The ACC got screwed. Only one thing to do to makeup for that and that is perform on the field. We will see.

The last two years for nc state really put things in perspective for me as a tech fan.
Last year was unforgivable. Being told your team can’t play for a championship and offered no explanation grounded in any rules, guidelines or precedent last year would really make me wonder why I watch college sports at all.
Getting snubbed this year would be “meh” in any other year. But combined with last year, I actually feel bad for the Wolfpack.

Unless the conference performs well and is inexplicably disqualified in Omaha like last year with nc state.

NC State could have won it all last year, except for a decision by the NCAA. NC State could have won it all this year, except for a decision by the NCAA. Anyone see a pattern?

I’m shocked I tell you that the great leaders of the ACC have put their beloved conference at the mercy of others. And lo and behold the others dismiss them. The ACC is a joke but I’m sure our conference leaders will be in their fully stocked luxury box at the finals. They are probably to busy hanging at their beach condo wondering how they can funnel NIL money to Chapel Hill to worry about such things as baseball.

Interesting, this article teased Hall and GT player reaction to the seeding. So far none, or you have to subscribe to see the article. https://247sports.com/college/georgia-tech/Article/Georgia-Tech-Seeding-Raises-Questions-188150955/
And this is bland, not even the usual coach speak about being glad to have the opportunity to play in the NCAAs: https://ramblinwreck.com/georgia-tech-named-no-2-seed-at-knoxville-regional/
Maybe there is something coming. Our team can beat anyone. Just beating Tenn twice will be really hard.
Back to the Camels (really cool mascot since those suckers are nasty and champion spitters), they will probably throw their best pitcher Thomas Harrington against us. He goes deep into the game (no pitch count
)and had trouble in his last two outings. Earlier in the year he was written up as a top draft prospect.
And this guy is their closer:
Who do we throw? Medich (Campbell), Grissom (Tenn), Staff day Finateri / Carwile ?? (Tenn).

Relief pitcher Ben Joyce, the "Volunteer Fireman." 92% of balls thrown are in triple digits. Clocked at 105.5 mph. He threw one at 104 in champ game against Gators. But, he also walked one and gave up a HR. Pitchers for UT are dangerous. The field is laser sharp. It is baseball and one game at a time. Don't know why I can't quote anymore without it going to multi-message.

Includes regional schedule for Knocksville and times. Well, depending on weather. Go Jackets! GBO!

Ugh. Am I going to have to get ESPN+?

I think that has to be the plan. Medich in Game 1, Grissom in Game 2. I'm sure it'll be opponent-dependent beyond that.
Obviously the goal is to win Game 1, but the secondary goal is to preserve our bullpen. I'd love to save Maxwell for Game 2.

It's possible. It's so confusing with these ESPN streaming games if it is covered with your cable account or have to separately purchase ESPN+. The good news is I think it's just 4.95 a month and you can cancel when all the games are over. Wouldn't surprise me if any games against UT would be on SEC Network so there might be non-streaming options for other games.

My NCSU neighbors all think this was 'punishment' for State's complaints after last year's debacle.
