We win tomorrow we'll host, or we at least better get one over Bama.

They'll decide the host sites before the game ends, but the game might decide whether LSU becomes a #1 seed or a #2 seed for whatever particular regional they are sent to by the NCAA.

I'm doing my best here!

EDIT: The last six could be...

FSU, CSF, Auburn, TCU, SCAR, & LSU.

It would help if Oklahoma and Clemson both lost the games they are playing right now.

I know that Kansas State and Georgia Tech won't let us down.

EDIT: A win from Rutgers over UConn tonight wouldn't hurt either.

Good info!

capacity = 10150 2-1 vs. Miss. St. in last series
W, 10-6, vs. Florida (5/26)

10150 is a number that the NCAA might look at, it is our only hope!

I would be mildly peeved if LSU lost out on hosting to the crappy arse facilities in Norman, OK.

I agree, my Dad and I were talking today and we booth agreed that LSU may not deserve a Regional but becuase of our history, fan base and ticket sales we may get one. I bet there will be some pissed off people from other schools if we do.

I'm not saying that I want Bama to beat LSU tomorrow, but you have to admit that it would be pretty damn funny if Bama won their 9th consecutive game tomorrow afternoon, but missed out on hosting an NCAA regional while LSU just squeaked in before the game was played.

Damn, a 6-run 4th for the Sooners.

Games are not going our way right now. Clemson and OU are playing like they want to host or something...

OU, 8
KSU, 2 (top 5)

GT, 1
Clem, 3 (top 4)

Not to mention that ever seat will be sold and then some! I would say half the other Regionals would not be able to say the same thing! IMHO
