Regional host sites announced
I'm watching the Championship game and Kansas is really handing it to Nebraska. I was wrong again. Heh. Well, Nebraska's still got a couple of innings left. It's not looking good for them. I just read, by the way, that there was a bench clearing brawl in last night's game between Kansas and Missouri. I have not heard them say anything about it as I watch today's game but have to admit that I've been in and out so may have missed it.
Anyway, the 16 Regional sites have been announced:
- Texas - Austin, TX (Big 12)
- Nebraska - Lincoln, NE (Big 12)
- Oklahoma - Norman, OK (Big 12)
- Alabama - Tuscaloosa, AL (SEC)
- Arkansas - Fayetteville, AR (SEC)
- Cal State Fullerton - Fullerton, CA (Big West)
- Clemson - Clemson, SC (ACC)
- Georgia - Athens, GA (SEC)
- Georgia Tech - Atlanta, GA (ACC)
- Kentucky - Lexington, KY (SEC)
- Mississippi - Oxford, MS (SEC)
- North Carolina - Chapel Hill, NC (ACC)
- Oregon State - Corvallis, OR (Pac 10)
- Pepperdine - Malibu, CA (WCC)
- Rice - Houston, TX (C-USA)
- Virginia - Charlottesville, VA (ACC)
So, three Big 12 schools are hosting. Kentucky and Pepperdine are the only schools who've never hosted before. And, Texas is hosting for the 35th time...more than anyone else in the field.
Seedings and the rest of the field will be announced tomorrow at 11:30 Central time on EPSN.
Random thought: I wonder what'll happen next year when Disch-Falk is being renovated. Will the committee pass regardless of how Texas is doing? Will Texas make a bid? Hmmm...
