What a humiliating development for the State of Oklahoma. Patty Gasso and her team of overly exuberant players will be watching the WCWS from their couches in Norman.
Agreed. Oklahoma was the #3 overall seed and Mississippi State was somewhere below #16, as they won the Eugene regional hosted by #14 Oregon. 4250 fans, the most in college softball outside of Oklahoma City, saw MSU win today's deciding game by a score of 6-0.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
