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


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


2 Kentucky / Oregon State or UC Irvine
7 Georgia / NC State
3 Texas A&M / UCSB or 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 lots of casual national attention were not the primetime game. Especially if the opponent were Florida State.

Really sucks if they start our series on Saturday. I have a flight back to D.C. on that Monday night so if we lost a game I’d miss the winner-take-all. I hate that we’re probably about to get the Saturday start for the second straight year. Really annoying.

If we do play on Saturday, it will interesting to see what the assigned gametime will be by ESPN?

Three of the Super Region hosts for that Saturday (Tennessee, Florida State and Virginia) all all eastern time zone teams. North Carolina will be the 4th if they beat LSU tomorrow. If it were North Carolina, out of those four hosts, who will ESPN think will draw the largest primetime audience? Only Florida State could host a big name school (If Oklahoma wins.

I feel confident ECU will take care of Evansville tomorrow but ECU would be a bigger audience for current college baseball fans as the casual fan would place ECU in same category as Evansville.

With NFL playoffs, you can clearly see that timezone rarely makes a difference. The networks will always opt to have the Chargers play at noon if they can get the Patriots to play in a nighttime 10 below zero.

If I may ask, what would you have asked or said? I suspect my natural reaction would be don’t bother her? I don’t think that’s a choke job.

Actually, lots of random people were taking pics with her, so I just backed off because it was kinda weird.
It’s one thing for the professor, preacherman or Beamers family, but not some random goof at a baseball game.

I wouldn’t have either…it’s easy to say stuff here but if push comes to shove…if I could mutter an utterance it would probably be a thanks, I got no shot at a selfie, don’t know how to work the dang thang!
