They likely lost the #8 seed and the super regional, but better to lay this egg now than next weekend

Hope you are right Charles. But, if Penn State knocks off Nebraska this evening, the last memory of Oregon may not be good in the Committee's eyes. If they can give Oregon State and UCLA two Western regionals, not sure they will feel compelled to give one to the Ducks. Thank goodness they notched a win over Michigan State. Hope the Committee takes the circumstances of the B1G scheduling snafu into account.

Thanks, Charles, for the Selection Show Heads Up. Monday, 9 AM Pacific, ESPN 2 - Onward and upward for the OBD Diamond Ducks!

That is an exaggeration...IMHO. The Ducks most certainly are above a No. 17 National Seed, and thus have a Regional secured, while a Super-Hosting is not out of the question. Meh. Oregon did not play like usual today...and after eleven straight wins--that is Baseball. Oregon lost 7-3, to return to Eugene, and find out their fate Monday morning on the Selection Show.

I concur. I doubt UCLA will be in line for a Super Regional. The Ducks had a shot. The Big Ten blew it...maybe not only for a Super but a regional in Eugene as well. The Big Admin should be ashamed. They should never have put their No. 1 seed in that scheduling position. And, I would feel the same way if the 1 seed had been Michigan, Iowa or whichever. It wasn't Friday night rain, or 7:00 am start for excuses... it was the B1G screwing up.

A fouled-up format, no matter the sport = 'bad bounces' for OBD. Just Win! I get it, but why go to a format dumped by the ACC? Because three tournament teams are from the Pacific time zone? Paranoia strikes deep! Why do I feel this way? Perhaps it's due to Nebraska's softball victory being covered front to back by Saturday Tradition, with crickets for OBD's great comeback against Stanford. Proud of the way OBD has represented in the B1G to date? 'YES!' But I'm certain B1G 'traditionalists' aren't all that happy. This tourney perhaps gets one more B1G team into the NCAA PO. But at what cost to teams already in the field?

7-1 against the good-guys after eight innings.

The G6 team in the field, that will not receive a bye in 2025-26, is guaranteed $8 million, not $4 million. That took care of 6 votes. Notre Dame! Let's all go Independent! ND finishes in the top 16 (16 !!!) and is in the field. The Domers, now eligible to be ranked in the PO top 4, couldn't wait to vote 'Aye!' Other than pride, what's in it the ACC and the B12 approvals remains to be seen, probably in June. The new format has to be signed, sealed, and delivered this December. Both of the Lesser 2 conferences are pushing for a guaranteed 3rd team in the field. I doubt the Power 2 has agreed to this. But I also thought we wouldn't see straight seeding until next season. In a 4-4-2-2-1-3 format, perhaps the Lesser 2 will have some advantage in obtaining the two at-large spots after Notre Dame grabs one of the three at-large bids? Perhaps the Power 2 has agreed sub rosa, that the ACC and the B1G teams will receive a greater share of the proceeds? Meanwhile, Power to the Power 2! The oft-referenced latest SP+ ranking released post-spring, has 12 B1G and 13 SEC teams in the top 40. 62.5% of the 40-best (Quad 1 CBB equivalent?) out of 136 teams. Yet, the Power 2 are only receiving 58% of the PO media revenue before PO participation revenue is added. The Power 2 assured of 8-teams in the field in 2026-27 is receiving populist flak that is not supported by any meaningful metric. 50% of the field is a far cry from the 62.5% ranked in SP+'s top 40. And the media viewer numbers (Eyes on the Prize) overwhelmingly favor the Power 2. Do you want folks to tune into the games or not?

6-1 ‘braska, after seven innings. I cannot believe how the bounces of the ball have gone against us today…

Yes it was but it's insult to injury having a dog involved.

Yes, frustrating, but the calls were correct.

6-1 Nebraska after five innings. Grinsell, like the rest of the Ducks, are not having a good day.

Jeremiah Johnson's epic run, Masoli's heroics, and a hurdle over a beaver by LGB are 3 of my favorite CW memories over the last 60+ years of Duck history!

Frustrating, to say the least.... A FUSKIE fan? On what planet could THAT be construed as interference in favor of the DUCKS???

This is not going well

4-1 Nebraska after four innings, as the breaks continue to flow against Our Beloved Ducks. The Cornhuskers are a team that is only a game over .500 in wins for the season, and needed an error to beat Michigan State. Oregon is not playing their best by a mile, and while we have been down three runs before, (like against Iowa) we gotta turn it around NOW.

3-1 Nebraska after three innings, as Oregon's Grayson Grinsell got 'em 1-2-3 and is looking much sharper. The Ducks have had a ton of bad luck today, and I hope we got it out of the way. Dominic Hellman gets a nice hit, but Walsh nailed a good hit, but it bounced the right way for the Cornhusker pitcher to begin a double-play against us. The breaks got to start going OUR way!

3-1 Nebraska after two innings. Jacob Walsh made a rare error that allowed a runner to score with another Cornhusker hit. Anson Aroz hit into the right field corner for a double to start things for Oregon, and the Maddox Molony hit up the middle to score him for the Ducks. Burke-Lee Mabeus was called for batter interference when he momentum after a swing carried him back into the batters box, so the catcher was unable to throw to second to stop a Molony steal. Mabeus was called out, but I do not know how he could have avoided it.

This has been an frustrating game with errors, fan interference by a husky fan, batter interference all going against Oregon

Grinsell need a few more cups of coffee.

We will have a game summary later, if you are a glutton for punishment. It was not our day; we still could have won if Grayson Grinsell pitched as he has this last month, but EVERYONE had a bad day today, pitching, in the field, (how many errors?) batting, and just some bad-luck bounces. Key question...how do the Ducks respond? ------------------------------------------------ 2-0 Nebraska after one inning. It has been a LONG time since Grayson Grinsell gave up a hit, and a two-run homer to start a game. Oregon bats were quiet...

What helped make this an epic ending was the importance of the game. The Rose Bowl was on the line for both teams. We had to beat Arizona….just to get a chance to crush the hopes of the Rodents bid to go to the Rose Bowl. Which led to another epic ending…..the War for the Roses.

Oregon Ducks Softball's Rylee McCoy Named Freshman of the Year Finalist WWW.SI.COM EUGENE – Oregon Softball true freshman Rylee McCoy continues to impress. On Thursday, the California native was named the third NFCA Freshman of the Year finali Amazing stats for Tyler McCoy!

Two questions. Why would the ACC and Big 12 give up their last year of having their champions get that by? What the heck does Notre Dame have on the SEC and B1G leaders? Is it NBC pulling something here? Peacock power?
