For the guys who voted No, any thoughts on the weekend and beyond?

Critical thinking skills is not their forte.

Yes please

 

[knoxvol52]

Good regional field probably favors Tennessee,but that Super would be damn tough Wake Forest is probably best team in country rite now.

 

[preacherman20]

No way Indiana and ISU both host.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I think that’s probably as favorable of a draw as you could hope for as a non-host site.

 

[WillisWG]

Can't see UK hosting, not with their remaining schedule.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Lots of baseball left.

That's a pretty tough regional.

Frankly, the 1 seed looks like the weakest team.

 

[VOLfrombama]

We would be lucky to get that draw iyam

If we go 8-4 against MS ST, GA, KY, and USCe, we will be hosting.
Path to 8 Wins: 3 against MS St, 2 at GA, 2 against KY, and 1 at USCe.

I’m okay with being in a regional where the 1-seed is weaker and the 3/4 is stronger. It makes sense by bracketing principles. The 15th and 16th regional hosts should have tough regionals, just like Georgia Southern last year.

Idk why, but Wake seems like a fraud to me in a very weak ACC.

I’ve been wrong before tho…

Trivia question - who is the most famous athlete to ever play baseball at Indiana State?

I used to feel like this, but it really screws the higher seeded teams in the Super. Notre Dame should have been a Regional host last year, much higher than in the 16 seed regional bracket and we had to play them. We should have beat them anyway, but we shouldn't have had to play them in the first place.

D1 Baseball has us in Indiana with us, Notre Dame, and Wright State.

Not going to happen.... The VOLS will be hosting

 

[cwbytruckers]

Just not sure i would want Louisville in the opening regional. They can be tough as well. I hope we stay hot and wind up getting into a top 16 hosting site.

 

[NorCalVol67]

And D1 removed KY from hosting due to their upcoming schedule.

I honestly don’t think there is such a thing as an easy path in baseball. I can look at that entire field and make a case why any team would be a tough matchup. I think all things considered, drawing Indiana and Lousiville is the best you can hope for. I think most people would pick us to win that regional.

 

[Aerie Vol]

It can wait.

Vawls surge late.

Wright State

Indiana's plate.

BaseVol check mate.

Vols by fiddy.

I would almost prefer a pod similar to the ones suggested by BA and D1.
