Yeah, UT no doubt. They're playing well right now too. Not sure USM can beat them no matter where it's played. That prick Vitello is going to get back to the CWS. Like him or not, the SOB wins.I'm guessing Tenn since they beat the national seed.
Well if they get by USM they will have a tougher side of the bracket in omaha most likely.Yeah, UT no doubt. They're playing well right now too. Not sure USM can beat them no matter where it's played. That prick Vitello is going to get back to the CWS. Like him or not, the SOB wins.
If Penn wins, Tennesse hosts because they're the higher seeded team. But if USM wins, either UT or USM could host.If they are equally seeded teams, the official tiebreaker as stated on the NCAA’s website is “the committee shall review the hosting proposals according to 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.”
Interesting. I can see the argument both ways as far as who deserves to host. Tennessee beat the national seed at their place. That’s impressive. On the other hand, if USM comes out of the Auburn regional, at least in theory they would be the “higher” 2 seed.If Penn wins, Tennesse hosts because they're the higher seeded team. But if USM wins, either UT or USM could host.
USM & Tennessee are equal seeds. Either can host.It is probably a 50/50 decision because USM is the higher seed. The committee is taking a lot of crap for 8 SEC schools hosting, so giving USM the Super Regional might quiet some critics. I feel certain that Cohen will find a way to overthink it though & screw up the decision.
USM might not want to host given their track record for hosting regionals.USM & Tennessee are equal seeds. Either can host.
You may have a point. USM is winless hosting SEC teams in Super Regionals. However, every time USM plays an SEC team on the road in Super Regionals, they are undefeated and go to Omaha. 17 it, send us to Knoxville.**USM might not want to host given their track record for hosting supers.
Southern Miss beat a national seed too and they didn't need 14 innings to do it.I'm guessing Tenn since they beat the national seed.
Tennessee was an abysmal 4-12 on the road this season (for perspective, last season, our worst season in a decade, we were 7-12 on the road and this season, we were 6-10 on the road).You may have a point.

Yeah but I think pressure may get to them down there. Remember us in 2017 and Ole Miss last year? Meanwhile, in their lone trip to Omaha in 2009, they had to do it all on the road.Tennessee was an abysmal 4-12 on the road this season (for perspective, last season, our worst season in a decade, we were 7-12 on the road and this season, we were 6-10 on the road).
Southern Miss was 11-10.
Tennessee was 33-5 at home and Southern Miss was 26-5.
If I'm Southern Miss, I want those bastards in the Pete.
Small sample size and the human brain drawing connections that don’t exist. USM has never lost to an out of state team in a super regional.Yeah but I think pressure may get to them down there.

That said, I know, I know, those teams have nothing to do with the current team. But that 'culture' type stuff is a real thing, and can manifest itself mentally. See Mike Bianco for a most perfect example.
Yeah, UT no doubt. They're playing well right now too. Not sure USM can beat them no matter where it's played. That prick Vitello is going to get back to the CWS. Like him or not, the SOB wins.
