UCLA trounced OU in Game #1 of the championship series, and is already out to a 2-0 lead in Game #2.
Looks like the Pac-12 title drought in softball since 2011 might be over, and that UCLA will inch closer
to us in overall titles.
OTOH, amazing that we may have beaten the national champions, among our wins over regional hosts
LSU, Michigan and Northwestern in only Year 2 under Coach Allister.
Further indication of the tremendous progress that has already been made.
Off to Starkville.
Per ESPN we start Saturday Noon our time. I imagine hot and humid
Given that our starters have seen 6 days of rest between starts maybe we see
Mathiessen
Miller
Beck
In that order.
Plan on a full day to get there from the Bay Area. TV for me

Pac 12 will have 8 bowl slots as of 2020 (increase of 1 compared to today).
Adding the Los Angeles Bowl vs. the Mountain West and the Independence Bowl against the ACC (fans will flock to Shreveport). Also the Las Vegas Bowl opponent will be an SEC or Big 10 team. The Pac 12 is expected to drop the Cheez It Bowl.
Summary:
3 games vs ACC
2 games vs. Big 10
1 game vs. Big 12
1 game vs. Mountain West
1 game vs. SEC or Big 10

I'm curious on people's thoughts on this:

Apparently 2.89 is a record high GPA for the Texas Football Team. I mean, that's not a "bad" GPA, but it also doesn't sound remarkably high.

A few words about today's opponent.
Fresno was easily the best team in the Mountain West this year.
They won the regular season by 4.5 games, scored the most runs per game by over a run versus second best team, and allowed fewer runs per game by about a run. They won the MWC tournament in three straight games.
We did play each other in a midweek game that Stanford won 2-0.
We played a lot of common opponents (as tends to be the case in the west).
Fresno: Stanford
1-0 2-1 vs Fullerton
1-0 2-0 vs USF
1-0 1-0 vs Cal Poly
6-2 2-1 vs UNLV
4-2 1-0 vs SJSU
2-2 3-0 vs Oregon
I guess we'll be hitting against Davis Moore, a tall Junior RHP with a 4.12 ERA, 8-1, 1.37 WHIP.
He seems well behind their ace Jensen who went against UCSB, but a solid guy who's pitched a lot of innings.
Fresno is a much better hitting team than Sac St. They have scored 7.17 runs/game, avg 0.301, OPS 0.843, 0.944 HR/game.
For comparison, Stanford's offensive numbers are 6.83 runs/game, avg 0.282, OPS 0.850, 1.491 HRs/game.
Their best hitter seems to be their leadoff guy, Zach Ashford with a 0.393 avg.
They have three guys with an OPS over 1.00: Ashford, Arruda, McCarthy. [Stanford has one, Daschbach.]
Their catcher Bins I believe is supposed to be a pretty high draft prospect. I think he hits second, like Handley.
The draft pick penalty expires Monday at 12:01. At that point Dallas Kuechel can be signed without losing any picks. The Giants are not mentioned as contenders. He would be perfect at China Basin but the Giants have gone cheap. I may just go back to my childhood and root for the Dodgers.
