I don't remember - erections from 2016 are a little foggy at this point
You should see a doctor about that. Are we talking memory or medical issues - I am confused |

doesn’t look like the right location for the bleachers, they should be in the area off to the left behind the championship banner on the wall. They are on the area between the parking lot and the left-field fence, starting to the right of the bullpens, and on the west side of the parking lot. I walked past them at 9 this morning, talked to the construction crew. They are not being moved. They can't be where they have been in the past. They can't give up the parking those bleachers eliminated in the past because half of the parking in the Goss lot is gone this year because the southern half is the staging area for construction of the new CF facility. Believe what you will. They would not be building those bleachers at this late a date of they hadn't already been told we'd be hosting. |

Setting up bleachers is not necessarily a guarantee to anything. Could be like a pitcher walking toward the dugout after thinking he just landed strike three on the batter with two outs. In 2016 when we left the stadium after sweeping UCLA there was speculation that we had inside info that we could be hosting. We all know how that turned out. There was no way we would have hosted in 2016, so there was no need to erect temporary bleachers. We were always going to be one of the last at-large teams selected. |

They were installing temporary bleachers behind the left field fence this morning, between the bullpens and the scoreboard. Not doing that unless we are hosting for sure. |

No inside info, just logic. As I said on the other thread, we were not going to spend the time, effort and money to erect bleachers we wouldn't be using. |

I remember the thread I started announcing TB as the new head coach, based on a somewhat shaky post - and the initial heat I took - worked out in the end!  |

I will say seeding can be so critical to advancing. One of the projections I saw had Wake Forest as the 2 in our regional, and it had the Ducks a 3 seed in Oklahoma State’s regional. I honestly wonder if I would rather travel and play in Oklahoma State’s bracket than have a dangerous Wake Forest team in ours? Remember, we rocked Oklahoma State earlier this season, and Segura mowed them down in his second career start. I understand teams can progress over a season, and it was just one game, but I remember feeling very confident that we were better than them after that game (just eye test watching the game). Wake Forest has some ridiculous pitchers, one being Chase Burns who is right up there with Hagan Smith as one of the best pitchers in the country (he has more K’s than Smith and throws harder). Don’t really love seeing them as the 2 in our bracket. I don't think we'd ever want to travel over hosting, but point taken. Not all 2 seeds are created equally. That said, most 2 seeds no one wants to see. |
