Update about tickets:

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

One of the Committee members son plays at Southern Miss. Another member is the former AD at Southern Miss. Deck was clearly stacked against us. TN never had a chance.

USM has a better stadium and didn’t go 1-5 on the road against the bottom of their conference.

1-5 in the bottom of the conference has no bearing on this decision between the two. Now, if you say that 2-3 more wins means that we would have been a top 16 seed and hosted a regional, then fine. Although, in hindsight, that is debatable.

You are just picking out random stats. We have the better RPI, so there is that.

Sucks having to pay a lot of $$ for cable channels & then get stuck for paying xtra $$ on a channel not given on your lineup.

Yeah, at one point U was with the main package but they needed that money I guess.

 

[VolGee4]

We don’t sniff any of their attendance records.

We don't have an outfield that can sell 2k grass tickets...and they can't do it in the postseason. Their attendance for this series will not be a whole lot more than LNS.

I got all of the channels cost a little more but I watch so much sports it's worth it.

Update about tickets:

Ya know what this means, right? We’re gonna have to get there early, rig up a pulley system for the coolers, build some tree houses down the first base line, take pics (or it didn’t happen), make prostate jokes, and yell more Dongs…them dang Hattiesburg folks will be sheepish!

GBO!!!

They can, I just don’t think they can count it. Iirc before the new dude was built for Miss St, they still had people backing up pickup trucks to the outfield fence to BBQ and watch the games

 

[TheBigOne10]

600 tickets for friends and families of UT baseball.

That’s a good chunk. That will help. Maybe we can steal a couple hundred more from USM fans. Just offer them a case of Bud Light.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We’re going to be ready to get it on!!!! Take care of business Vols!!!!

They counted it against OM in the regular season last year. I will re-phrase- they are not selling them in the postseason. Just announced that no general public tickets will be sold.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

600 tickets for friends and families of UT baseball.

At how much $$$ each? Asking for a friend.

 

[tn4elvis]

Yep. It’s the reason high school football gets 10-15,000 seat stadiums in my part of SC. But the reason doesn’t matter, just the numbers.

Scalpers everywhere make cost you a buck or two but worth it to go

 

[vol66]

At how much $$$ a pop? Asking for a friend.

I have no idea. I was in middle and west Tennessee last weekend, I got home Sunday and I got no desire to start heading back that way, I’m gonna hang here.

The NCAA should make a sizable contribution to the special olympics, in Indiana State’s name. Apparently they have a huge special olympics event every year and this year it coincides with the Supers and that’s why they are not hosting.

Hey, I have an idea! How about using that SEC Network Alternate channel that's never used.
I've never seen so many lame brains who try to run a sports network for the public.

My main guess would be TV network contracts won't allow it

 

[Tenacjim]

When do you think they will announce Jeffrey Macias and crew as the Umpires for the series?

 

[WillisWG]

Well, actually, it was 1-3 (lost to both SEC Mississippi schools, got obliterated by Bama 13-0 and then beat Auburn in the Regionals). But then who’s counting…..

Yep, got me

Yes the field was booked for a great cause,NCAA should move it too a neutral site when things like this comes up and give both teams equal ticket disbursement imo

 

[vol66]

If I were Wes Rucker, I’d be glad, he gets a few days off, better yet a good night sleep away from the wife and devil child.

It’s a joke don’t ban me.

 

[taylorvol]

Not yet but I won’t be denied. I will get a ticket somehow some way. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Got GA tix for Sat, Sun, and Mon! GBO
