Georgia coach Scott Stricklin shares disappointment after Bulldogs miss NCAA Tournament
Nine SEC teams made the NCAA Baseball Tournament, it was announced on Monday afternoon.
Georgia was not among those teams, despite having a head-to-head win over an LSU program during the SEC Tournament. LSU was seen as another potential bubble team.
After learning about Georgia missing the cut, coach Scott Stricklin expressed his disappointment, saying he thought the Dawgs should have gotten in over LSU and Alabama (via Rivals.com):
“I’m really disappointed. I’m disappointed for our players, our program—it was one of those things where I thought we were going to get in over LSU,” Stricklin said. “I honestly felt that. We had the same (SEC) record, our RPI and strength of schedule were in the same territory. We beat them head-to-head on a neutral site field, beat their No. 1 starter in what felt like a must-win game. They treated it that way and we did, too, and we won. I feel like, and I’m not alone, other coaches in the league felt it was Georgia, LSU and Alabama.”
Instead, the Bulldogs’ season is now over. Nine SEC teams will vie for a College World Series title, but it’s back to the drawing board for Stricklin and the Georgia program.
UGA had the worst RPI of the group and they ended up the third team out. I thought they should have made it, but the committee felt otherwise. I did not think they belonged above LSU.
Well no bias in your thinking I’m sure.
Facts aren’t biased. LSU wasn’t even amongst the last four in. UGA was third out. Not close according to the committee. Feel free to state any facts to prove your case.
There are no facts here. Only opinions. Choosing who gets into the tournament is all opinion. Dogs beat LSU and their ace at the end of the season. Show me the quote where the committee said it wasn’t close.
Here are a few more facts for you. LSU has an RPI of 28. Uga is 41. LSU won their last three conference series and four of their last five. Uga lost their last four conference series, to include to two teams that LSU beat during that same timeframe. LSU was at least seven spots above uga according to the committee. The facts back their call.
MORE PROOF OF UGA HATRED POLITICS!!!!! Proof, just how much UGA is hated and proof of discrimination against Georgia!!!!!! It’s worse in football. So now our dawgs need to know up front. Every important call will likely go against us all year. Look where the OFFICES ARE LOCATED!!!! That speaks VOLUMES all by itself. But I have POWERFUL FRIENDS.
Those who continue to attempt to hold my team down. They might find that when you SOW BAD LUCK, YOU REAP BAD LUCK!!! These people will likely find their bills higher, taxes higher as well as accidental tax mistakes. Because what goes around is about to start coming around. I’m tired of this. I myself am nobody and very poor. But my friends are rich and very powerful!!!!!
The things I just mentioned are only little starters. Bad luck can be really really really bad at times!!!! To the point where it just isn’t worth it to keep taking bribes. In football REFS need to pay special attention to my advice. Y’all need to GO OUT OF YOU’RE WAY THIS SEASON. TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE FAIR WITH GEORGIA!!!!! Because if not I fear YOU’RE OWN PERSONAL LUCK CAN GET REALLY REALLY BAD!!!!!
MESSAGE TO THOSE PROTECTING ALABAMA AND OTHERS…..
Tell the family you work for that they need to change their policies. I’m telling you now. Whoever they are. THEY ARE NOBODY!!!! You can tell them I said so!!!! Just for fun. Remind them of a man who once owned half of las Vegas. Name was similar to RESPAS. But you know about me and my spelling. He was also known as DOG!!! Remind them that his fortune went somewhere AND IT GREW. Not to me LOL. But my friends happen to be real DOG LOVERS!!!!!
WORD OF ADVICE TO YOU GAMBLERS…
Anyway, I hope everything can just be FAIR for UGA this season. Otherwise that bad luck is likely to boil over on the bad guys!!! LET THEM KNOW FROM ME. NO BETTING AGAINST GEORGIA THIS YEAR UNLESS YOU PLAN ON LOSING!!!!!! YOU CAN TAKE MY ADVICE VERY VERY SERIOUSLY. BECAUSE THE OLD WAYS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT MARCHING THOUSANDS RIGHT ACROSS THE FIELD TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO THE REFS. JUST TO SAY HELLO!!!!! But then I thought with all the injuries it really wasn’t worth it THEN. I mean we were really beaten up. The fact that Kirby Smart managed to get them to an 8-2 record using a 5th string walk on midget at QB. That was a real testament TO THE ON FIELD COACHING ABILITY OF KIRBY SMART!!!!! With that QB and all those injuries.
