The Official NCAA Selection Show Thread (Monday May 27 NOON EST ESPN2 )

This is definitely the best case scenario for us, but man the only slightly concerning thing is that we now have to deal with a Cinderella story, David slaying Goliath narrative next weekend. The “evil” Vols versus the plucky Aces.

I hope we step on the eir throats, take them seriously, and don’t let them keep this miracle run going.

I think ill take that over facing Yesavage!

 

[WillisWG]

ECU should never host again!!!

Their fans are something else

100 times out of 100. No doubt.

It would’ve been never ending with ECU as well. “Does ECU finally break the ice and get to Omaha?” They’ve always gotta push something.

Eff the NCAA, bet this outcome never crossed their minds LMAO!

Never....salivating over Burns vs Vols match up

 

[TechnoVol]

apparently ecu coach was mad the way evansville celebrated lmao glad that clown got eliminated (i suggest winning next time)

I'll admit, the way that guy who hit the home run stopped a few feet before getting to 1B and then posing to his dugout was a bit much.

Never....salivating over Burns vs Vols match up

They were hoping for either:
A) SMU get us
B) Burns matchup
C) if not A or B, then ECU getting over the hump

I’ll take “D”. None of the above!

Exactly, they had two storylines in mind for us. Wake Forest/Chase Burns to Knoxville and USM revenge from last year. Both went down in flames.

Oklahoma States turn now to take out the Gators.

I hope UNC takes care of business against LSU tonight. No offense to WVU, but they’re not beating them in Baton Rouge, and I DO NOT want to see the tigers in Omaha.

B5 O State 8-5

I love seeing those pre-determined and hoped for outcomes go by the wayside. If they would just rank the teams 1 to 64 and line the teams up based on that it would be better for the game.

Somehow it still worked out for us. We’re getting the 4 from the 16. I couldn’t have drawn it up any better.

They always do stuff like this. There’s a reason LSU went to the North Carolina regional. They set up a potential super regional with LSU and Jay Johnson facing his former team, Arizona. Too bad Arizona already blew that scenario! And I’m not confident at all that LSU can get the job done tonight anyway. But, the potential for that scenario was there, and the committee knew it.

Oh for sure, but I think they also knew y’all had the chance to blow it up, and if you do… surprise! Another dance with the Vols in Omaha

I like the way you think! Unfortunately, I just don’t think we get it done tonight. Pitching is a problem. I’m guessing we start Ackenhausen, and he was terrible yesterday. And then we’ll just throw Johnny Wholestaff at them. If we hit like we did yesterday, then we have a chance I guess, but I’ve got a negative vibe right now. I hope the boys prove me wrong!

Here's how often each seed makes the Men's College World Series

More than 75 percent of College World Series teams have been No. 1 regional seeds, since the tournament's current format was introduced in 1999.

I’ll never count LSU out until the fat lady sings. Your team has a knack for finding a way. You’re gelling at the right time. I don’t know much about UNC though, so we’ll see.

What a coincidence. I like the way you think, too. I'm hoping your team loses tonight, no offense.

Okie St needs to score more runs.
