2022 NCAA Softball Tournament

If LSU can't win this game, they've effectively picked a great great time to go on a 4 game losing streak. They just started to look headed South starting from the 4th Inning of the last regular season game vs Mississippi State and Ali Kilponen have been batted around a lot.

They'll be eliminated without even playing Arizona St. and I wouldn't have seen that coming, tho their regional was pretty tough.


*edit in.... thats it. they're done. Sad Tiger.

Why did they put the Bulls and the Bulldogs on ESPN2? They originally had us on ESPN+ and made me pay for that. I just bought a new electric vehicle, and would really like to save my money.

Looks like Georgina Corrick is done. She's hurt. We caught a huge break. Gotta win this.

The broadcast schedule was a mess, due to weather delays and a couple "long" games. It always is.

It is worse next week, when they typically broadcast everything - but the weather delays and long games end up putting stuff (often partial games) on channels you are not taping, like ESPN News.
 
How many runs have San Diego St scored today? I live in SD, and I never followed the Aztecs to know how they swing it on the West Coast.

I feel like this game is gonna be one of those 12-11 scoreboard churning games.

Miss State shut out a Corrick less USF 6-0 at 12:05 am....face FSU at 2:00.

Corrick out was the difference in USF shutting out the Bulldogs 4-0 the day before and losing today.
 
I saw that due to weather delays.. They didnt start the UGA-Liberty elimination game until 1115 last night. I'm not complaining as UGA has to face Duke at 2pm today, and they woukd have to beat the mighty blue Devils twice to advance
 
Mostly close games going on currently, but...Oklahoma is pounding A&M 17-0...in the 4th inning!

Clemson was the first team to punch their ticket to the Supers, then Florida.

YEAH HAILSTATE.

Even if this win is short-lived, we'll be REALLY good (possibly Oklahoma City bound) next year if we could do this to the Mighty Seminoles.

However, worthy of note that Sandercock looks like she's done. So it's basically Danielle Watson or bust for them, and we are far from having used up all our pitchers. If we truly can beat Florida St. again and if Arizona can beat Missouri, they come to Starkville next weekend. That'll be cool. Of course, wishful thinking but that's the situation.
 
Oregon St. on the verge of forcing another game against Tennessee.

Bama beat Stanford once already but the Tree up late in the deciding game.

Oklahoma continuing their onslaught--20-0. OUCH.
 
Virginia Tech forced another game against Kentucky.

Arkansas up comfortably against Oregon, Ducks would need to beat them twice today. Not looking likely.
 
Looking bleak for Alabama. Good on Stanford if they can truly do this. Alabama has looked extremely pedestrian at times this year.

Everybody said their regional was a joke. Looks like they're wrong. I'm bascially only a Dallas Goodnight fan and that's it. Fouts better come back next year with a vengeance otherwise poor girl missed her chance last year and her career is over.
 
Devyn Flaherty called for running early twice, otherwise the game is 4-4 right now. Do that one more time, Devyn... if you get another chance to bat.
 
I guess never bet against Arizona in the post season. Two unseeded Pac 12 teams have knocked out SEC teams on their home field. I can't deny I'm loving that! Let's make it 3 w/ Oregon St. That would definitely offset Washington not getting it done.
 
.-.
Dang, I turned it on just in time to see a Tennessee homer. I got confused though, I saw the mark for 2 outs and thought it was 2 runners on base. A 1 run shot is a lot easier to take than a 3 run dinger.
 
Mississippi St. saves some face for the SEC, and Georgia might as well. Still, a ton of teams eliminated. Pac 12 is gonna have 1 team eliminated at worst in the Regionals.
 
HAIL

STATE

I knew I wasn't wrong for believing in this team. I was one of the few in Starkville who followed them the whole year.


Wow. Parity alert. Who wouldda guessed Arizona vs Mississippi State in Supers and it could be in Starkville???!?? No more 10 or 11 teams anymore. Pretty soon North Texas would be upsetting Oklahoma.
 
.-.
Oops, I forgot about Oregon. Pac 12 could lose 2 teams today, but Washington just beat Texas to extend it to another game.
 
Looks like Duke is getting some revenge for Georgia stealing their Regional from them last year. I still don't understand why UGa got to host.
 
See Florida State, THAT'S how to take care of some Bulldogs from the SEC




NOBODY Eliminates Duke Softball from the NCAA's twice in a row :mad:
 
Down 5-1 ... I read that Duke scored 8 runs today while facing 2 outs.

WOW Stanford. Can’t help but feel sorry for Fouts. Really got ran into the ground with all the games she had to throw. I’m hoping she comes back next year and finally gets her moment.

Stinkin' Huskies. I couldn't bear to watch. I guess there was an illegal pitch called after what would've been the third out of the inning, extended the inning and Texas got some runs. Sounds like it was a late call. Or reviewed after the fact or something. Like the official box score was already showing the inning over. Too bad.

I missed that play, though we saw most of the game, but I was busy. But in a different game, they were talking about an "international" pitcher that doesn't drag her foot and she had a couple calls against her although the commentator said and showed that she does the same thing every time. The Washington pitcher also doesn't drag her foot much, but it also wasn't called.

Proud of the PAC. Don't much like Mike White (I usually rooted for Texas before he became coach) but he is obviously a heck of a coach.

Real happy with the FSU upset - not because I particularly wanted Arizona to play Mississippi State but anything was better than FSU - if I am thinking correctly, we don't have a very good history against FSU.

When Plain has come back from participating in international competition, it takes her a while to get dialed in. IIRC she got called for a bunch of illegal pitches at the beginning of last season. But that was more than a year ago. Can't say that I'm aware it's been an issue for her this season.

Apparently it hasn't. But she does do it. I wouldn't have noticed if not for the announcer at the other game showing close-ups of the pitcher's feet. My wife saw it as well. But it isn't called, typically. You said something about an illegal pitch, so I just assumed it was one of those random times that for no particular reason, they call one even though they could every one.
 
Ok so Im reading individual message boards and twitters:


Arizona softball fans seem to be saying.... suck it SEC. SEC HA.HA. Only 3 out of 12. and Texas A&M got blasted... shouldn't have even been there.

-(ok so.... why does the Pac 12 care so much about the SEC?)

Florida softball are happy most of their despised are gone.... Georgia/FSU/Tennessee.

Tennessee softball is saying........FIRE KAREN WEEKLY, with some fans defending her.

Florida St is disappointed, feel unfulfilled, but still their love for Noledom overcomes their sadness today.

Virginia Tech are really excited, they seem invested in softball more than the others still playing. They want to beat Florida next weekend badly, and feel good about their chances. Probably because they feel this is their only sport with a shot at a national title.

As for Mississippi State, our forums are saying next weekend will be a sellout in Starkville. First time ever. (most I bet never saw a softball game in their life, and became fans just today during those 2 wins against FSU)

I can't find any real nuggets on Alabama.... but some are saying Fire Murphy, and that he made Fouts throw 403 pitches this weekend, and questions his sanity. (Yikes...... that is CRAZY)

Because ESPN pushes the SEC so hard? Oklahoma obviously has been crushing it lately, but if you look at the entire history the Pac has absolutely owned softball. ESPN decided out of pretty much nowhere based on nothing that the SEC is THE power in softball. So us West Coast fans have been enjoying watching the SEC's disastrous performance the last 2 years.

Probably also, pretty much everybody outside of SEC country has a very healthy dislike for the SEC in general, and in particular football, that spills over into most sports. Especially if ESPN pushes it hard (I know, they have a contract w/ the SEC, so of course they are going to hype the conference, but it doesn't make it any less annoying).
