NCAA baseball is probably the sport with the most elusive participants. Good players are lured away more than any other sport (or it seems to me, anyway). We have 5 Seniors Lacy, Sargent, Lynch, Johnson, and Ewing. I don't know if any have eligibility left. It could be we also lose some to MLB. Perhaps Etsel, Dickerson, Wilks, Hall, Montenegro, and Storm. Who else could be gone next year?

Auburn Regional Preview: Is this a chaos regional?

Checking The Field​

Auburn year after year seems to exceed outside expectations, and this season was no different. The Tigers, despite having some youth in the lineup, a key injury on the mound in Joseph Gonzalez and uncertainty in the weekend rotation for much of the year, is hosting for the second straight season. Their path isn’t easy, though. Penn is arguably the toughest four-seed in the entire field, Southern Miss is a team that was a handful of wins away from hosting a regional itself and Samford is a tough team that won a tripleheader in the SoCon Tournament to secure an automatic bid.

Eight For Omaha: Wake Forest, Stanford, LSU, Southern Miss, Florida, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Arkansas

Most Intriguing Story Line: With all the older rosters around the country because of the COVID extra year, will we see a crazy, upset-laden postseason, or will it be chalky? Keep an eye on those teams with a boatload of juniors and seniors. Looking at you, Southern Miss.

Biggest Surprise: South Carolina hosting after a dismal stretch run performance constituted a mild surprise, considering this is the first time one conference has ever had eight hosts, and it’s not like the committee had a dearth of worthy hosting candidates to choose from (Campbell, Southern Miss, Boston College and DBU were all more deserving).

Omaha Sleeper: I’m taking three regional No. 2 seeds from mid-major conferences to break through to Omaha this year: Southern Miss, ECU, DBU. I suppose they’re all sleepers, and yet none of them should be sleepers, because these are three great programs that have repeatedly knocked on the CWS door in recent years.

Eight For Omaha: Wake Forest, Stanford, LSU, Southern Miss, Florida, East Carolina, Dallas Baptist, Arkansas

First of all, no one should represent their conference in the baseball tourney if you don't have a winning record, conference or overall. Second, if a team cancels a game with a team to keep from hurting their RPI then they should automatically have ten (10) points for each game cancelled added to their RPI.And third and most important of all, no conference should have more than four teams as national seed or regional host. And John Cohen is a freaking JOKE!

....plus 7500 on the money line to win the CWS. We're the25th choice.

Will face Samford in game 1. This regional is matched up with Clemson regional.

They didn't win their tourney, they are not ranked in the top 25, they only have 34 wins. So what's up???

I do think Southern Miss should have hosted . I won't hit on how many SEC teams have regionals. We don't need that. We should have, period.

Thanks to all who have served.

You know what I'm talking about. There was one dude at the SBC tourney who was making people miserable. I don't know that he was affiliated with any team playing. His attire did not identify him, straw hat, and it may have a Titleist Tshirt. I noticed on Saturday that he suddenly went silent after creating a feedback loop through the stadium PA system. The ESPN+ crew never mentioned him again. I hope they gave him the boot??? I tried to watch other games over the weekend. Some of them you couldn't listen to due to the whistling. They need to make a rule about this. People are doing it just to be annoying, it's not cheering.

May we never forget those who sacrificed so much so we can have the liberty to enjoy the things we love like college sports!!!

The selection show..

Have us as the 2 seed in Bama regional with 3 seed Samford and 4 seed Nicholls. Not a bad regional. Samford is 0-7 against quad 1 and 3-4 against quad 2. If that is who we play do you pitch Hall game one or save him for Bama. Surely we could get past Samford with Oldham or Armistead.

Hopefully, it will not be Louisiana Lafayette.

Thank you to all those who have served in the military and to the families of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

May God bless you all and God Bless America.

for their deserving .500 conf or less winning teams 😡. I’d love to punch those arrogant Bammers in the mouth if we don’t get a well deserved regional.
