Regional Watch

[Dad04]

TCU finished the season 36-20 (16-8) and the No. 1 seed in the B12 tournament. 7 of their losses have come by 2 runs or less. 14 wins have come by that same margin. They played (6) ranked teams this year: Texas, FSU, Louisville, OkSt, OU and Texas Tech. Overall record against: 7-10 (3-8 Road/4-2 Home).

Very doable.

Anyone know how much money the SBC makes by having four teams in the regionals? I assume it isn’t much, but hopefully it is a net plus.

None. This isn't college basketball.

A good friend told me this and it makes perfect sense. Nobody that got cut or transfered out made it to a regional or better themselves by going to a better program.

Technically, Jason Nelson is in a regional with Grand Canyon. But he’s only thrown 1.1 innings this year. Not sure he got hurt again or what

….So Jay….Louisiana gets a FB Bowl, an NCAA BASEBALL appearance, an NCAA SOFTBALL tourney, and one game loss from Going to the men’s basketball show…….not a bad year for our athletics boss! …..am I correct in my stats?

[Grantvb]

Now that we know who we’re playing and who else is in the way to our progress….can someone skip a day of work and do a full run down of each regional team at College Station to compare how we match up?

You mentioned FB bowl but the conference championship was key to whole year. No other school dominated their league the way Cajuns did this year. Someone should say that on SBC board.
