We heard all this with the football team. Can't beat Clemson without Hendon Hooker, etc. etc.

That's why you play the game. This team has great pitching and hitters. We are as good as anyone in the country-- We are rested. The only thing that bugs me is these rumors about Mizzou taking our coach.

Bwahahaha. Right. CTV wants to coach in Mizz. Lol

You can’t be serious? Playing the #4 overall seed in your REGIONAL as someone who could have hosted is the best path? We got screwed. Again. Everyone is already calling this region the Region of Death. Just like last year.

You’re not serious. SC with Campbell and NC State is worse…I live in Greenville and am engaged to a Clemson grad, I’ve watched many Clemson games. They do not scare me at all. Their pitching isn’t SEC strong.

4-12 on the road
1-2 on neutral site.
Series losses to bad Mizzou and Georgia teams. Got bounced by lower seeded Tx AM in conf tournament.
This team doesnt have a good resume.

They aren’t that low of a 2 seed though.

Iowa is going to Indiana State as a 2 and has 6 Q1 wins and 19 Q4 wins.

It is what it is. Team just needs to take it as motivation. They have the talent to make a run, they just need it all to come together. Not impossible, not even improbable.

Eh, the AA doesnt seed that way. They try to keep teams closer to home for the early rounds. Theres always an exception or two, TAMU to Stanford, but look at the locations of teams and their travel distance.

I am not going to argue with you. SP if you think Vols resume wasn't good. Bad road record is true, but two things can be true. They're not mutually exclusive. Vandy also had mediocre road wins, and Arky got swept by the Bulldogs also. Didn't seem to hurt either of them. It's apparent the committee is pushing non-SEC programs trying to "grow" the sport outside of the SEC blueprint. We were one of the hottest SEC teams down the stretch.

Speaks of over-confidence. Clemson has won something like 16 straight games. They have a lethal lineup that can mash with the best of them. I don’t think you’re taking them seriously enough. Hot is hot and we are 4-12 on the road. It’s not a good matchup.

I don’t have to take them seriously. I ain’t playing…but look at their schedule, who they’ve lost to and who they’ve beaten.

Outside of Indiana State or Coastal, it’s the best possible regional.

You’re under-valuing the ACC. But, whatever. This is a brutal regional for us. I would have preferred Coral Gables over it. Hell, I also would have preferred to be shipped out to Stanford like TAMU. Clemson is very, very good.

It’s dumb at this point with the money. If it works, fine. But we were seeded as the 28th best team just for geography. We are better than many 2 seeds.

LOL, who did we beat worth a pulse down the stretch? A ton of bad teams.

Yeah, if our pitching is on we are a dangerous team, but the offense has to score runs. Can they?

They don't mash. We have way more HRs than they do and they play in a small park.
