I doubt we get to host....

[Drebin]

....but if we do.....what say we kick the whistler's *** while he's in town?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Let's hire Breeland Speaks and Crew.
Another bounty in Starkville.

 

[Shamoan]

our bid should say: "vandy has TWO whistlers....see yall in starkville"

 

[SyonaraStanz]

Why doubtful? If they truly pick the location based on crowd size and revenue generation, I don't see how they don't pick Starkville.

My guess is our stadium being under construction will be a huge negative consideration. But with that said, we should still get to host.

Of course you don't...you're biased. But it feels like a long shot to me. Possible...but we'll see.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

What makes it a long shot?

 

[Drebin]

What makes it a long shot?

1. Our stadium being under construction
2. Our overall record
3. Vanderbilt's recent history

There's probably a million reasons, whether they're good reasons or not, that someone can find. I hope we host. We deserve to host, the way we have played down the stretch, especially against top 10 teams.

 

[patdog]

Our stadium, even in construction, is MUCH better than Vandy’s.

 

[MarkDallas]

Why would you rule out kicking his *** in his town?

 

[HotMop]

I'm in Nashville this week, get me his home address and about tree fiddy.

 

[patdog]

1- Our Stadium is better, and much bigger, than theirs.
2- our record is better than theirs. Rpi 19 for us vs 21 for them.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

1.We eliminated a national seed. Vandy did not.
2.Our stadium can still hold 3 times what Vandy’s can even under construction.
3.CMA and Bonaroo both in Nashville and vicinity this weekend. (Bonaroo expecting 80K) There will be no hotel rooms.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

Give one reason why they deserve it more than us, based on field performance.

 

[ShrubDog]

4. Espn doesn’t want to deal with the whistlers.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I think we have coin flip chance, at worst.

 

[Arthur2478]

2. Our overall record

Vandy is 34-25

State is 35-26

Bonnaroo shouldn't be an issue. It's about 50 miles out of Nashville (pretty much the center of the Nashville/Chattanooga/Huntsville triangle), and besides ... they all camp out on the farm anyway. ** Kinda like Woodstock. If there's anywhere that has plenty of hotel rooms, it's Nashville.

 

[jdbulldog]

This is what I think of the whistler....

i may be slightly older than the whistler but i would lay odds i can kick him in the whistler before he could think about landing the first punch

There are plenty of reasons you could argue one way or the other. But if you go by the NCAA's stated criteria (which I realize they are not exactly consistent in their application of rules), then it's MSU in a landslide unless they think stadium construction will negatively impact the series enough to offset the much higher capacity, revenue potential, and availability of accommodations.

I'm stealing this from another poster, so I'm assuming he took it from somewhere official, but it doesn't talk about comparing records or anything.

4. If the super regional matchup is between equally seeded teams, the committee shall review the hosting proposals accordingto the site selection criteria (e.g., quality and availability of the facility, revenue potential and other available accommodations)to determine the host. If only one of the teams has submitted a proposal, that team shall host if the proposal is acceptable.

Gotdammit, can't you effers let me reverse jinx our way into getting to host without shitting all over it??

Yeah - none of that matters. They will select based on the highest bid. Period.

1. Our stadium has been under construction all year. Why should that be a factor now?

2. Overall record is about the same for both teams.

3. I assume you mean the fact that Vanderbilt has been to Omaha more than we have recently, and have won it all once. That was then. This is now. And, our most recent history is that we have been even hotter than Vandy. Are they a combined 9-1 against 3 teams seeded in the top 5 nationally? I think not.

Where and when? I’m down.

Very true. I know no less than 50 people who have gone to Bonnaroo over the past 10 years and not a soul has ever thought about staying in Nashville. 95% of them didn’t even stay off site from the grounds unless they were in a camper.

This is a picture from today. It's very unlikely the committee will choose a Hardhat Construction Zone as a Super Regional site.

We just don't want you on the sales/hospitality comm.

That looks better now than it did during Super Bulldog Weekend when we had over 10,000 fans on Saturday

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Accroding to Warren Nolan current RPI update - MSU#19 Vandy #21

 

[Drebin]

Why would you rule out kicking his *** in his town?

Nobody's done it yet, so I figure he's protected there.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

What’s our highest single-game attendance figure this year? You can likely add 25%-30% for EACH of the Super Regional games. I’m guessing there’s NO WAY Vandy can come close to matching that type of attendance.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Interesting, we are one of the remaining 16 teams but #19 on the list.

 

[mcdawg22]

Everyone keeps talking about no hotels. What is the most amount of fans that are going to travel to Nashville? The stadium holds 3700, 1500 of which will probably be local. So a whopping 2200 people needing hotels in a town that has 2 million metro.

 

[The Peeper]

Same as its been all season with no problems

There are 90 little league teams in town this weekend, no hotel rooms here either.

I just checked and there are tons of nice rooms available 200-300 per night

 

[Fogdog]

10-1 counting the win over #7 FSU.

 

[Duncflydawg]

Just from what I could figure out Dudy Noble in its current configuration is almost 3 times the capacity of Vandys field. How is this even a discussion?
