Yeah, I've seen too many "easy" regionals end up with surprises to count any as a sure thing.

This is an Ole Miss team that reminds me quite a bit of the old Earl Weaver nickname for Don Stanhouse: "Full Pack" ... cause that's what Weaver would smoke in the 9th inning once Stanhouse came in. They have a knack for making things too interesting too often. That's built a certain amount of resilience into the team too, I mean they have managed to extricate themselves from some of those self-inflicted situations, so maybe that's the bright side of it.
