I said coming into the season this team would struggle to host a regional for the first time maybe ever. Lots of unknowns with new players, losing one of the best leadoff hitters (and the best ever after Chavanne, IMO), and two good pitchers -- one to graduation and one to transfer -- spells a recipe for struggle. I was stunned when we were picked 2nd in the conference when in reality we should've been picked 6th or 7th, even though the SEC doesn't really have any truly elite teams this season (Bama included, who is very hot and cold).
