75% of people turn a radio broadcast off after the game is over. Not to mention, the only people that listen on the radio are those within 30 minutes of Ruston or those with the motivation and technical savy (albeit minimal) to find online streaming. For the purposes of this conversation, you have to count the official announcement as when the public was informed.
I hope I'm wrong but 4 teams from C USA is a long shot. Average number selected in conference history is 3.15. Chose Te h and Marshall bithches. Chose Marshall and Tech rightfully complains. 5 teams - no way. Hope I'm wrong.
Fortunately the baseball selection is still fair. We are 31. Almost, if not all, of those who were supposed to won their conference for the auto bid. Potential #4s who did not get the auto bid get left at home. Potential #2s don't.
Marshall was never a factor unless the won the tournament. Not sure of their final RPI, but it was still in the 60s Saturday.
this morning, both d1 baseball and baseball America have us as #2 seed in BR, for what that is worth
I wouldn't want to be in LSU's regional. They've been hot lately.
Twitter. Facebook. Posting on the website. The problem with communicating information these days is not that you can't do it, it's how you do it. One thing that seems to be missing is this old ancient thing of "email". It seems I receive an email everyday from the online LA Tech merchandise store - aka as Fanatics Retail Group about ordering stuff. You have to use all of it and not give up on any of it and a simple email blast about the watch party would have been great. Would it have made a big difference in attendance, probably not. I honestly believe they tie themselves in knots over in Ruston trying to decide who to invite or not invite to different events.
Anybody going to the party?
