Edit-
So winner of Knoxville supers play the winner of FL State - Norman regional winner in first round in Omaha?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Just think about this. 4 straight Supers….not long ago we had almost FIFTEEN YEARS of no postseason baseball. What a long, dark time in the wilderness. Unbelievable where Tony has taken us. Hard to fathom.

If Tony keeps taking us to Omaha, a natty is inevitable. If not this year, it will happen eventually. I hope we can keep him until he retires.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves… but yes…

 

[KptVFL]

Lol. Dying!

Nice share!

 

[Weezer]

KY advances.

 

[Orange.]

I don’t really want to face ECU, they have really good pitching. If LSU makes it to Omaha, they’ll be on our side of the bracket. No thanks lol.

Plus, I want LSU to fail asap.

I didn’t say TN, hence “winner.”

 

[ArdentVol]

Good night in Athens, bad night in Atlanta.

srill without water?

 

[Orange.]

KY advances.

Boooooooooooooooo

 

[vol94]

Everyone have a great night. It’s awesome to see our Vols advance one step closer to their goal.

As always, thanks for the game thread.

Everyone have a great week.

Go Vols!

I don’t want to have to face them a fifth time. It’s hard to beat the same team that many times in a row, especially in that environment. LSU never goes quietly in the night.

Agree.

 

[Weezer]

Boooooooooooooooo

I didn't want 'em too, but I wasn't given a choice.

Quietly in the night? Hell, they thrive at night!

Right! They just won’t die. They go down swinging, we’ll put it that way lol.

Fla goes up 4-2 over Okl. St
Top 6 w/ 1 on first and no outs

They normally have to decide what half of the bracket starts on one day and what the next/

For instance, the 1 side (GO VOLS) of the bracket will start Friday and the 2 side (Kentucky yuk) would start Saturday or visa versa.

That start date would continue through to Omaha. The half of the bracket that started Supers on FRiday the 7th would play day one (June 14) in Omaha. The teams that started Supers on June 8 would have day 2 in Omaha on June 15th.

The Tennessee side of the bracket is 1,4,5, and 8
The Kentucky side is 2,3,6 and 7
Host noted in bold and underline

1 Tennessee / ECU or Evansville
8 Florida State / Connecticut or Oklahoma
4 North Carolina or LSU / Arizona West Virginia
5 Arkansas Kansas State / Virginia

2 Kentucky / Oregon State or UC Irvine
7 Georgia / NC State
3 Texas A&M / Oregon
6 Clemson / Oklahoma State or Florida


I'm guessing they'll start the Knoxville Super Region on Saturday as the other half of the bracket hosts are all known even if the visitors are not. The #4 super Region host will not be decided until Monday night when UNC/LSU game is over. I'm pretty sure the winner will be the Super host but the NCAA will make a show of it and make LSU wait until Tues day morning to make WVU or GCU think they have a chance to host.

With these assumptions, I predict Tennessee's first game in Omaha would be Saturday June 15th. I would be surprised if Tennessee as the 1 seed with tons of casual national attention were not the primetime game. Especially if the opponent were Florida State.

Absolutely, have mercy. Respectfully, to both parties…they are the gold standard in SEC baseball, we’re just getting our feet wet and we ain’t doing it in a swamp. But it would be fun that’s for sure!

 

[BruisedOrange]

So... would you rather face an SEC team on whose pitchers and batters you have a full book, or another good team which is new to your staff and players?

 

[volforlife15]

I don't see why they would do that. It would be unfair to the team that takes care of business.

And will they make every team in the super regionals have the same one-day delay in start time? Otherwise, the other teams have an unearned advantage in the CWS.

But the NCAA is a f--- up organization. So maybe they do things that wrong.

2021 and 2023 both had the other team finish on Monday and our supers started on Saturday. That makes me think we’ll be on Saturday. The only thing that gives me pause is ecu won’t have to travel far to knox so maybe they keep it on Friday. Doubtful though

Never realized they did it like that. If that’s the case, then we will probably be Saturday given both our Super and the 4 seed Super (UNC) will have teams playing tomorrow night. Likely will just bump those two supers to Saturday along with the rest of our side

We’ll be lucky if the NCAA doesn’t try to move supers to Greenville…
