Oh yea you're right, I benefited from that so called "weak" schedule, but none of the other SU players did.  Weak schedule or not, we still took the Region both years so say what you want, but I dont think you can say the "REGION TOURNAMENT" was weak. 

Compared to other regions? I sure would. South region baseball isn't what it used to be. The region has only had 1 champion win more than one game in Appleton since 2003 (Emory 2007, obviously). It was never the best region, but it was better than this. I'm hopeful that the changes in the USAS will help that, and the addition of Birmingham Southern to the mix.

I would agree that the South the past couple years hasnt been as strong in year pass but I do believe from top to bottom the south is better than a lot of regionals out there even in down years.

Webster sure didn't look like a 6 seed today...note to other teams you better keep websters runners off base or it could be a long day.

Wow Webster has 177 stolen bases on the year...that's mind boggling...

I'll give their coach credit...eith he just pitched his ace because or he knew CNU struggless against LH pitching.  Either way right now CNU no match!!!!!!!!

He went with their ace or at least their best pitcher statistical...1.98 era 68.1 innings 77k's and opponent's batting .195 thats pretty impressive

forheavendial4999...........You sure do no alot about the USA South and the ODAC for someone who hasn't seen a game all year........Im sure you get bored over there in South Korea but I dont look too far into your opinions personally.

I live in the 2nd largest city in Asia and larger than any in the US. I don't lack for things to do. I'm sure it's not the thriving metropolis of Winchester, but then what is.

I haven't always lived in South Korea, you know. I've lived in several different places. It's also fortunate that baseball is a game that lends itself to being followed on paper...especially with the play by plays available through most school sites now.

It's off putting to some just how much you can glean from them if you know what you're doing, without ever having to be at the games...but you can and I often do.

As for what you decide to do with my comments...I really couldn't care less. If people enjoy, appreciate or are enriched by them, great, that's why they're there. If you don't, I really don't care but it's pretty poor form to say so.

My friend, if you set there and watch each game play by play then I would have to say that you dont have too many things to do.

I do follow a decent number of games using live stats or radio, but a lot of times I'm at work too.

But what I was really referring to are post-game box scores that often times have the PBP attached. You can read through one of those in a few minutes. And there are a lot of games that I don't have much interest in because I know neither of the teams are going to be in the regionals.

I'm sure the options for things to do here in Seoul don't rival drinking beer in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Winchester, but I manage to make do and keep busy enough during the evening when, it should be noted, baseball is not happening back in the states. Even a noon game in the Eastern time zone is 1 a.m. here.

I think you would be surprised if u were in Winchester this weekend...whole lot more would be going on with the Apple blossom festival where around 250,000 people are in town...probably nothing compared to Seoul but around here its a pretty big deal

I've seen such things. I really have nothing against Winchester, I've been there and it's actually a pretty nice town. But I do have something against the idea that Korea is somehow boring or that because I follow something I've followed for 20 years while I'm here, that I must not have much to do, especially coming from someone (not you) with connections to a place that isn't exactly hopping 24/7.

It's completely non-sensical.

I didnt think that you had anything against Winchester..I was just getting a plug in for Apple Blossom ...keep on following the game

I agree, I think it was another down year for usa south..i can remember freshmen yr(2007) SU finished 27-15 and finished 6th in the conference and all 7 teams were at or over .500.. every weekend was a dog fight regardless of who you were playing...Watching some of the conference games this yr I just don't see the same competition level from top to bottom of the league.. some of the teams were over matched and it is hard to tell if its because teams like SU and CNU are that good or the teams that they were playing are that bad..same is true with the ODAC the couple teams that i did see did not impress me but I'll say I think the best team is going to the regionals from the ODAC

Don't have much to add...there were times in the past that it was 6 pretty decent teams and then Greensboro

I think the guy to replace Naff at Ferrum isn't the guy for them, apparently, that or Abe was just better than it seemed. Never seemed like he had enough pitching to go the distance and his teams didn't seem that discliplined, but it seems in retrospect like he might have been doing better than it looked. Ferrum is not exactly the kind of place a lot of young people are likely to be hankering to go.

Wesleyan has been on a slow burn downwards since the players Coach Fox brought in left. Like frying a frog down there.

Hopefully Piedmont and LaGrange can pick the level back up because with Shenandoah leaving, it doesn't feel like a lot is left. Piedmont has a terrific looking facility (regional caliber and just a nice place to watch a ballgame) and is in a pretty area, even though it's a very small town. But it's not too too far from Atlanta and not far from Clemson either. 

Speaking about Ferrum..what happened to their field..they use to have one of the nicest fields in the usa south if not the best but after talking to the SU players after the series down there they said it was in worst condition than Bridgeforth and that is pretty hard to do. As for NCW, they aren't getting the talent they once got, their team speed doesn't even compare to what they once had. Piedmont and LaGrange are two good pick ups for the conference..Both should be able to recruit the GA area hot bed with success and get the conference back to where it used to be..too bad Shenandoah will not be apart of it.

Yeah, I'll be very surprised if Shenandoah goes to TN...I think and hope they go to the Kean(mid-athlantic) region..if they are sent to the marietta region that would have to be classified as the toughest region with Marietta, Heidelberg and SU.

Is there any chance that they might move one of the texas teams over to Millington such as Texas-Tyler?

If there is an upset in the ASC tournament, and Chapman gets a bid...maybe. Then you might have Trinity, ASC champ, HSU, UTT, Linfield, Redlands, Chapman and UT-Tyler could go to Millington. If that surprise ASC champ was Louisiana or Mississippi, then they might go instead.

