Case to host over Kentucky

[Bulldog from Birth]

We might not get it. But we sure have made a pretty good case to take Kentucky's regional host from them. Granted we finished 2 games behind them in the SEC. But we won 4 of 5 against them this year. We've got three wins over LSU. We're the arguably the hottest team in the SEC. And not to mention we can totally outbid them for the host spot. Will be interesting to see what the committee does. I'd give us a 40% chance of hosting.

the second half of the season. Heads up against LSU and KY and we win 3 of 5 against LSU and 4 or 5 against KY...they both will host and we have to hit the road as a #2. I don't know if winning tomorrow would make any difference either, but it should.

They announce the host sites before the SEC tournament finishes.... Yet another reason why the current SEC tournament bracket sucks.

and we play at a Dudy Noble. Their athletics website states that seating capacity is 3,000! We host a regional and we will easily bring more than 10,000.

andthe NCAA likes those dollar signs... Now we need Virgina, Cal Fullerton, and a host of others to lose and it up's our spot

One time an old man who claimed to be Mike Slive's friend (who knows if he was telling the truth) that Slive doesn't like the Mississippi schools because we don't have enough black administrators.<div>
</div><div>How that's relevant to sports is baffling.</div>

and "watch baseball," you have to sweeten the pot a little for today's over-saturated consumer. Especially since Kentucky's season end is much like a once mighty tree falling in the woods with nobody around to hear it. Here's some ways UK could really pack 'em in next weekend (feel free to add your own):<div>
</div><div>Billy Gillespie dunk tank. He'd gladly agree to do it as long as the tank was full of Wild Turkey.</div><div>Mini bat giveaway preceded by the rumor that Bob Knight would be in the announcing booth.</div><div>Tickets to next season's football game vs. Florida. Tickets will already be posted for resale on StubHub to save the winner some hassle.</div><div>Joker Philips or Charlie Strong? Tell the difference and you could be entered for first spot in line for Midnight Madness tickets!</div><div>Or just pack the whole thing up and move it to Keenland.</div><div>
</div><div>See UK fans, just a few nights out with the family enjoying our national pastime, then you can get back to important things like threatening local cartoonists and members of previously unheard of college associations.</div><div>
