WVU - Lexington Regional
- Thread starter MountaineerWV
- Start date
Me: "1 seed in the Big 12 tourney and keeping yourself on solid footing for a regional host in the Big tournament was right there by just winning 1 of 3 and we got skunked in all 3 games. That is it. One series without all the outside noise. No big injuries. Just a single series where even really bad baseball teams still have a close to average shot at winning 1 of the 3."
You: "I'll be shocked if WVU doesn't still get to host a regional."
That was BEFORE they lost 2 in the Big 12 idiot. When they lost in the Big 12 tourney, everyone knew that WVU wasn't hosting. If they would have won a couple games in the Big 12 tourney, then they would have stood a good chance.
Stop posting half truths.
EDIT: Where is Texas hosting???? Oh........

Oh so when you were saying you'd be shocked if WVU didn't host, that was assuming WVU won games in the Big 12 tournament. You didn't say that at the time. But what I quoted was in response to my statement which was if WVU won 1 of 3 versus Texas we might have gotten a regional host regardless of Big 12 tournament results. Were you saying I'm wrong or were you trying to tell me WVU would be alright and I shouldn't have been negative about how the Texas series went? Hopefully it wasn't the latter as WVU was not alright and it sounds like I was right to be concerned about how being swept would cost us.
Sounds like you are the one telling half truths and trying to revise history. Lastly I care not where the team we **** the bed against is going. Maybe if they were Wake Forest, I'd be more sanguine about being swept in crushing fashion. But the fact that Texas is NOT that good and we gave the Big 12 championship away to them is the reason I was upset in the first place and your rather insulting chastising that I had no right to be upset is why we have arrived here.

They're an okay team. They faltered down the stretch a little and got blown out in B1G tournament both games they played. I think you have to throw your best pitcher in the first game. You lose that first one looking ahead to facing Kentucky, and it's a long climb back to winning the regional.
You claimed after being swept that WVU "ruined" their chances of hosting. Which I stated was false. WVU was still ranked between 14-21 in the polls after the Texas sweep. If they would have won 2 games in the Big 12 tourney, they would have hosted a regional (my opinion).
I agree. Which is why I said it was false for someone to claim the sweep at Texas "ruined" our chances.
I believe Tickets go on sale Thursday morning at 9AM through the UK ticket office. Correct me if that is wrong. Prices range from $60 for all sessions, to $15/session for reserved or $10/session general admission and standing room only.
Anyone traveling to the UK field, I would suggest not following the GPS (from Huntington) because it will probably route you through downtown, passing UK campus. There are a LOT of traffic lights, and congested. Trust me. If anyone is interested, try to map it out by going south on I-75 (about 1 miles) and hit Route 60. Then get on New Circle Road all the way around to Alumni Drive, bypassing the stop-and-go city traffic.
WVU should have their ticket info out soon

WVU bats went silent for last 5 games. They'll need to heat those back up if they want any shot at winning this region.
Those are reasonable prices for games. Where are the best places to stay and restaurants to eat?
We swept OU, finish ahead of them in the standings & go further @ Globe Life than they do yet they go & we stay home. Too much reliance on RPI & not enough on conference accomplishments
EDIT: Oh.....K State fan. My apologies.
WVU was left out last year when they deserved it. It happens.
That is 100% not true. I said the Big 12 regular season championship and keeping the regional host on solid footing were at stake in the Texas series. I even quoted what I said verbatim above.
Face it. You either have been malicious from the start claiming I have been saying something I haven't been saying or you angrily overreacted and are trying to back fill reasons as to why it is justified. Either way, you're the one in the wrong here both in logical errors and in character.
You've dogged this team since the Texas series. That is the fact. Face that.
You have denied that they are Co-Champs of the Big 12. FACT.
You are the type of "fan" that only is there after the victories, and quick to point the finger after any loss.

Kansas State is a better team than Oklahoma, but that is not how the selection process works. I feel bad for Kansas State, this program is heading in the right direction. Pete Hughes has done a great job in Manhattan

FACT: I acknowledged WVU made an error they were more than capable of avoiding when the conference was on the line.
BULLSH*T: Your assertion that I "dogged" this team or said they were bad.
FACT: I said the blown opportunity likely cost them a regional without a good post season run and it's hard to have a good post season run coming off 3 demoralizing defeats.
BULLSH*T: You retroactively saying that your "doubting WVU does not get a regional" was based upon WVU getting Big 12 tournament wins.
FACT: I stated that Big 12 declares shared regular season title, but seeded based upon the records each team had against one another placing WVU third. Yet the fact that any WVU fan would've felt much better had WVU been 4-2 vs the other 2 and secured the one seed or if WVU "shared" with OSU and got the one seed by being 2-1 with them shows that the "shared" champion scenarios are not equal. Thus not all "shared" champions are equal.
BULLSH*T: You would not dog any Texas or OSU fan for thumping their chest, just as you have done, as cochampions if WVU was in Texas' place in the final standings.

When it is a THREE-WAY tie, and with all THREE having a tie-breaker against one of the others......YES, it is a legitimate co-champion.
And you continue to say that losing those three games was like norm for WVU sports. How much did you post during the baseball team's success this year? Then how much have you posted since they have been 0-5 recently? Yeah, that's a big answer in itself to your "fan" status.
Both the selection show hosts & the selection committe chairman agreed that the RPI method is broken & needs to be replaced like hoops did.
Would have beaten the Froggies once been enough. Had we beaten Froggy twice & lost to the Pokies & still not got in then the RPI method just had to be trashed for sure.
Just prove next week that
Pretty much all of my posts are correcting your false representations which are more and more appearing to be intentional lies.
You can't deny that WVU's baseball team was capable of winning 1 of 3 games against Texas. You cannot deny that because WVU was not even close in any of those three games that WVU at least underperformed as much as Texas overperformed. You cannot deny that you'd feel differently had the possible scenario played out where WVU and OSU were "legitimate" co-champions and WVU secured the 1 seed. Thus you cannot deny that not all co-champions and their situations are equal.
You cannot deny those and if you did those denials couldn't be logically defended. I am 100% right that WVU was and should have been FAVORED to win the Big 12 outright. I am right that WVU not doing so is at least as much on WVU not playing to their potential as much as Texas playing above themselves. I am right that WVU sports teams have failures like this more often than not when something big is on the line and the sports world is actually paying attention.
It'd be fair to call me a dour, negative son of ***** and I shouldn't be focused so much on the negative. But you cannot say I am wrong and you certainly cannot say I'm not a fan.
