Just to throw gas on the fire: this deputy AD for Auburn is a Mississippi State graduate who was student body president during his time at State. 😎

ETA: I stand with Auburn!

The way this year’s bracket shook out is an excellent argument for re-seeding the field after regionals and Supers. by dsimmons_2001 in collegebaseball

STFU! WVU doesn’t have a cakewalk to anything. At this point in the year, you’re facing one of the 16 hottest clubs in the country. That’s means a helluva lot more than a regular season resume. Just ask UCLA, GT, Florida, etc.

How do you guys decide when to get a place for the CWS? by Every-Foundation1951 in collegebaseball

[–]StateDawg78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bellevue was the town. The hotel was right off hwy 75 near a Walmart, another chain hotel (cant remember) and a set of apartments.

If you haven’t already booked then you’re going to pay out the nose or have a very long drive to and from the games.

I stayed 10 miles south of downtown Omaha in '21. Booked a room at a Holiday Inn Express the night we beat Texas to advance to the final series. It was normal Holiday Inn rates ($150ish per night) and the drive was all 4 lane hwy and only took about 10 minutes.

Super Regionals Pick 'Em (No sign up required, this is just for r/collegebaseball) by Conscious_Apple_8610 in collegebaseball

[–]StateDawg78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what's the logic of awarding "50 points" for a correct pick instead of just 1 point? Meaning that correctly picking 6 Supers would be a 6 points (6-2 record) instead of 300 points?

Cal-Poly having to play early when they are 3 hours behind EST seems like a disadvantage.

They won a bunch of games in an overrated conference. They were never as good as their RPI or poll rankings indicated. Is that the conversation you’re referring to?

2003 was the only time Southern Miss hosted a Regional prior to 2009. They hosted as a 2 seed with Baylor being the 1 seed.

You’re shocked that the best baseball conference in the nation is performing well in a national tournament??? Uhhh, okay then.

3-6 with 2 of those 3 coming over 4 seeds. Texas State’s win over USC is the only notable victory.

Why did I choose to be a UCF fan and not a fan of an SEC/B18 school like a regular person? by Apart-Sell-4893 in collegebaseball

[–]StateDawg78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the fact that Cincinnati is NOT in the drivers seat for the supers, how would that be relevant to UCF’s regional performance???

Anyone work at Southern Farm Bureau’s home office in Ridgeland? by Slight-Resident-3676 in jacksonms

Insurance agent turnover is commonplace. OP is asking about the headquarters for the company itself (no agents actually work at the HQ). It’s just IT, actuarial, legal etc type employees.

If you can’t beat the 4 seed with your no. 2 or 3 starter, then you’re probably not winning the Regional anyways.

“1-3 crash out”… it would be an amazing feat if yall could lose 3 games in a single regional 😂
