Bring on Kent State...
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
They just whipped Tennessee Tech's *** last weekend.
Has to be an upgrade in strength of schedule.

So, we're swapping out Golden Eagles for Flashes? I'm cool with that. Bruiser won't like it; he dislikes Mardi Gras. Can't please everyone.
I would be fine either way as long as they don't show their asses all weekend like Tulane did. (Memo to Tulane: you don't get extra runs for stomping on the plate after a home run, or for running your mouth at or mocking the opponent's players.)
You are correct. There are no state restrictions; however, State has restrictions-- at least for this weekend:

Heard rumor that the SEC wants to keep capacity capped 50% or so until more SEC states open up. Guess they think it’s bad PR for crowded Mississippi baseball stadiums to be on TV. Any confirmation of this?
Odd. Every time I hear of Kent State I think about that famous Defensive Back who played there, Nick Saban.
Yessir. Hopefully the bulldog faithful will show them a good time....
Just not on the field.

Yeah, I believe that was the year we won the SEC tourny playing LSU in the championship game, with Chris Young dominating them on the mound. I was at that game. Packed house, half MSU half LSU. Great memory.
Just got an email to purchase my original chair back seats and parking pass for the rest of the season, starting this weekend.
That was back when there was a big geographic bias with the selection committee. If there was a Midwestern team or a west coast team remotely in the hosting discussion they were for dang sure gonna host, even as a 2 seed. We shot up the boards after winning the SEC tourney that year but they had to have their Midwestern host, so we got sent on the road instead of hosting at The Dude. And of course Ohio State didn’t even win a game in their own Regional. We went on a family vacation to Disney World during the middle of that Regional, I remember us losing radio signal as we left the state going toward Mobile and hoping that I’d find out how we did somehow. I think the USA Today just so happened to post the Regional scores and I saw that we won in the paper a day or two later.
Moot point anyway, we were paired with an absolutely loaded Fullerton team that was the No. 1 overall seed and they beat us senseless in the Supers.

Nope. That was the year the ban on Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia from hosting postseason at predetermined sites became effective. But since this was an "earned" host, that's not what kept us from hosting. This was also when the NCAA was making a strong push to spread out the host sites more. Since Ohio St. was the Big 10 champion and only host and we finished in a 3-way tie for 4th in the SEC, and they already had 4 regionals with SEC hosts, we got to take the trip north. It was actually probably a better draw than hosting with a tough #2 seed.
