Yes and most likely weather friendly, little chance of deep south/Texas/far west potential extreme heat and/or humidty

Please explain ESPN 3.
Do I need to pay extra for this or do I get this since I have cable?
 
Darn, I think we got a good bracket, was just hoping for something a little closer. Maybe we advance to Supers and can make the trip out to Starkville.

I agree, I was hoping for something in the Southeast as well. Gainesville would have been very nice or even Columbia SC but South Bend is a bit too far for me.
 
Ok, strategy time.

I’m very confident in both Peterson and Casparius. That said, I think Peterson starts against Michigan, just as he started first in the BET.

In these tournaments, provided you have a solid, trustworthy number two (we do), I prefer saving the highest-ceiling guy for the second game, where you’re either: probably playing the top seed for a championship slot; or playing to stay alive in the first place. Think of 2016, when we were able to start Cate against GT and saved Kay to face number one in the country Florida, in a game we were millimeters from winning.

Where are you located? I am just North of Atlanta. I did the trip to Gainesville in 2016 and Clemson in 2011. Every 5 years is about right so thought I was due this year.

I’ve been in Atlanta for over 3 years and still haven’t had an easily drivable region to go to

I'm near Cocoa FL. Gainesville is only a bit over 2 hours for me. I made the trip for a Vanderbilt game earlier this year. I would drive 10 hours or so but South Bend at 17 is a bit too much.

Yep, thought the odds were good this year. Of the 16 hosts, Columbia, Knoxville, Nashville, Gainesville, Oxford & Starkville were all doable. Plus I figured since we already played at Texas Tech this year we wouldn't be placed there. So it was almost a 50/50 chance. I'll trade it for a Super in Starkville or just perhaps someone knock off Miss St. and maybe UConn could host the Super if we advanced?

Small concern: Glancing at Michigan’s 2021 stats, it appears a majority of their top arms - including two of three starters - are lefties (which many of our top left handed hitters have struggled against this year).
 
Notre Dame’s Frank Eck Stadium will be operating at full capacity (1,825) for the 2021 NCAA Regionals.

Do any bars in hartford/manchester area show espn3?? Are they allowed to broadcast the games?
 
They might be having a weaker year, but it's worth remembering the Wolverines were the CWS runner-ups in the last real year...
 
Good bracket for UConn. Central Michigan has the best pitcher in the bracket, which will make it hard for Notre Dame. I don't think Michigan is that good, either.
 
Toying with the idea of making the 11 hour drive from NC, but my mechanic has to fix something on my car tomorrow. It's 30/70 that this can get done.

Will tickets for the UConn games be easy to get? tia
