Pitt the third

[Peter Gibbons]

National seeds lose regionals all the time. It happened four times just last year.

But Miami never has.

And Jim Morris never did.

Vanderbilt was #1 overall and lost to Michigan.

I know that stings you and you want to make it go away but you can't.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I know that you want to avoid saying anything critical about one of your heroes, but Miami never lost in the same fashion as Vanderbilt did.

You can keep trying to flail away but it's not going to change the facts.

Vandy went 3-2, losing to a #2 seed. Miami went 0-2, getting blown out by both the #4 and #3 seeds.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

But Miami never has.

And Jim Morris never did.

Vanderbilt was #1 overall and lost to Michigan.

Small sample size. Two games.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

You know what doesn't happen all the time? Losing to a #4 seed 10-2 on Friday and losing to a #3 seed 12-2 on Saturday. At home. As a #1 seed. With an RPI of #12. At least Vandy lost to a #2 seed.

This is comical dodging.

That Miami team was overrated and was a surprise host. They were very likely #16 by the committee.

Vanderbilt was #1 overall and a juggernaut.

Lost to Michigan twice.



It's funny how much it pains you that Tim Corbin only has 3 Omaha appearances in 16 seasons.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

And Jim Morris never did.

Jim Morris absolutely lost a home regional as a top 8 seed, losing to Ohio State and Wichita State.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

By the way, losing a regional as a national seed is a little more respectable than bungling the program to the point of going 28-26 and missing the tournament at a blue blood program.

Look at the lengths Jagr will go to to defend other coaches at other programs when they were eliminated as the #1 overall seed at home by a Big Ten team.

But your precious RPI had us at #12. Now we were overrated? Your RPI missed by 75 spots? Weird.

Since when is it odd for a team to lose two games to a #2 seed? Isn't that a small sample size?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

But I thought baseball was random. At least that's how you have explained away the last 17 seasons.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Vandy went 3-2,

Who cares?

No such credit was given when Miami went 3-2 in 2014 and lost to a 2-seed.

This is typical nonsense from you.

You're hurt that Tim Corbin has failed a lot at Vandy.

Boo hoo.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

But your precious RPI had us at #12. Now we were overrated?

Everybody was surprised when they got a host spot. They should've been a #2 somewhere.

Boo hoo.

2014 was explained away as random.

Nothing about Corbin bothers me. At least not until he runs Vandy into the ground, Jim Coker style.

There ya go, run from the RPI that you so valiantly defend when it's convenient.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Where they would have been blasted by the #3 seed and #4 seed. Being a #1 or #2 doesn't change the fact that Jim Bowden got blown out twice.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Since when is it odd for a team to lose two games to a #2 seed? Isn't that a small sample size?

Hero worship dies hard.

Now we have Jagr defending Vandy's coach to the death after he had a 54-win team and lost at home as the #1 overall seed to Michigan.

Michigan's only other win in the entire tournament was against Memphis.

Flail.

Pathetic.

Missouri State didn't have another win in 2012.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

There ya go, run from the RPI that you so valiantly defend when it's convenient.

Of course when struggling, you just lie.

The RPI has never been the only factor.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Flail.

Pathetic.

There is a 50 page thread where you claim that the postseason is random. Now one weekend isn't random. I love beating you this badly.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Missouri State didn't have another win in 2012.

I knew that a "but 2012!" was coming.

I haven't defended that team.

But you continue defending Vanderbilt and Corbin's multiple epic fails.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Of course when struggling, you just lie.

The RPI has never been the only factor.

It is your go-to stat. Any thoughts on that 1993 tournament?