I think if Shenandoah goes to another region that region is automatically going to look pretty tough on paper. But right now Shenandoah's only 2-4 against teams that are locks or clinched to be in the tournament (CNU, Cortland, Frostburg). Sometimes records can be deceiving. Either Marietta or New Jersey are likely to be strong regionals regardless of whether Shenandoah is there or not. Heidelberg could theoretically go to Bloomington, as could Adrian. Impossible to say whether that will happen or not.

Majority of those teams are 500+ from millingon...
Trinity 515
HSU 649
Linfield, Redlands, Chapman 1,500 plus

On the other note, I'm a little bit concerned about SU against tough competition...however, the 2-4 record doesnt tell the whole story...in the sample you have to put in RMC, MU, Salisbury along with the three teams that you mentioned, making their record 6-4
The offense has dropped off a bit and especially against the top tier teams....In those 10 games SU batting .264, 4.8 runs per game(if u take the 12 runs they put up on cnu out it would be in the 3s) and 2.4 XBHs per game

Why would be why I said "UT-Tyler could go to Millington" not those other teams. I'm glad you felt you needed to say that Linfield, Redlands and Chapman are more than 500 miles from Tennessee. Hardin-Simmons is in the same city as the regional, making them a damn unlikely candidate to be moved. I love when people add things I've already covered.

Methodist hasn't clinched crap. Neither has Salisbury. The South is so weak this year that I don't see being on the bottom of the regional rankings as meaning very much.

Randolph-Macon is in, and technically should have been counted, though I hardly think anyone from the ODAC was a quality win this year.

On another board, it was mentioned that Concordia IL has a dearth of quality wins, and their schedule looks fairly similar to Shenandoah's if you ask me. Shen is in a better league, but this was a really off year for the USAS from the looks of things. Whither Ferrum and NC Wesleyan?

My mistake i misead ur post....easy bro...I agree Methodist and Salisbury havent secure a spot in the regions but are in the talking..so i think justifies them being used

Fair enough on the misread. Sorry to be so jumpy...some people on this board seem to be gunning for me so I'm probably a little defensive.

IIRC, there is a criteria for record against the teams in the tournament. I could be wrong about that...could be projecting that from some other sport or some other level. But that's what I was using. I don't think there's a Nitty Gritty sheet like in D-I basketball where any win over a top 100 team gets consideration.

I miss the days when almost everyone in the Dixie Conference was good. It would be a lot easier to tell more about teams like Shenandoah (and CNU and Methodist) from the conference tournament if the league had the depth it used to.

Its alright.. im not gunning for anybody..just want to talk some d3 baseball

I agree, I think it was another down year for usa south..i can remember freshmen yr(2007) SU finished 27-15 and finished 6th in the conference and all 7 teams were at or over .500.. every weekend was a dog fight regardless of who you were playing...Watching some of the conference games this yr I just don't see the same competition level from top to bottom of the league.. some of the teams were over matched and it is hard to tell if its because teams like SU and CNU are that good or the teams that they were playing are that bad..same is true with the ODAC the couple teams that i did see did not impress me but I'll say I think the best team is going to the regionals from the ODAC

Lets get some talk going for the New York Region...

Im not that familiar with this region so help me out guys...
4 conf with Pool A bids
SUNYAC-Cortland State mostly getting the bid unless a big upset takes place
LL-RPI or Skidmire will probably be the two to fight for that bid
SKY-Famingdale state or St. Josephs
NEAC-SUNYIT or Husson are the favorites out of the neac

Who will be in the hunt for an at large bid...St. John Fisher 17-4 in-region, definately Cortland State if they dnt win the tourny..anyone else that i'm missing?

There is also some talk about some teams moving to the New York Region...what teams are a good possibility to move their?

Congrats to RMC and Coach Ray Hedrick!    This program is just going to get better and better..

Especially with their new baseball complex, beautiful facility and a nice recruiting tool to have..kudos to RMC athletic department for investing in their baseball program...SU athletic department/President need to take some notes

Well you know the NCAA hiccuped (again) when only 12 of 38 teams in the South region are within 500 miles of Millington Tn. 

When you factor that ineptitude with the normal NCAA efficiency...you could get all the South teams sent 800 miles packing.

Hopefully they disperse the highest rated  teams so that they don't all knock each other out in the regionals. 

I'm guessing that no one else put in a legitimate bid for the regional(when NCAA announced all the regional sites the south was TBA for a decent amount of time)  i hope the NCAA took into consideration the travel distances  for majority of south region teams and gave the regional to Millington as a last option. 

There are so many excellent venues in the southeast that would make more geographical sense and shame if they didnt but a bit in. i.e. Piedmont, emory, Washington & Lee, CNU if they got lights, and not to mention the teams that could host with the help of a minor league stadium...Salisbury, Averett, Lynchburg, Greenboro, Roanoke

Yeah, I'll be very surprised if Shenandoah goes to TN...I think and hope they go to the Kean(mid-athlantic) region..if they are sent to the marietta region that would have to be classified as the toughest region with Marietta, Heidelberg and SU.

Agreed. All 3 are above average.

I would think you are ranked #4, and beat the #1 team twice, you jump to #1. I could see CNU at #1, and then SU at #3. Then again, I am not sure what the other top teams did this past week.

Didn't CNU beat SU 3 times this year when they were ranked #1?  How many times do you have to do that before being ranked #1?

Yes, they have but before this week they split the series during the season.  So, its not like CNU been getting snubbed by the polls.  CNU will definately jump over SU and probably get the number 1 spot when the rankings come out tomorrow.
