NCAA Selection Show Thread

I see no reason we shouldn't book rooms in Omaha now...

Booked mine, 2 months ago, just in case.

WHAT?! Covered our guys more than any other team. Rob interview was outstanding. Pimped the ENTIRE athletic program with mentions of football, basketball, tennis, and ladies in WCWS. Had an LSU guy all but slobbering over our ball club. We play Friday, in a winnable regional.

And I'm telling you guys right now, Ole Miss doesn't get out of that regional alive. Just watch..

Nothing to complain about.. The fun starts now

The most important question? Can San Diego State make Mississippi State work?

Who do we throw against Jackson State?

Can Ole Miss get upset? That looks like a cake walk for them.

SDSU definitely can. They were something like 10-8 vs RPI top 50, they have the ability to knock them off before MSU even gets to us. As for who we have, we could beat Jackson state with pretty much anyone, but problem is, I also don't want to take the chance especially because just about every team has one arm that can throw a gem. I have no doubt, game 1, we're throwing Aut.

Best year ever, and second is not even in the neighborhood.

Lets put a cherry on this year.

I'm not on twitter, but I'm sure there are some reactions to the news. Anyone like to share? Had Hud, Marlin, mike, etc had anything to say?

Just Food for thought.

RPI's of regional opponents

UL - 5
Mississippi State - 30
SDSU - 36
Jackson State - 269

By basketball terms, we basically drew one of the easiest 16 seeds. And FWIW, judging by RPI, Mississippi State and SDSU are essentially 8+9 seeds. It seems like they actually treated us more like a #1 seed than a #2 seed. (again keep in context, this is using NCAA basketball bracket type breakdown of the regional, so no one is confused.)

[TuffGuy84]

By comparison, LSU got the top #2 in the country, a Bryant team with an RPI of 47, and an SLU team with an RPI just inside the top 75. LSU has a harder task in front of them than we do.

I'll take #269 Jackson St over SLU. That's for sure.

You guys can act all macho, but LSU's in the loser's bracket if they don't pitch Nola vs. SLU. That's going to be a problem for them.

I completely agree, For all intents and purposes, we'll cruise to the second round while no one else in the regional gets that luxury. Think about this, we're positioned where we only have 1 game to really worry about to make it to championship sunday.

This is the way I see it.

[Bandwagon King]

If things go like I think they might, both the baseball and softball teams will be the higher seed (home team) in their opening game of the College World Series. Think about that.

Geaux Cal Poly. LOL

It's possible all three top seeds don't get to Omaha. Our guys just have to take care of their business & they'll be fine.
