What do you think our team's mindset is today?
I'm hoping they figure that if we are so close to winning this thing, then we might as well just win it.
What sense does it make to let it slip through our fingers just to finish top 5?

Oops. Jackson's already two over for the day. Plenty of time to recover.

Ole miss in danger of missing out after a horrendous start. Stanford is a worse team than them but they’re at a familiar course. I think ole miss was the 2 seed in the region?

If I were Ole Miss I'd be a bit concerned right about now. Not too late, though. Just hoping Illini hang in there. (I think they will).

ucla needs a big front 9 before they head to the tougher overall back 9. Stanford and ole miss will gain on them in the front 9.

And ranked #7, according to final coaches' poll. Florida State, #6. Illinois #18.

So much for the rankings. It's golf.

The only question with Illinois is first or 2nd. I think because an and m isn’t looking great. Jackson still struggling poor kid hope he bounces back for the ncaa championship. Getting a good Voois round finally!

Don't know why, but I'm pulling for Ole Miss, and they're in decent shape right now. (Always liked their football uniforms, I guess is the reason.)

Yes. If you're in position to win the regional, win the danged thing. Illinois doesn't need to send a message to the college golf world; everybody knows Illinois is a college golf power. I don't want to mention any names, but the initials of the person most responsible are Mike Small.

I really doubt Coach addressed the team this morning, saying "Hi, fellas. Good morning, rise and shine! Did you sleep well? Have a great breakfast and have a nice day out there. Have fun!"

Heck, no.

Does regional finish have any seeding impact at nationals?

I just want to see that Regional Championship banner hanging from the, uh...where ever the golf team hangs its banners. Coach Small's garage?

Great question I should have the answer to after so many years. Seedings may have to do with tee times during stroke play. Don't know for sure. Just like regional.

I’m guessing this is it. So if Illinois likes the first early morning seeding then winning would be good for them.

Funny. Thanks. I think there's a shrine at a place called Demirjian for Illini trophies and maybe banners. Got to do a pilgrimage there soon and play Atkins.

Did we have to win a tie-break to get in one year? I seem to remember worrying, once. But it was years ago.

That such a thing is not snark is thanks to Mike Small.
