WCWS softball discussion board
- Thread starter Soonerborn59
- Start date
I am wondering why the NCAA always puts Tulsa in the Norman regional. Tulsa is a good team that could advance in another regional, but instead they always get put up against OU. Last year they came within an out of beating OU, but this year I think it's pretty futile for them (or anybody). Too bad. They could have advanced in another region.
Not that I prefer Tulsa over the Sooners (never!) - I just like to see Oklahoma teams do well.

I wouldn't put it past them to put a loss on OU. Like you said, they scared the bejeezus out of the gals last year, & although OU won, they got all of 3 hits earlier this year in a 1-0 win @ TU (one of the 3 hits was an Alo bomb). Emily Watson gives Patty & co. fits on a pretty consistent basis.
Here is an article after the selection process. I think she highly respects Tulsa but she is certainly not a fan of the selection process for setting up match-ups. To bad she also just didnt say what most of us think “Why does the SEC even play the season out, we know every year that the conference is going host at least 8 regionals”. Im waiting for a non SEC coach to actually say that.

Here is another article. Strange that the committee didnt give Baylor a regional over A$M considering BU RPI was 14 to cash cow Aggies 15. Either use RPI or just admit that they are going to do what they want regardless.

Patti dialed up perfect strategy using Paige L to negate Tulsa. Does she know anything about CFB Defense ?
Have your starter get in a car wreck the night before? I'm pretty sure Riley ain't too keen on trying that one out...
For those wondering, todays game has been regulated to ESPN3 at 4 according to the WatchESPN app. Hope Tulsa pulls it out today against Mizzou as I cant stand those traiterous whoremonging bastards.

No, I won't Missouri to win so OU can blister them with another run rule game.
So for sure this is a 4 seed. They didn't allow a run in 3 games, 2 of which were
run rule. They score 24 runs and shut out all 3 teams. The seeds a bunch of BS.
But it really doesn't matter. They're gonna do the same to Arkansas. Kick butt
and move on to the next one. Here's hoping they get a chance to dismember
Oregon.

The Sooners have a very talented team, and I expect them to get past Arkansas.....maybe in two games. But from what I saw this weekend, we are going to see much better pitching and hitting than Tulsa, Boston U and Missouri had. It won’t surprise me if Patty wins another natty with this team, but the girls will need to play their best to so do. I can’t wait. Boomer!
I have decided that this series with Arkansas may be best to watch alone. My wife is a diehard Hog fan since she was raised here. However she hates all the SEC chants and pretty much thinks those fans that cheer for other teams in the conference are bonifide idiots. As she says, "Why do I care what the rest does as I just care what Arkansas does".
But I don't think watching it with her is a good idea even though she doesn't dislike OU and is actually a fan but not when it comes to playing her Hogs. I think by the end of the weekend I may want to prep the doghouse because she isn't going to be very happy..... At least I hope it goes OU's way.

The SEC has 9 of the final 16 teams but the competition seems to be in the PAC 12. It gets tough after Arkansas.
We've proven what the $ec really is; especially in Women's softball. Time for pork chops first though
The Arkansas series is going to be interesting. This is a team that has never won a regional leave alone played in a super regional. OU will need to jump out early and big on that freshman pitcher they have. Sometimes its the young and hungry teams like the Hogs that can be more dangerous in a short series than teams like Oregon , UCLA etc.
As for the WCWS 2 SEC teams are guaranteed in due to SEC teams playing one another in the supers. You can bet the house though ESPN would absolutely slobber all over themselves if all SEC teams won the Supers they are in.

OU defense is as good as they come this year. No one is better as OU is #1. I believe the upside is better hitting across the lineup this year. Some individuals have lower averages but the addition of Alo is big. I admit that I expect her to hit a HR every time she comes to bat.
What? Four SEC teams lost in the regionals? No way!
You boys need to get a grip. ESPN ain’t even close to CNN, MSNBC or Fox in terms of biased broadcasting.
Keith Olbermann completely agrees with you.
Well to be honest I quit watching those news outlets long ago. I only watch ESPN these days when they are doing OU or O-State games. Could care less about other ESPN programs.

Thanks 59; I thought I heard the seeding changed after the games this weekend but maybe that comes later ?
