No other school takes such pride in being the doormat of their conference than Aggy. That's why they are such pathetic losers.

Right, it could be done, but I don't think any of the teams would be too keen on playing some 9:00 am games, which would be necessary to play all the games at one site.

Theyre like the hoe that hangs out with gangmembers, gets shared around, and then talks [ Finebaum ] to other gangs.

I like the analogy. The SEC has certainly made Aggy their bioatch. Aggy just lays back and enjoys it, because their alternative is sheep sex.

Omaha has another ballpark where the Storm Chasers play. It "only" seats 9000 but I think that would be plenty if they were playing two games simultaneously. Like I said....it won't happen but it could. There was some commentary again this year from a couple of college baseball analysts who advocated lowering the number of playoff teams and turning every round into a series.

Technically you were a 25% right BUT you expressed it as a "want" not a prediction. It's good to have dreams.
Go home after two losses = check.
Know they don't belong = nope. as long as they "belong" to the SEC, they are winners.
Believe they don't belong = see above
Feeling stick with them for a long time = the only feelings that stick with them are feelings of unearned self-importance and mutton anus.

In the old days, it was all 8 in one bracket, right? I seem to remember morning games when I was a kid. And if you came from the loser's bracket, you had to double-dip the other team to win it all. Sometimes the championship was won on Saturday, sometimes Sunday.
Also seem to remember that once they went to the 4/4 format (maybe around 2000 or when the Super Regional format was introduced? ) the winners of the brackets just played a one game championship. Always thought it was weird if one team already had a loss and the other didn't, the former only needed to win one game.
Also seem to remember they used to reseed the teams. Not a big fan of the 3 game playoff...just seems like too long to drag out a singular event. Wouldn't be opposed to going back to one of the old formats.

With slight objection to "old days"...yes, it was an eight team bracket as you describe. Don't recall re-seeding but could have happened. Didn't mean as much in the single bracket because loser's traveled across the bracket. And, I think your point about a "single event" is interesting. It's really not a single event. It's a regional followed by a super-regional but it is branded as the CWS as if its a singular event. The only thing I think is too long is the typical game itself. Gotta speed some stuff up within these games (last night's game an exception)
EDIT - would have less objection had it been "good old days"

By singular event I mean Omaha itself. You're talking 11 days if it goes 3 games.

Yeah. Given that the general odds of a CWS team winning it all are 12.5%, going 0 for 5 isn't a statistical anomaly. Sucks that other teams like Coastal Carolina make good on their one chance at our expense.

I get it. I just don't think that baseball is a game meant to be played in that format anymore than football should be played in a series.

Well, it was an outstanding season. I skimmed through a few pages of the game thread, but am not going to subject myself to the rest. So so proud of these guys and the coaching staff. They represented the University with class and excellence.
Now we fall into the dreaded summer off-season. Ugh.
