SEC-Rant fun:

If you wanted a distilled version of Aggy brain, Cletus created a commemorative cup celebrating their .500 record against LSU after they were denied a tournament slot after being preseason Number 1.

When called on the stupidity of having a football on the cup, the Aggy creator blamed it on artificial intelligence. 

Never change Aggy.

We got em back a few days later. Hollingsworth let his nuts hang and Hinojosa hit a fucking bomb. That was a really fun Omaha run. 

That was a great team. The pitching was nails in the postseason

Gata is generally content being in Coastal Carolinas regional.  Which could be a mistake. That is a confident dangerous program who will not have jitters being there.    I can’t imagine we would take them for granted.

If we win the thing we probably get to play Auburn in the super.  I would prefer seeing teams we’ve never played before - at least until Omaha. 

Overlook the Chanticleers at your own peril.

Hate the fact UTRGV missed the cut.   Best season in decades and the fan support on fire down there.    But a number of piss pour teams get in because they won their conference tourney.    Just a crap sandwich.    

Yep. Auto bids are fucking stupid.

does anyone see a bracket online with RPI beside team?

I'd probably rather have a mid major these days as the #3.  getting a major conf team usually has more pitching depth than a mid major and even more so in NIL era.

they messed up having Texas, LSU, Tenn, Ark all on the same side of the bracket.  

I think it’s intentional. Much more likely to have final matchup that isn’t just two SEC teams.

That's a distinction without a difference. ATX metro area.

DFF was unavailable because of the construction remodel.

It’s not though. DD is a much less intimidating atmosphere and was barely half full for that regional. It played like a neutral site because it was. 
Anyone who was there can attest that it was nothing like playing at home.

Not helped by the part where we lost.

Fuck that. Auto bids are awesome. And necessary, otherwise huge parts of the country would be completely ignored.

The only part that might be stupid is them going to the tournament winner and not the regular season winner.

Fuck Missouri would probably be a 4 without them. "Look at the amazing SECSECSEC teams they lost to! They deserve a bid!"

That's the web-ified bracket.  

this is the jpg of the classic bracket.  actual bracket, please for the love of christ make a pdf.

2025%20NCAA%20Division%20I%20Baseball%20

Agree that it's complete and total Bullshit that vandie loses 4 more games than us, didn't win the conference in the regular season, was given more credit than they earned in winning a bizarre "half-tournament", yet are still GIVEN the #1 national seed.

Any possible way to discredit TEXAS and shove us to the side for placement we've earned, Texas-haters do it.  

Just like the "And Texas wins The National Championship!" being announced on TV in a forced, jealous, annoyed, mournful tone and quickly cut to commercial, but for anyone else, the announcement is pure ecstasy and joy.

FUCK THEM! And let's make them be forced to announce we're baseball national champions AGAIN!

HOOK’EM HORNS!

Auto bids are not the issue, they just need to be awarded to the regular season conference champ. That would then render the conference tournaments useless. So it will never happen

So was I. I’m sure you noticed that it wasn’t Disch Falk, wasn’t full, and wasn’t loud.

This is what I meant by my comment. Auto bids should go to the regular season champ, not the tournament champ.

This has seemed to happen to Texas a lot over the past 11 years or so.

The tournament should be 100% auto-bids.  Anything that is not a play-in is figure skating and not a sport.

Round Rock has been part of the Austin Metro for a long, long time. The DD is in Round Rock, not Hutto.

Then say you want a printable bracket at the outset. 

Somebody here might've made a PDF out of any picture.

Austin metro area and Austin are not the same thing. Of course Hutto isn't Austin.

Dell Diamond is firmly planted in Round Rock, not Hutto or even "basically Hutto".

I mean, it’s 5 miles from Hutto City Hall and 3.5 miles from Round Rock City Hall. It ain’t exactly a long ways. 
Regardless the whole point here was that the DD is not a home series for us and didn’t play or feel like one.

Disch-Falk wouldn't have played or felt like a home series either the way Irvine's pitching and defense dominated.

I've never spent a moment of my life in Hutto or Round Rock, but I'd like to make the observation that it's hard to come to terms with a tournament that doesn't have Arkie and Okie Lite in the same regional.

Next sumbitch who brings up Irvine needs a swift kick in the nuts. 

My daughter took her first trip to the CWS with me that season, and she was a huge fan of their CF Ollie Linton, who just caught absolutely everything that didn't go over the wall.  He was a teammate of Goldschmidt in the minors, and when I mentioned that she was a big fan to Paul, Ollie sent my daughter an autographed ball.

Breaking News: Texas A&M has accepted a bid to the baseball NIT.  The Aggies, defending almost-national champions, have been named the #1 seed in the field and will host SMU in a 3-game series at Olsen Field Friday-Monday.

It's DEFINITELY intentional. 

4 teams in the top 5 (4 #1's) throughout the year (plus Joja) all on the same side of the bracket? Compare it to the other side of bracket and there is a big difference. Not bitching, but it's not  the first time this has been done. 

Just gotta win.🤘

So you have never driven north from Austin on the interstate?

I don't consider driving through on the interstate having spent any time there. I do see your literal point though. And the last time I was on that particular stretch of I-35 was probably 30 years ago.

At least those 8 finished above .500 in conference.  *cough* *cough* Oklahoma *cough* Kentucky *cough*

Kentucky getting in at 13-17 in conference play, barely over .500 in overall record, and 1 and done in the conference tournament is one of the biggest jokes in the selection process.  

 

Especially when you look at the schedule that 16-7 record was built on in non-conference play.

Was the last time some of you spent time in Austin when Lamar was the highway to Dallas?

Scott Bryant having to pitch instead of Dressendorfer so CBS would carry the game.
