Oklahoma and some $$! Or maybe just back to hometown Stanford (if academically strong enough).

More clickbait. More rumors.

On a similar note, I was at my daughter's softball tournament in Vegas in July a few years ago. It was hotter than hell. There was a college coach walking around recruiting wearing one of these fan cooled hats. I then just had to buy one. The technology works!

Sometimes the comments are more fun than the Tweet.

Northwestern vs. Alabama. 6th inning. Alabama players leaning over the plate trying to get hit. Reminds of 2017 vs Sara G. Gawd I hate Alabama.

Yes. Via sac bunt. Very common. Getting that properly placed grounder with a swing would be extremely difficult, though, if the pitcher stuck to the opposite side of the plate. They handcuff lefty slap hitters like that all the time.

The BGSU loss had no impact on the Big Ten West race.

Clearwater has quickly turned into maybe the top non-con tournament and has strong ESPN support (I believe), but Nutter still seems to create the most hoopla IMO. I don't care if it looks like they're playing on converted slowpitch fields at times. All those players played on fields like that...

Wow. I just noticed Washington scored 7 runs in the 7th inning to take the 1-run lead. That's an incredible meltdown. The McNeese players must be devastated.

Agreed. Especially in post season against all good teams, it's helpful to have a handful of speedsters that constantly put pressure on the defense, get on base even via error, take extra bases on pitches in the dirt, stay out of double plays, etc. Nothing worse than getting a couple runners on...

Massey says the Gophs have a 31% chance of beating Washington. History would say they have no shot. Time for them to change history.

We all know the Gophs traditionally struggle in Seattle, but this isn't the old Washington with stellar pitching. The Gophs have slightly better pitching stats and Washington slightly better batting stats for the season (with the Gophs trending better). I'd give the Gophs much more than "near...

Fastpitch is a lot faster moving in terms of time between pitches and play on the diamond, too. After watching fastpitch for about 14 years now, I get frustrated watching snail-paced baseball games. There's only so many times the pitcher can grab his nuts or the batter unstrap and re-strap...

Every team that makes the WCWS will have at least one pitching star with at least one good backup. Not every team will be an offensive juggernaut. Wait and see. None of that matters because Oklahoma is that much better than everyone this year. In conference play, Indiana had the 2nd best...

College football was just as money hungry in the early days as it is now. Recruiting was truly the wild west. Dave Revsine's very good book "The Opening Kickoff" covered it.

Oof. You don't see a two-base throwing error walk off in college softball very often.

The NCAA selection committee doesn't always follow the polls (see the Gophs 2019) so I wouldn't be surprised to see Northwestern host with a decent seed.

Heavyweight U. Is it 4 different HW national champs since 2000?

You can re-enter once. It's always a gamble to pull, say, a very good hitter that's slow (or catcher you don't want getting hurt) for a fast base runner early in the game.

I would love to see Stanford as a match. Not just because of the backstory, but also cuz they appear to be beatable as a potential 8-12 seed regional host.
