Gents, we lost to Vitello and his dumbassery but we are a lock for a high 2-seed. God be with the host of that regional. We comin' in with Holman, Jump, and guns blazing. Cardiac Tigers gave it a shot in the 9th but came up a run short. At least Omaha still means Ole Miss at home again.
Tech lost to Dallas Baptist but they are a 2-seed lock. Hats off the Grambling and Tulane for capturing spots. Hats off to Lafayette and Nicholls who were already in. This makes it (6) Louisiana schools in. Below is where we stand going into the selection show. Only question for Tiger Nation is in what regional do we land?
