I'm sorry if this is common knowledge but I was pretty much away from everything this past weekend. I know that we are hosting a regional, but have the Top 8 seeds been announced yet for the Super Regional Hosts?

Oh ok. Thanks.

At a quick glance if appears that there's 2 bid stealers here.

- The Citadel (#28 Mercer)
- Cal Poly (#39 UCSB)
And maaaaybe USC Upstate (#44 High Point)?

All we know is that if we manage not to suck, next round will be at sips

There's only 1 person Im looking to hear from in advance. IYKYK.

I'll predict us as the 10 seed.

2 more hours, ugh, I'm feeling very impatient today. I'm glad I don't live in the Eastern time zone and have to wait until noon.

So excited! Absolutely love this time of year when Ags are hosting.

Where's swimmy today? She has to be on pins and needles. TC& going to be right on the cut line. Zero series wins vs tournament teams, although there's a 2-1 weekend vs the SEC at an early season tourney (1 of those being Vandy)

BTHO Regionals!

I've never watched the show before. How do they announce the results? Top seed regional first or #16 first or some other method?

It's all mixed up and jumps across the country. Announced by regional

I may be too optimistic but I'm going with the Texas Aggies earning a 7 seed opposite 10 seed Nebraska. I'm going with the following guesses:

1 ucla 16 USC
8 Miss st 9 WV
5 NC. 12 Kansas
4 tu. 13 Oregon St

2 GT. 15. FLa State
7 Ags. 10 Nebraska
6 Aub 11 Florida
3 Georgia 14 Bama

I think that's very possible.

3 more weeks until I'm back in God's country and timezone.

You might need to swap out some predictions:

Athens, Georgia Georgia (46-12)
Atlanta, Georgia Georgia Tech (48-9)
Auburn, Alabama Auburn (38-19)
Austin, Texas Texas (40-13)
Chapel Hill, North Carolina North Carolina (45-11-1)

Aggies vs Nebraska is a nightmare scenario in my house. (My mom and I watch over teams and youtube and she is a born and raised die-hard Husker) .

Of course the draw is important, and I'd love to see us with the chance to host a SR, but what are the realistic expectations here? We seem to be a good, but flawed, team who struggled a bit down the stretch (albeit against top competition)

Southern Miss?

Last time I checked, we were pretty dang good about winning 2/3 over the course of the season which is what you need to win a regional. Wins dont need to be pretty if you can score 10 runs most games!

Plus best guess is we SHOULD be getting back our best pitcher which is the primary cause for our struggles down the stretch.

We played 8 weekend series vs. regional-worthy teams and only went 4-4 in those weekends.

Weekend wins: Arlington tournament, Florida, Texas, MSU

Weekend losses: Oklahoma, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss
