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.

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?

The tv announcer made a good point that she might have been getting away with this all season. That seems extremely likely. Her "move" is probably to get that push off after lifting her foot. Season leader in steals. The cat's out if the bag. Whoops. I was a fierce competitor in all sports back in the long ago times, and I would pull any and every trick to get away with fouls or cheats. One time I got decked behind the net in a hockey game after I dumped the puck in the corner, and I literally took the puck I saw laying in front of me and plopped it over the net into the goalie's back...and the puck went into the net for a goal. I recall a stunned defender looking at me and saying, incredulously, "you're not allowed to do that!" I got up on my skates and just said "I know, that's why I did it."

I read the rule and came to the same conclusion as the replay official. Kai begins her momentum to leave the bag when she lifts her foot, leaning into her steal. The rule says she has to maintain contact with the bag until the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand. Her jump start violates the plain meaning of the language. the second time she was on the way, off the bag when the pitcher released the ball. They will have it fixed by tomorrow.

"Pitcher, pitcher, pitcher, not an underwear snitcher!"

The rule I found was that a runner MUST REMAIN ON THE BAG whenever the pitcher is near the mound and then can run after the pitch leaves the pitcher's hand. Stupid rule. The runner ought to be able to do jumping jacks on the base but be on the bag when the pitcher releases the ball.

Oregon goes for the Sweep.

Apparently ridiculous loophole that Liberty exploited. It is not spelled out in the rules that a runner can re-establish contact with the base.

Even though I'm closer to 50 than 40, I still refuse to not sleep in on the weekends. Thankfully I have no children. You couldn't even pay me to watch a game on TV at 10am unless the US is playing in the World Cup somewhere overseas, so 7am? Ha! I'm sorry, but the UO and Nebraska should have protested this. The final should have been moved to Monday- not many people will be working anyway. Of course, I am more than sure there were set contingencies in case of rainouts, and we simply got unlucky. That said, how many sports would you see a double header in a semi final, especially of one team had to wake up to play at 9am local time? That's insane. What a joke.

I totally disagree with the 2 stolen base call outs in this game. Her foot clearly is back on the bag before the pitch. Need rules committee to reevaluate in off season. Very bad calls.

5:57 am sunrise local 9:00 am game time local (7:00 am Pacific Time) Well, at least there is time to milk the cows and feed the hogs and still make it to the baseball game. I know, you can't predict rain. But, scheduling so your No. 1 seed isn't playing until Thursday/Friday is B.S. to begin with. They need to ditch the pods/pools and get it back to 1 vs 12, 2 vs 11, etc. with game times during the week that benefit your seeds 1-4.

As expected, the B1G and the SEC had to spread some sugar to the G6 and Notre Dame, for straight seeding to happen before 2026. College Football Playoff moving to straight seeding for 2025-26 postseason, but what does future hold? SPORTS.YAHOO.COM The future format of the College Football Playoff is still uncertain, but the sport's brass has made a major change to this year's postseason. Also, the idea of a presidential College Athletics is over. Texas Tech's ultra booster and potential committee member, Cody Campbell, first idea would have had the B1G and the SEC marketing their sports inventory with the ACC and the B12. No way the Power 2 was going to go with a collective approach. If this happens some day, it will only be the B1G and the SEC combining their inventory.
