They would likely hunt me down personally since in single-handedly created the Applebee deal

I think I would drop the Applebees talk. It kinda backfired. Made proponents look like they thought Applebees was a measure of food culture. Hatties has no Applebees because Applebees couldn’t compete against their local restaurants. They put their lack of Applebees very much in the plus column.

Hattiesburg has some great local restaurants and not boring, horrific national chains that sell frozen, microwaved food.

My inner fan boy sez we win Hattiesburg and A&M screws the pooch. Committee awards the super to Tennessee even if the College Station winner is also the 2nd seed cause LNS is the best facility.

The NCAA doesn’t award sites anymore. They seed 1 through 32. The higher seed gets home-field. So if it’s Tennessee and the 2 seed in the College Station regional, the higher seed overall gets home field.

First 4 Out
Troy
Texas State
Kent State (they've fallen on hard times late in season.
South Alabama

4 To watch:
SEMO
Purdue
UAB
Vanderbilt


the comments bring up good points.

* Mississippi State only has four SEC series wins but are listed as host. Several seasons ago, Ole Miss was told they could not host because they only won 4 series.
* Miss State did win a single series against an SEC teams with a winning records and 9 of thei 16 SEC wins were against the lowest four teams.
* Oregon State is not listed as a host (worse? they are going to Eugene) Beavers are being punished for being abandoned in the conference musical chairs
* Georgia clearly had the easiest SEC schedule as they play all the bottom feeders (LSU, SC, Mizzou) and only played a combined 25 Q1/Q2 games
* Arkansas at Nebraska would be the highest profile regional with Van Horn returning to Nebraska (see if you can spot a certain Smart A$$ comment by myself.
* Alabama has no business being seeded above Southern Miss

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMHO, Nebraska has ZERO business hosting a region. They won 1 game against Auburn and got blitzed in the other two. They lost two games to pedestrian Michigan team. They were swept be a terrible Ohio State team. They are a product of a mediocre big10 east and still lost too many games against midwest teams who simply don't give a damn about the sport. Their best series win was at home against USC who also has no business being ranked. I've never had respect for Nebraska. Only Notre Dame has been propped up more by the NCAA.
