Calm down BJ Jr. We've been in articles by him quite a few times. Him and Toman know each other decently well. He's been a fan of our program for a few years.

He also put out his first projection today and we are the 2 seed in the charlottesville regional as i expected and discussed in another thread. We actually have a very long shot at a host but we would have to run off another streak like we just had and something like 19 and 3 and win 3 of the 4 acc games left and also win the conference tourney. It is unlikely but we just ran off a streak like that minus the signature wins and weve beaten all 4 of those acc programs and won the tourney recently, all im saying is theres a chance. That ohio loss is really the only ugly mark we have as they sit 5 and 23.

I think to get on the 1 line we will have to lose no more than 2 games the rest of the way including the tournament. that means we sweep Longwood, UNCA, Gardner-Webb and either CCU or Radford and (both longshots even with the Chants down this year) plus 2 of 3 of the ACC games.

I will say, Toman has done an incredible job with the team this season. All of our teams should be dominating the Big South like this.

Favorite line from the article, "So we tell our guys, ‘Every game is the most important game of the year.’ That’s how we’re taking it, one game at a time."

That kind of attitude prevents most WTF games. Love it

If we make it through next tuesday unscathed it may be worth discussing more as a probabity. This is a key stretch and our pitching depth will be given a tournament like test with 5 games in 5 days.

We don't really have a shot at a one seed. What we do have an outside shot at is a 2-seed in a regional where the 1-seed can't host. Coastal got shipped to Arizona St a few years back and they were the 1, ASU the 2. It's not likely to happen at all, but I've got to imagine that Barber would put in a bid.

I think we have a shot at being a Regional Host. Granted we have to continue winning, both in and out of conference. It would be great for LU to be a host.

To have any shot we have to sweep longwood unca and jmu. Those are all dogs that would kill us. Thats allowing us a little breathing room. If herndon is indeed lost it will really hurt us the next few weeks. I know fulghum is starting saturday and the kid pitching for longwood is pretty darn good. I think toman may throw a curveball and then start parks or clowers against tech and then throw lyons against jmu to try to ensure we dont lose a bad bad game there. We really need parks to step up and contribute this week in cars absence.

According to the game notes Bean was shifted to Saturday so unless nick or scribe have tweeted otherwise the question of fulghum starting would be for Sunday
