NCAA Selection Show Thread

"Surely the NCAA didn't know about this?

Or doesn't care?"

Yes... don't care. That's how it works. Win more games next year.

That was my thinking exactly.

Miss. St. is fourth in the country averaging 7,411 in attendance. We are #12 with an average of 3,572.

In front of us are seven SEC teams, three ACC teams, and one Big 12 team. They may not like it but there problem isn't our small venue its our great attendance. Sorry we can't all be SEC teams with huge stadiums.

They also don't seem to understand that they do get 200 tickets. Look at this way. You think LSU is going to give any of their visiting teams more than 200 tickets??

You think LSU is going to give any of their visiting teams more than 200 tickets??

Hell no. I got lucky to get a ticket to the Sam Houston game last year in BR. I had to buy it through the LSU ticket exchange and I still feel like crap for giving that school any more money than they already have.

The mount of crying Cajun Hawk is doing right now is down right comical!! Ahahah! So much for having confidence in your team....if you truly did, you shouldn't be _____ing.

They way I see it. ul played a easy ___ schedule in a weak ___ conf. (Sunbelt only getting one team in) Time to play with the big boys!!!

Shouldn't you be working a turnaround or something? Maybe grinding out some tack welds that you F-ed up?

He's not on your side, bro.

2 pages in, someone with some sense tries to restore sanity: "Y'all are *****ing like you DESERVE tickets. Seriously, we're playing on the road - what did you really expect??? For them to open up 3/4 of the seats to a visiting team's fanbase so that fanbase could ruin their home advantage? "

They are now calling Jackson State and San Diego State and trying to buy their allotment.

Here's the dipsihts response...

We DESERVE the opportunity to buy tickets, if we're making hotel reservations, asking for time off from work, and driving all the way down there. They're going to tell me I probably don't have tickets, but I don't get to find out for sure until Thursday? What bull____...

Has this ever been an issue for us before? I never heard any trouble about our fans being almost completely locked out of Omaha, Virginia, Florida State, Florida, Georgia Tech, Miami, etc... Bottom line is the Committee royally ****ed this one up.

And the guy who has a clue responded with...


Here are the stadium capacities of the teams hosting regionals. As you can see, ULL's stadium is bigger than 4 of the other regional sites and within 200 seats of a few others. Should ULL have to play their regional at a minor league park when Oregon State, Vandy, Oklahoma State, and Indiana don't? Should ULL have to play their regional at a minor league stadium because the NCAA put them in a regional with a team that travels well? Would that be fair?

Oregon State - 3,248

Oklahoma State - 3,821

Rice - 5,368

LSU - 7,760

Florida State - 6,700

Louisville - 4,000

Vanderbilt - 3,700

Indiana - 2,500

Florida - 5,500

Miami - 4,999

Cal Poly - 1,534

TCU - 4,500

ULL - 3,755

South Carolina - 8,242

Virginia - 4,980

I'll be surprised if they have more than 200 bulldog fans in the park. The ones inside will be players' GF's and relatives and well-behaved.

[NOCajun]

We shall see.......mwhahaha

lsua&mc@br has been in LOUISIANA's rear-view mirror this entire season. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[RaginScotsman]

Some of them whine like the entitled bunch 50 miles east. "It's not fair because we're not getting what we want!" Thankfully, there are some rational fans posting as well. Maybe some of them will donate to the RCAF to get further ahead in line.
