Baseball at Texas Tech, Sun 6/4, ~ 7:30 pm

Pay

 

Wake started after 11 last night.

 

One thing consistent with postseason play is the NCAA hates giving useful updates. Weather is clearing up going forward. Once we start we should be good.

Go GATORS!

I am just slow this late in the afternoon.

 

Since there is a delay and people are asking here is the NCAA rules on home team from the host manual:

HOME TEAM – REGIONALS
For first-round games, the highest-seeded team shall be designated as the home team. In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to a formula applied by the games committee. In determining which of two teams in any game will be the home team, the games committee or the NCAA site representatives uses the following guidelines:
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament shall be designated the home team.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA site representative(s) shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question.
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games.
4. New for 2023, if the two teams are different seeds, the better seeded team will be designated as the home team.
5. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by a coin toss. The coin toss will be held on the field immediately after the game that causes the situation to develop and both coaches are to be in attendance. The higher seeded team can determine whether they will call the coin toss, or defer the call to their opponent.

 

From the manual:
As a general guideline, no game should start later than 11 p.m. local time.

 

Earl Petty—Never heard of him….

I know Tom and Richard but that’s it.

 

Anyone named Petty knows plenty about putting hits out there.

 

But the waiting is the hardest part

 

Whoever with ESPN that came up with the idea of making a 20 second commercial to run nonstop during a weather delay needs to be fired. That is all.

 

and skinned with a carrot peeler

 

Ocala's own College of Central Florida won the NJCAA national championship today in Grand Junction, Colorado by beating Wabash Valley College 13-6, finishing their season 56-7. Coach Marty Smith has done a great job with that program. Here's a link to their schedule:

Xavier had their ace closer in the game with 3 outs to close Vandy and a weather delay was called for lightning. That was a couple of hours ago and they are still in a delay. A break for Vandy but I hope they still get beat.

 

No lightning…LFG! Play ball!

 

So Iowa, if I understand correctly, we're the visitors tonight. After victory and order is restored, we will become the home team tomorrow on our way to the Gville supers and eventually Omaha?

 

I couldn’t think of a Tom Petty song for UF baseball team/game. I sure hope it’s not Free Falling after game tomorrow!

 

Running down a dream?
