I think former assistant Jimbo Fisher was 1-5 vs Saban. Relative to Lombardi, sometimes it is really hard to beat an established program when it plays less than 30 miles from home.

contact above the waist... Uh, when the catcher drops to his knees, how is that avoidable?

As everyone thinks about the umps, keep in mind the home plate ump called him safe. It was the NCAA review crew somewhere that made the call after a several minutes delay while they checked Aunt Polly's Cookbook for an interpretation.

This will be Penn State's fourth straight home game. While Oregon is playing Beavis the week before, PSU has a bye. 5 of PSU's first 6 games are at home. 2 of their final 6 are at home.

The early season Apple Cup in Seattle in 2024 was Peacock.

Canzano has a core readership that laps up his woe is me Pac2 columns. They are repeaters on every column he writes on the subject. They consistently comment about how terrible Oregon was to abandon the Pac while ignoring the sequence of USC>UCLA>Colorado being the first to head out the door. Rarely do people who affiliate themselves with WSU complain about the defectors (which I call escapees) and almost never solely target UW with their ire. The Beavis readers have PTSD (Pac Terminal Separation Disease) When the $21M CFP shares kick in during 2026, Oregon's Big Ten conference share will be well worth the jump even during a period of partial media share. archive.ph ARCHIVE.PH

3 men's sports, 3 women's - and seems to be the sports with most D1 schools participating. Not meant to diminish other sports such as men's wrestling, but wrestling for example has much fewer schools participating and what would be the women's equivalent to make 4 men's, 4 women's?

"Oregon State had more Power-4 teams scheduled in the early season" It would be interesting to see their record at the end of the season based on opponent's RPI. They did drop to No. 8 which maybe is a clue, but in comparison to teams that got the 9, 10, 11 seeds how would Beavis compare? The "big wins" over Iowa turned out to be not so much. Iowa was leading the B1G entering the final week, and wasn't picked as an at-large.

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.

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.

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.

If Liberty's coach is going to do this crap, then Lombardi needs to return it in kind. Call for a balk review when ever any new Oregon batter comes up, etc. etc.

Early Saturday afternoon RPI estimate from Warren Nolan's web page: No. 18 - Oregon opponents: 6 - Oregon St 11 - UCLA 44 - USC 58 - Nebraska 67 - Rhode Island 72 - Michigan 73 - Columbia 77 - Iowa 78 - fuskies 79 - St. Mary's 85 - Rutgers 106 - Minnesota 108 - Grand Canyon 125 - Maryland 136 - Toledo 141 - Michigan St 179 - U Portland 230 - Ohio St 250 - Utah Tech 269 - Georgetown Ducks dropped from No. 12 to No. 18 in his estimate after Saturday morning loss.

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.

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.

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.

"...advocate for a restructured college season that starts and ends a month later than its current February-to-June regimen. An opening weekend in March and a CWS built around the MLB All-Star break in July ..." Not sure how that would work? Seniors playing that late? Underclassmen who would normally be in semi-pro summer leagues starting early June? It would impact all college teams playing late June and not just a few that currently qualify to go to Omaha the third week of June.

Omaha weather cams. yes, it is raining as we approach 7:00 pm local. Saturday's semi-final is scheduled for 2:00 pm local. Weather Cams WWW.3NEWSNOW.COM
