[gymdawg.sixpack]

Ill take it! Get good outings from pilk, gordon, plumlee, self, price....and sit poole....we win!

Honestly i like this regional. Very winnable.

 

[57stratdawg]

Matched up with Baton Rouge..

1) LSU
4) Texas Southern (20-32, BTW)

3) Rice (31-29)
2) SE Louisiana

Thats a very weak regional

 

[msudawg200]

Not a fan of this draw. Especially having to go through Lsu to get to Omaha. Can't see that happening.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Not sure the committee did us any favors. Win in the Burg? Congrats, you're going to Baton Rouge.

 

[o_Dawg007]

We had to go through LSU for the SEC title on our turf.. yeah I'd have to agree. Not saying it couldn't happen, but that's a tough one..

 

[8dog]

As good of a regional as we can ask for. Not really any good super matchups but LSU as usal gets a laughable regional

If we make a
super, we will match last year's achievement.
Not saying our goals shouldn't be to win a natty, but realistically, our pitching is understaffed for that kind of run.

 

[Son_of_34]

...Don't know about you guys

But I've had enough Kim Mulkey/Kramer Robertson this year to last a lifetime and it would be just our luck we get matched with them for the supers

 

[57stratdawg]

No OM or South Carolina in the tournament. A&M slips in.

Rough year for the midddle of the SEC.

 

[msstate7]

We faced USA twice early this season using our weekend guys:

Pilk...
7.2 ip 4 h 0 er 2 bb 13 k

Plumlee...
5.1 ip 5 h 1 er 1 bb 4 k

Plumlee started midweek game vs them too...

3.0 ip 1 h 0 er 2 bb 4 k

Totals for plumlee...
8.1 ip 6 h 1 er 3 bb 8 k

I think I'd start plumlee game 1

 

[11thEagleFan]

Rice could give LSU some trouble, believe it or not. Their record is deceiving, as they started the year as a dumpster fire and finished strong. They have a ton of talent as well. I feel good about our regional draw, as I know you guys do. Should be a lot of fun. Come out to The Roost, I'm trying to make travel arrangements to Hattiesburg now. Can't wait to see some of you degenerate bastards at Pete Taylor. I'll bring a blue tent.

 

[Bulldogg31]

If Rice won down there and we took Hattiesburg we'd be in Starkvegas for the Super Regional right?

That would be very cool.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Revenge tour continues!

Too bad we've shown we're good for only one revenge win

 

[Shmuley]

A suggestion humbly offered. Before one begins begrudging having to face LUS in red stick, one might consider the very real possibility of getting our asses kicked by South Bama and USM. Food for thought.

 

[Shamoan]

Even if we got bounced, we have exceeded expectations. Still going to be pissed when we lose, but I am a poor loser.

LSU has historically gotten very favorable draws. Consider this year's embarrassingly easy draw an apology for sending CCU to BR last season by accident.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

I agree with you Shmuley.....2 of the 3 teams in our regional aren't pushovers and UIC took 2 of 3 from Vandy at Vandy early in the season. They split with GA Tech with the 3rd game getting rained out. Getting to a Super out of this Regional will be an accomplishment for sure.

 

[tatedog]

But I've had enough Kim Mulkey/Kramer Robertson this year to last a lifetime and it would be just our luck we get matched with them for the supers

We've already bounced that ***** out of the postseason once. Would be sweet (no pun intended) to do it to her son.

 

[patdog]

Agree. This regional is a lot tougher than most are giving it credit for. It's winnable for sure, but we could also easily not even make the final round.

 

[tatedog]

There's always the danger of an unknown team getting hot and making a run (see Stony Brook a couple years back). The second best team in this region set has one CWS appearance all time and the next best team has already been swept at home by LSU. There's not much more they could have done to pave the way to Omaha for LSU. I'll be pretty surprised if USM has to break much of a sweat getting out of Hattiesburg, and I'll have no problem pulling for them against the corn dogs.

 

[Bulldogg31]

UIC has the second lowest ERA in the nation as a team. Let's hope they don't throw sliders.

 

[PineGroveBully]

The silence concerning baseball on nafoom is deafening!

 

[tatedog]

No OM or South Carolina in the tournament. A&M slips in.

Rough year for the midddle of the SEC.

The committee has some explaining to do on South Carolina. Low 30's RPI, top 10 overall SOS and top 25 OOC SOS (#21 in OOC RPI). I don't know how they got left out. If a power 5 basketball team got left out of the NCAA's with this resume, heads would explode, but it's college baseball so whatever.

Damn just looked and A&M has an OOC SOS of 200 and overall SOS of 51. That is a travesty.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Rice will win the regional

 

[wpmusm]

Losing conference record doomed South Carolina.

 

[patdog]

Let's just hope we never see UIC. Unless it's in the winners bracket game on Saturday. Interesting that USM is pulling a page out of LSU's playbook and is playing the afternoon game Friday.

 

[coach66]

A distinct possibility

Or the John "dave brown" Cohen playbook.
