Found it šŸ˜€ And it makes sense with how the teams are today as far as H/A. From Google:

In NCAA baseball, the home team for each game is determined by a set of rules that prioritize fairness and minimize travel for teams. Generally, the team that has been the home team the fewest number of times in the tournament gets to be the home team. If that's tied, the team that's been the visiting team more often gets the designation. If both teams have an equal number of home and visitor games, then a coin flip decides.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  1. 1. First Round:
    In the first round of regional tournaments, the higher seed is the home team.

  2. 2. Subsequent Games:
    After the first round, the team that's been the home team the fewest number of times gets to be the home team in subsequent games.

  3. 3. Tiebreaker:
    If both teams have been the home team the same number of times, the team that's been the visitor more often is designated as the home team.

  4. 4. Coin Flip:
    If both teams have the same number of home and visitor games, the NCAA games committee or representative decides the home team, with a coin flip being the final step if other tiebreakers don't apply.

They should add one more scenario where if the same teams play each other 3 times, the higher seed is the home team in game 3.

That being said, if we had been home team today, we would have only scored 11 runs so all's well that ends well.

I think it could be a little simplerā€¦if 2 teams play back-to-back games then they must switch H/A.
 
Leaving the stadium I had a really surreal moment. A couple of guys were chanting SEC. It is just odd to be on the receiving end of the SEC chant when used in a mocking way. We are used to being the instigators of that - along with most non-SEC schools.

I guess we turned to the dark side. But for the record, other than maybe some really really young OU fans, you will never hear us chant SEC. We are far more likely to still chant it mockingly to established SEC schools. We are glad to be in the SEC because it is good for our future in sports but we hate the cult of the SEC.

And I think the UNC fans can understand because there has been talk of them joining the SEC so they can imagine the surreal feeling they would get if that happens.

Anyway, not at all complaining about those guys. Hell I would have joined them if people would have understood I was also doing it with a mocking intent. But they wouldnā€™t so I couldnā€™t.

How was the game (other than the final score)? Boshamer got a renovation about 15 years ago, but it still doesn't have the amenities of some of the nicer SEC stadiums.

In a few years, UNC fans will likely be chanting SEC in a non-mocking way. I am actually surprised that anti-SEC bias still exists -- as a lot of UNC fans have soured on the ACC the last couple of years.
 
  • No. 3 Arkansas (won Fayetteville Regional)
  • No. 4 Auburn (won Auburn Regional)
  • No. 5 North Carolina (won Chapel Hill Regional)
  • No. 6 LSU (won Baton Rouge Regional)
  • No. 8 Oregon State (won Corvallis Regional)
  • No. 9 Florida State (won Tallahassee Regional)
  • No. 13 Coastal Carolina (won Conway Regional)
  • No. 14 Tennessee (won Knoxville Regional)
  • No. 15 UCLA (won Los Angeles Regional)
  • Arizona (won Eugene Regional)
  • Duke (won Athens Regional)
  • Louisville (won Nashville Regional)
  • Miami (won Hattiesburg Regional)
  • Murray State (won Oxford Regional)
  • UTSA (won Austin Regional)
  • West Virginia (won Clemson Regional)
So the SEC has 4 Gosh I would think they would have more
 
thats about how many they have every year. they have had 8 out of the past 10 teams in the championship game winning all five. they are the premier baseball conf and second isnt close.

ā€œThe SEC: It Just Means Moreā€ Losses

I would say that part of it is that when you have more teams admitted, that includes more bubble teams and that those teams arenā€™t as likely to move on. But the SEC only went 4-4 with their national seeds, including losses by the overall 1 & 2 seeds. And none of their 2/3 seeds moved on to the Supers.

Iā€™ll add this here, since thereā€™s no existing general CWS thread.

5 of 16 teams remaining are from the ACC. Thatā€™s pretty great. Good showing by my Miami Hurricanes this evening to get past #16 national seed Southern Miss.

yeah, really nice showing from the ACC thus far after it was disrespected during the seeding process.

Baseball is a random sport. Stuff like that happens more often in baseball. Iā€™ll defer to the larger sample size of the last five years. Over time, the best league will outperform and that has certainly been the SEC.

It was fun. I wasn't expecting OU to win. It was more about enjoying an afternoon off work and if OU won then great. Despite having a couple of CWS championships (one being my last year in college) and a recent CWS final appearance, we are not near the baseball program of UNC, IMO. Our deep CWS runs were basically flukes from teams that got hot at the right moment. When we beat Georgia Tech in 1994, I doubt we would win 2/10 of those games - not with Garciapara and Veritek on the other side. Probably lucky it wasn't best 2 of 3 back then.

Anyway, I was impressed with the facilities. I can't compare to other SEC schools but OU's baseball facilities are just not great at all - just not set up to create a great atmosphere. They've renovated a bit but it is far behind programs like UNC.

I wish our baseball field (and basketball arena) were on campus. Technically both are connected to the campus but they are about a mile south of the real part of campus. Love that UNC athletic facilities are all right there in the middle of campus.
 
I think the ACC has proven itself in this tournament with 5 teams advancing to the Supers and with only 3 teams hosting regionals. An argument can be made that we are equivalent - top to bottom - with the mighty SEC. Where the league needs to step up is winning the CWS and break the SEC's 5 year grip on the championship - here's looking at you Heels!

For now. Odds are that the new UNC basketball arena will be moved to the old Chapel Hill airport. Glad you had a good day, but not too good of a day.

I'll be rooting for UNC.

The crazy thing is that the SEC never had a CWS champion before Georgia won it in 1990.

Only like three of their schools had a softball team before 1997. This SEC dominance thing is a far newer phenomenon that they like to admit. Or I am just old.

College baseball was primarily a southwestern sport until the 1990s.

True although Miami had some good success in the '80s.

In the state of Oklahoma in the '80s it was all about Oklahoma State. They had great teams with two of the college greats in Pete Incaviglia and Robin Ventura. Made it to three finals and were the best team in a couple of them but just couldn't get over that hump. They always had better facilities than OU. They do now as well as they opened a pretty nice new stadium a few years ago. Unfortunately for them, OU being in the SEC is going to hurt them.

Ventura had a good pro career. Incaviglia couldn't lay off the high fastball in the pros. They are best known for Ventura getting his a** beat by Nolan Ryan and Incaviglia for letting a ball bounce off his head for a home run. haha
