Garnet And Black Attack, a South Carolina Gamecocks community

The NCAA released the regional hosts for the 2011 NCAA baseball tournament. South Carolina will be hosting along with Florida and Vanderbilt from the SEC. The ACC led all conferences with 5 hosts. The NCAA will release the entire 64-team field on Monday along with the top eight national seeds.

The Gamecocks were given a 20.3% chance of making it to Omaha and a 1.8% chance of winning it all. H/T: CT

Once again Ron Morris misses the point entirely. Most fans are mad because Coastal allowed people to buy 90 tickets (not exaggerating) right after CCU qualified to host the Super Regional. What is one person going to do with 90 tickets? Right, scalp them. Either A) CCU knew it didn't have enough fans to fill their own stadium and wanted to vindictively gouge USC fans or B) they were too stupid to enact a per person ticket limit. Either scenario is unforgivable. I don't blame CCU for wanting to ensure their home field advantage - they've earned it. But letting a singular person buy 90 tickets to a high-demand game is just asinine.

Check out these weird comments by USC baseball coach Ray Tanner when asked about Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore. One can only imagine if the "commonality" those two shared was blonde or brunette. Comments start at the 3:28 mark.
