The 16 sites pretty much followed the RPI at Walter Nolan's website...except he had 16-Florida and 17-Oregon. Florida didn't make it for a regional. Likely because the ratio of wins vs losses in Quad 1, and losing early in the SEC Tournament.

Oregon vs UCLA at 6:30 PT on May 29.

Four states are home to 2 regionals: Oregon, Tennessee, S. Carolina, Mississippi. Not sure I could have guessed any of them at mid-season. Perhaps the Vandy and Tenn combo.

Interesting....not many states had multiple schools hosting, and for the state of Oregon to have both Oregon and Oregon State host? Pretty good baseball in this state! I knew that Jason Reitz improved a ton in the last month, but I did not know that his ERA in B1G play was 3.09 and that made him the third best pitcher in the conference. Two of the top three ERA pitchers in the B1G at Oregon? Cool. Lurch got out of a bases-loaded jam...

I abhor DeBoer too, and as the game approaches I know I actually won't be able to root for Alabama, I'm sure that would cause something to burst.

On3 had their updated Bracket Projections, and put Oregon as a No. 14 National Seed, and with winning would travel to North Carolina, who has the No. 3 National Seed.Also projected in our regional is UC Irvine, (tough!) Cincinnati, and Fresno State. (We played the Bulldogs last year in the Santa Barbara Regional) They have UCLA as a No. 16 National Seed, with Nebraska and St. Mary's in their regional. They have a fourth B1G team in USC going to Auburn as a No. 3 Regional Seed. Find out in the morning!

Consider yourselves, "LIBERATED"!

In basketball and football, if a player re-establishes their position, it's good. In accordance with the rule, Luchar was in contact with base, she did not break the rule by leaving early. Whether her foot was off the base by a quarter of an inch, a half second before she left, on time, shouldn't matter, and when Dot challenged her steal in the first inning of the second game, Luchar had altered her technique, and the challenge failed.

Eugene Selected as One of 16 Regional Host Sites (Official Press Release for Credentialed Media) EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon has been selected as one of the 16 teams to host an NCAA Regional Tournament starting this Friday at PK Park. The Ducks will learn their seeding and what three other teams will make up the Eugene Regional when the bracket is released on the selection show starting Monday morning at 9 a.m. on ESPN2. Oregon will be hosting an NCAA Regional for the fourth time in the last 14 years. The Ducks previously hosted regionals in 2012, 2013 and 2021. Oregon has also hosted a pair of Super Regionals (2012, 2023). With the announcement of Eugene as a host site, 2025 becomes the fifth consecutive year that Oregon has qualified for the NCAA Tournament, with all five coming during the Mark Wasikowski era. Since the return of baseball in 2009, the Ducks have been selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament 10 times, with the current five-year streak marking the most consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in program history.

And yet I'm fine with it. UCLA's Rival USC, College Football Chastised Over Notre Dame Rivalry WWW.SI.COM UCLA is watching a PR nightmare go down with its rival USC, the Trojans' lack of a series extension with longtime rival Notre Dame...

We do not know the seeds until Monday morning at 9:00 AM on ESPN2. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Athens, Georgia – Georgia (42-15) Auburn, Alabama – Auburn (38-18) Austin, Texas – Texas (42-12) Baton Rouge, Louisiana – LSU (43-14) Chapel Hill, North Carolina – North Carolina (42-12) Clemson, South Carolina – Clemson (44-16) Conway, South Carolina – Coastal Carolina (48-11) Corvallis, Oregon – Oregon State (41-12-1) Eugene, Oregon – Oregon (42-14) Fayetteville, Arkansas – Arkansas (43-13) Hattiesburg, Mississippi – Southern Mississippi (44-14)  Knoxville, Tennessee – Tennessee (43-16) Los Angeles, California – UCLA (42-16) Nashville, Tennessee – Vanderbilt (42-16) Oxford, Mississippi – Ole Miss (40-19) Tallahassee, Florida – Florida State (38-14) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So...UCLA kept their Regional after all! UC Irvine lost theirs... Time for a Regional, Baby!

I don’t see it as a flaw. The rule is the rule. Now there is clarity on how it MAY be enforced. Even though Kai has been doing this all season, I’m sure she’ll alter her technique in OKC.

Yep. Oregon took 2 of 3 in the series at The Jane, so now just do it again in OKC.

Nebraska won 5-0 as their pitcher had an incredible day. This means a fourth B1G team will make the tournament, but what the impact will be on Oregon, on UCLA, is unknown. Yeah, the Cornhuskers were hot, but Oregon was hotter, IMHO. All started from an outfielder's dropped ball...

Baseball sure is a funny game. That's why it's played on the field, not on paper. Here are the baseball scores involving Nebraska, Oregon, OSU and UCLA. Regular season scores: UCLA beat Nebraska 5-2, 11-3 and 5-3 but lost the one that counts 5-0. Oregon beat UCLA 2-1 and 10-6 and lost 14-4. Nebraska beat Beavis 7-3 and 16-7 and lost 16-5. OSU beat UCLA 7-1. Nebraska beat Oregon 7-3. Go figure.

And now, Paul Harvey has the rest of the story - Oregon demolishes Liberty to reach first WCWS since 2018 SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Oregon has filled a slot in the Women's College World Series, completing a clean sweep of Liberty in 2 games at the Super Regionals.

So, it's Ducks vs. UCLA Bruins, right?

Yep. 5:30 today. Forgot about that from last year's announcement. Monday is the who goes where announcement for the other 48 teams hitting the road.

I deplore DeBoer. What is he good for? The man couldn't take down Michigan? And being neutered in Norman is no fine. Your Navy Middies beat Oklahoma! Man oh manning, Sark is getting WAY too much . The most Smart Kirby will again Dawg the rest of the SEC, see? Si?

$20.5 million is the direct payment cap in year one of the House settlement. Yes, same for the Ducks as for the Beavers. However, the Ducks have greater resources, including being a member of the B1G and not the Pac-7 plus Gonzo. There is no cap on NIL deals that are truly NIL deals. All NIL deals $600 and over have to be reported and will be reviewed to determine if the deals are 'outside market value' and being used as a recruiting tool. The Tennessee legislature has passed a law that neuters the enforcement of the House settlement terms in Tennessee. As Rob Mullens noted in his recent interview, 34 to 35 states have varying NIL legislation on the books. Without federal intervention, chaos will continue in college sports.

Well, it helps the national perception, no doubt, and I agree with you on that. It also gets another B1G team in the tournament if Nebraska wins, but will it cost USC their slot? I forgot about this, but while the entire Baseball bracket is revealed Monday morning, the sixteen regional sites will be announced late this afternoon. I will post it when it is available, as we will then see our fate without waiting for tomorrow.

They won it by that score as they had a pitcher have a career day. ---------------------------------------- Nebraska is leading UCLA 5-0 in the 6th inning in the Big Ten Championship. Huskers 31-27 leading 42-15 UCLA. The earlier win over the Ducks 42-14 shows Nebraska can get their s** together when it counts apparently.

Ohio State above Alabama is a crime.

Well, that's not bad, 24, Good for you, Washington, 24th!
