I bet against us every game this tourney assuming the meltdown was due. They could at least win the regional* to pay me back.
Good for the boys to show up when it really counts! Hope they show well at regionals And let’s all thank that Sparty RF for his service
Based on host sites I’m guessing we end up in the Texas or Arkansas regional? Maybe Tenn or Vandy even?
Doubtful. They were on the bubble going into the final weekend (when they were in 1st place). Proceeded to get swept by Oregon at home then went 1-2 in B10 tourney.
Im going to guess a 3 just because there are enough small conference champs that will take up the 4s.
D1 Baseball projections has us a 3 in Tallahassee. Can’t remember who the 4 was (maybe Columbia?), but the 1 was FSU and 2 was Florida.
Cracking me up seeing all the victory laps about Bolt. Great run this week with some clutch performances but it also further shows how much they underperformed for like half of the season. The MSU guy makes that catch 99.9% of the time. Credit to the Husks for taking advantage of a break finally going our way but the people acting like we’re on the verge of even the Mike Andersen era are nuts. That said, we’re pretty much heading into the regional with house money so maybe they can keep this going. At least it could be fun to watch since expectations are low.
Joked to my friend the other day, if the game isn’t on TV or you can’t bet on it, Nebraska is probably good at it. Guess I should re-up my BTN+ sub.
I honestly don’t know how to feel about Bolt. He’s shit the bed the 2 seasons with expectations but something like 11-3 in big ten conference tournament. they just don’t show up the whole year. As good as Broxton’s outing was last year, Horn’s was crazy vs a team averaging 7.9/runs on the year, 7.6 in conference and 8 in conference tourney. Just shut them down, was fun to watch. For as many dick kicks we take, I’ll take this positive and hope he can figure out how to get the team to handle expectations going forward. Made a regional after losing Friday night guy. Doesn’t excuse the fact we were out with a loss Sunday but still managed to get it done and is in his 3rd regional in 5 years. Just needs to turn 1 of those 3 into a super going forward. Which would be easier to do if we met expectations and hosted. (Queue to 0-2 regional upcoming I’m sure)
Don’t disagree at all, which I think is why it’s easy to get frustrated with them/Bolt. I don’t know what has to change to become more consistent, but it’s almost like they try to flip the switch for every weekend series which they can do in the B10 but overall SOS is so meh that it’s not enough to offset the bad losses when it comes to hosting. It’s not his fault the B10 is not good at baseball, but I also start thinking of the other teams that had mini-runs in the conference and I think of Michigan or Indiana making the CWS or at least consistently competing in the post season (before their staffs left). Just seems like we’re at a similar ceiling as Erstad. Mostly just need them to build on the B2B regional appearances by either winning one or at least hosting one soon.
Assuming OU starts Witherspoon Friday and we somehow get past that, then UNC saves their ace for Game 2 that would be quite the stretch of solid pitching to face in the past 10ish days.
Is it still +200 after the starters were announced? My site probably won’t have them up until the day of.