While the so-called on field genius DAN MULLEN managed to LOSE 4 GAMES AFTER REVIEWING A GIFT OF THE EAST!!!! Because Florida did NOT WIN IT!!! In order to WIN IT in my book. You should have beaten THE REAL GEORGIA and not their B TEAM!!!! Be that as it may.
With all that offensive talent at his disposal and no injuries to speak of. Florida could do no better than 4 LOSSES. LOSING THE LAST ONE TO A BIG 12 TEAM BY 5 TOUCHDOWNS!!!!!!!! 5 TOUCHDOWNS!!!!!
Sorry but SEC TEAMS that lose to 3 win teams in their own stadium. In the swamp. They just don’t even deserve to play for the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP IN MY BOOK. But if that wasn’t bad enough.
THEY HAD TO GO RUNNING THEIR MOUTH ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO TO POOR OU. THEN GOT RAPED BY OU!!!!!! KYLE TRASK STARTED THAT GAME AND GOT BENCHED AFTER 3 EARLY INTERCEPTIONS!!!!!!!! LOL
WHILE THE TRUE SEC EAST CHAMPIONS WERE BUSY ENDING THE UNBEATEN STREAK OF CINCINNATI!!!! As Carolina Jackpot went crazy cursing the bulldogs!!!!! And letting us know that SHANE BEAMER IS COMING TO GET US THIS SEASON!!!! SHANE BEAMER AND SOUTH CAROLINA ARE OUT TO GET GEORGIA!!!!!! There self proclaimed #1 fan assured us of this!!!!!
TO JACKPOT ALSO KNOWN AS CAROLINA CRACKPIPE!!!! If south Carolina beats Georgia this season with Shane Beamer. I promise to find a picture of Beamer and KISS HIS A$$ ON YOUTUBE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!!! Now what are you gonna do when UGA STOMPS A MUD PUDDLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA’S A$$ AND WALKS IT DRY?????
ABOUT ME……
IN 10 LONG YEARS OF PREDICTIONS. PREDICTING EVERY POWER 5 TEAMS ENTIRE SCHEDULE AND ALL THE OUTCOMES. IVE BEEN NEARLY 100% CORRECT!!!! I have missed exactly 3 games. Exactly 3 games in 10 long years!!!! I AM THE VERY BEST IN THE BUSINESS. NOW ANYONE WITH A BRAIN CAN PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER. TO FIND OUT HOW COME A POOR MAN HAS SUCH POWERFUL FRIENDS!!!!! BUT BE WARNED. THAT IS ONLY ONE WAY!!!!!!!
I don’t bet but I probably should.
Please never confuse TRASH TALK with TRUE PREDICTIONS!!!!! As a fan I do a lot of TRASH TALKING!!!! Sometimes my trash talk is way different than actual predictions!!!!
BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT…
I’ve decided to let you all know my preseason choice for SEC CHAMPION. Not just east or west. But THE SEC CHAMPIONS!!! Now this is provided injuries don’t go wild again. Nobody can predict that. Even though somehow I DID!!!! I felt it coming. I PREDICTED UGA WOULD LOSE TO ALABAMA AND FLORIDA BECAUSE OF INJURIES AND OPT OUTS. I SADLY WAS CORRECT AGAIN!!!!! I also predicted Florida’s exact record and who they would lose to!!! I EVEN PREDICTED THEY LOSE A BOWL GAME TO OU!!!! I PREDICTED IT BEFORE THE SEASON. I ALSO PREDICTED THAT OU MISSES THE PLAYOFFS WITH 2 LOSSES. That is pretty tough to predict before the start of the season. I admit I usually do all my predictions in the SPRING. But since there wasn’t one. I had to predict a few weeks before the season. But those who BET ON MY PREDICTIONS GET RICHER EVERY YEAR!!!!! THEY WILL FIGHT YOU OVER ME!!!!!! So you see. Even though I’m personally poor. I have wealthy POWERFUL FRIENDS who take care of me when and if I need it. I HAVE YET TO CALL ON THEM FOR ANYTHING REALLY BAD. BUT ILL ADMIT I’VE BEEN TEMPTED!!!!! This season just better be fair to the dawgs that is all I will say. Because I’m at my limit on taking crap!!!!!!
