Yeah penn I think still has the upper hand tomorrow.. so miss has like 6/7 guys over 60 for the weekend already

 

[Volstylexx]

Sounds like they have a siren squealing version of the vandy whistler.

 

[jdogvol]

Why waste a pitcher here if you're Penn?

They are trying to save one... The guy pitching.

 

[spyfish007]

Vanna, I would like to buy an out.

 

[Volstylexx]

In the famous words of Clark Griswold, "Think it really matters Eddie?"

 

[drylo]

Not how it works.

Color me shocked that Fitt is pushing the line that UT shouldn’t host a super…

 

[cwbytruckers]

We were ranked higher than some hosts as well. We beat the #4 national seed. That alone tells me we should host, not USM.

Yeah these seeds make no common sense. Luckily our region worked out.

 

[Orange.]

Penn looks lost at the plate now. Not looking too great for the Quakers right now.

Penn needs a hot bowl of oatmeal.

I’m not sure what y’all are on about USM having better facilities. LNS has more seats, it just comes down to how many standing room you sell. If Danny white wants us to host he can up the standing room number by a few hundred when the school submits their case tomorrow night

Not true, USM has 12 crowds over 5000 people in their history and a record attendance of 6300. Our record attendance is slightly over 5000.

All of them vs ole miss probably lol

USM has a permanent capacity of 4300, our is 4386. Our capacity doesn’t inches the porch or however many standing room seats we sell

The capacity does include the porches. Prior to the porches capacity was slightly over 4000, its inched up every time a level was added. We likely “lost” some capacity this season going from bleachers down RF line to complete chair backs. Our record crowd is 5086 their’s is 6300. They have clearly accommodated more on multiple occasions. Again, they have 12 crowds larger than our largest so it’s obvious their stadium can hold more. You don’t think we could’ve sold 6300 tickets to game 3 of the Super’s last year? If we can hold it why not do it?

 

[Orange.]

All of them vs ole miss probably lol

So Miss

 

[Orange.]

With a win tomorrow, Penn would become the first Ivy League team ever to advance to a Super Regional.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Christian Moore is getting hot at the right time

 

[CAVPUT]

With a win tomorrow, Penn would become the first Ivy League team ever to advance to a Super Regional.

Not impossible, but a big ask nonetheless. Would be incredible if they pull it off.

 

[Ned Land]

It's a shame we've slow footed the renovation. Add more bleachers on risers behind the visiting dugout?

 

[BruisedOrange]

I posted this in another thread earlier. Add in the fact that the national baseball media are now saying USM has the advantage - tells you where this is headed. Remember, though, USM needs to win today AND tomorrow. This is a long way from being over.


Selection for supers has NOTHING to do with rpi. There is no s curve of 2 seeds. It is based on lodging, facilities, and revenue (guaranteed ticket sales by the bid hosts). The only advantage TN has is in lodging, but Hattiesburg has more than sufficient accommodations to handle the event. They’re a tradition rich program with a beautiful stadium and are above us in attendance this year. Our highest ever program attendance record wouldn’t even crack their top 10 list.

Lodging - Knoxville
Facilities - USM
Revenue - USM
Politics - “anti sec” and retiring coach - USM

Vols
USM

As I’ve said all week, won’t even be close. Vols need Penn to win. This decision would be made entirely by the ncaa committee who thought so highly of the Vols that they shipped us off to the #4 overall seed who had won 17 in a row and just clenched an ACC title. Any hope of Vols hosting in that scenario is just an illusion.

Just want to express my appreciation to anyone who brings quiet reason into an emotionally hot (and often alcohol-warmed) VolNation thread.

In the football forum, that's a martyr's mission. But I'm impressed with how you baseball fans, no matter how passionate (or late it is) don't reject new facts or objective reason out of hand. Kudos all around, as I work my way through the morning catch up on this thread.

 

[BruisedOrange]

There's two ADs from military academies on there, wonder what they think about daddy hats, fur coats, double birds, etc?

I'd think they recognize and admire a snappy uniform!

 

[BruisedOrange]

You can both be right. The academic researcher in me looks at the info and says USM. The fan in me looks at the drive and says USM. I'm going to be there either way!

Ahhh. I was wondering if you might be a practitioner of the dark arts of jurisprudence.

I grew up not liking baseball, but eventually realized that the minds whose thinking I most admired, either in print or speaking, were inevitably lifelong fans of the game.

IF you're comfortable telling here (I mean, the NSA, Google and the BIS already know anyway) in what do you have degrees, and what kinds of research do you get to work on?
