Carolina lucked into a host site. Their 2-seed and 3-seed have to be stout to make up for gifting the program a coveted site over Campbell and DBU.

I was wrong about lucking into a host site: One of the players dads was on the selection committee. No luck required…NEPOTISM.

meh, if you by rpi, SOS, Q1 wins (their entire body of work), they have a better resume than some other hosts.

I'm holding three forty dollar dollar round robin tickets of four NBA 1st round series winners, Njigba-Smith 1st WR taken, married to South Carolina at 15/1 winning the CWS. They would come back @ around 30/1.

Bought two months ago when they peaked..I can go ahead and X mark the tickets and put in my tax writeoff ziploc.

Good thing I bought February priced Wake, LSU, Fla, Ark, Vandy,Tenn,etc..too. And smaller flyers on UVa, Stan, ECU, Coastal, Campbell, Clem.

SoCar nutted and napped after that 2 gm split with LSU at home...dropped dead down the stretch.

Are hosts guaranteed a 1-seed? Could easily see Campbell being the 1 there and SC the 2.

You cannot discount what they did the first half of the season.

Actually you can discount it, and allow the more recent games to weigh heavier, but it still counts.

I’d like to hear more about your tax reduction plan after this tidbit.

Kingston has yet to host a regional as a 1 seed as USC HC. that could change today at noon.

Virginia won the Cola regional as a 3 seed in 2021. Carolina beat Virginia in its first game - then dropped two 1-run games to ODU & UVA.

eta - USC was awarded the regional host largely because the NCAA said Carolina/Founders had satisfactory covid protocols in place in 2021 - while the fed gov psyop was still ongoing.

I seriously thought USC played their way out hosting the way the finished losing 75% of their last 10 or 12 games.

Campbell’s Jim Perry Stadium is a really nice venue. Doesn’t hold many people, but the facility is only about 4 or 5 years old. I understand why they’d prefer it in Columbia, but Campbell has been been making some big athletic investments for a small school.

If this matters, then the Dodgers and Braves should be in the Terre Haute regional.

You are correct, but as 1801 referenced that was largely due to COVID reasons. I don’t know if it was because ODU couldn’t host or SC had looser restrictions than VA but I think it was something like that.

Ben Upton
@Ben_Upton5

RPI is king to the Committee

15 of the top 16 teams are hosting a regional

Campbell (14) is the only one not to host

Auburn (19) is their replacement

John Cohen is the Chairman of the Committee… Auburns AD

Campbell should be HEATED
