Surely you aren't pretending that a baseball conf tourney title is worth anything more than an empty trophy. Baseball and basketball champs are season title holders.

Pretty impressive to win 6 games in 6 days in college. In the SEC. State's pitching is top notch.

I'm sorry, but the SEC Tournament bracket is a complete joke due to the new format, and I discussed this in the UT Baseball forum. It gives the #3 and #4 teams a better draw than the #1 and #2 teams, because they get a weaker opponent to advance to Thursday's winners' bracket, and they get Wednesday off. Also laughable is that the semifinals are somehow not double elimination. UK beat MSU on Thursday and lost to MSU on Saturday for UK's only loss. And, UK's out, and 1-loss MSU advances to the Final. I guess someone had to win this joke of a tournament.

Here's a link. Look at the path the #3 and #4 teams get if they win on Tuesday and compare that to the #1 and #2 teams who receive a "bye." Then, look at the semifinals, where your prior loss to the undefeated team you're about to play gets thrown out.

The Billy Club (#8) with no tomato, e-z peppers is probably the best sandwich on the menu.

Most senseless tourney format I have ever heard of.

They actually went 5-1 over the six days.

Really???

I don't care who won.

I'm just pointing out that it is an absolutely ridiculous tournament format. Usually, you only see something that idiotic in a local rec league.

Congrats to the MSU Bulldogs for doing what they needed to do to win the tournament, per the format.

Tennessee wasn't even in. I had no dog in the fight. If anyone's "butthurt," it's Kentucky, because they split with MSU. Or LSU, who had the top seed and still got a worse tourney draw than Kentucky.

And, come up with something a little more clever, original, and pc than "butthurt" next time.

Do you know what it feels like to be "butthurt"?
I don't (not that there's anything wrong with that).

[rockytop9808]

I still don't understand why this guy brags so much about the worst school, academically and athletically, in the SEC.

[ukvols]

I'm not one to hide an opinion, and I'm embarrassed that the SEC is putting on something this stupid. This is usually the conference that sets the pace for everyone else.
