Then their fans have no clue how the process works. No way was Tulane going to College Station … and they could not be sent to Houston. Only bus trip for them was Baton Rouge … and they were only one of two #3 seeds that could bus to Baton Rouge … the other being the Cajuns, which was not going to happen with the need in Texas. Thus, if Tulane made the field (which looked quite likely), it was going to be Tulane in Baton Rouge and Louisiana in Houston (most likely) or College Station (outside shot at Dallas).

Very well said Brian. You would think with the baseball success Tulane has historically had, that their fans would know better. But there has been a somewhat extended postseason drought for them, so maybe they are a bit rusty.
Yea but Tulane hasn't had success since 2008...the last time they made a regional.
Thanks. You basically said the exact thing I did. I never said that they were successful last year or the 5 years prior. I said historically they were, as in the 80's, 90's, and 00's. So they should somewhat know how teams get sent to regionals. They had a decade of success and post season play since the Regional format was introduced. The selection committee's MO has typically been, if you can't bus there, then you probably have a somewhat extended flight. If the NCAA wasn't bussing them to BR, then they weren't flying them to Texas or Nashville or anywhere close. They were going to fly them somewhere further away.