Wanna make money? Bet on UGA TO WIN THE SEC!!!! Then look for further predictions after that!!!!! My friends have enough money to BUY THE STADIUM AND RAISE PRICES!!!! LOL. But that ain’t their game. But they could buy the stadium 4 or 5 times without putting a dent in their bankroll. To them they would call owning the stadium QUOTE ” SMALL POTATOES” . It’s a group I’m referring to but one of them was once heavily invested in the old USFL!!!!! Don’t ask me any details because that is all I’m giving!!!!!!
PS. If you want to make money. Bet GEORGIA TO WIN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! If the REFS get in the way. I bet it will be the last time. But I’m pretty sure they won’t. I wouldn’t want to have to get them FIRED!!!! So REFS play fair!!!!!

One game out of over 100 for the two teams combined. Not much of an impact.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this all had to do with LSU’s coach’s retirement. I remember the same treatment for Texas or FSU’s old coach a few years ago. It’s the retirement treatment.
Maybe, but it didn’t hurt that LSU had an RPI of 28 compared to UGA’s 41. LSU won its last three series and four out of the last five. Conversely, UGA lost their last four season series, to include losses to Auburn and Ole Miss, two teams that LSU beat during the same timeframe. UGA’s claim to fame was that one victory over LSU. LSU won in every other regard.
If everyone was being honest, neither one of the teams belong in the tournament. Two of the last 3 series LSU won were teams at the bottom of the conference and Texas A&M didn’t even make the SEC tournament. There is no doubt coach retiring made a big impact on LSU getting in and there is no doubt this was a well conceived plan on his part. Georgia was never swept and LSU was swept twice. Georgia was 3-3 against Tenn and Vandy and LSU was 0-6. UGA was 1-0 versus LSU. LSU had easy schedule to end the season and UGA had a brutal one.
That’s just nonsense. LSU has the tougher SOS and the better RPI. They also finished much stronger. We at least beat both Auburn and Ole Miss while UGA lost to both. UGA hasn’t won a series since April, and that was against Missouri. Nice case.
The usual BULLS THAT FOLLOWS UGA SPORTS!!! Soon it’s coming to an end. One way or the other!!!! Because GEORGIA will win the SEC in football this season. Regardless of their opponents!!!!!
Georgia is already the best team in the country. And before it’s over we are going to get sooooooooooo much better. Wait and see!!!!
PS. DO I HAVE A HAND IN IT? I’ll never tell. But you can always take my predictions to the bank!!!!! 3 wrong in 10 long years of predictions. That is THE BEST BY A LONG SHOT.

GA got boned. Dawgs had a better rpi (41) than Michigan (88), Maryland (60), NC (47), and Ga Tech (46).
TY and I look forward to watching the turnaround Sam Pittman brings to the football field. Because it’s already happening. I might have had a small hand in Arkansas choosing him. Maybe so maybe not? Good choice though. I mean Arkansas had on paper the toughest schedule in league history. They held their own!!!! And it’s gonna get better.
It was doomed for failure at first. But I did something. I’m not saying what. I just didn’t think Sam would get a fair shake. But now he’s on his own and I believe he will do well.
He will have to deal with Dirty Saban. Until we retire that phoney!!! If he reads this. My advice is all out blitz on 2nd down. Show blitz on 3rd and play coverage!!!! Flip back and forth with that strategy. Then in the second half. When Saban has it figured out. Show blitz and play coverage nearly every down. On 3rd down spice it up with a few cornerback blitzes!!! Then at the end play coverage but bring a few late SAFETY BLITZES!!!! You’ll have Young so screwed up. He will be throwing it straight to you or throwing screen passes to his linemen. Getting penalties.
Good luck and that’s the game plan to use!!! As well as playing very physical with their receivers at the line. To knock them off their routs!!!! OH AND HAVE YOUR LINEMEN GET THEIR HANDS UP IN THE THROWING LANES. BECAUSE YOUNG IS SHORT LIKE STETSON BENNETT. THIS WILL MAKE YOUNG DELIBERATELY THROW HIGHER AND AS A RESULT, IT WILL LIKELY BE INACCURATE PASSES!!!!!
PS. Bryce Young is going to be leaving the pocket a lot in order to find his receivers. If your D linemen can just follow him and get their hands up. He will throw inaccurate passes. Man I wish I could be the DC!!!!! LOL

“Wait till next year.”
Id like to share my disappointment with the Stricklin extension. Why are the Dawgs rewarding mediocrity?
