss State? One is on the west coast???[/quote]That's part of it. The other is that Arizona won their conference regular season and tournament.

re: the 16 regional hosts
Posted by twk on 5/26/24 at 9:07 pm
ECU (22 RPI) hosting and Indiana State (10 RPI) not can largely be explained by one fact: ECU's AD is on the committee.
The Arizona deal I sort of understand, as they did win their conference and the tournament, so it would be hard to take Oregon State and not Arizona, but, that being the case, w...

[quote]There are lots of good programs that didn’t have a good enough year to host. They won two midweek games against NC St and took 2 of 3 from UNC early in the season. That’s a fairly slim justification for hosting for a team with the #22 RPI and #29 KPI. They also got swept by Tulane late in the...

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that if LSU is sent to a regional in Oklahoma, the Big XII rep will see that it is to Norman, rather than Stillwater. Sort of a parting "gift" for the Sooners. Probably get Texas sent to College Station for the same reason.
Side note: After looking at those br...
