Here only nine months, and the Ducks captured EIGHT B1G Championships? Oregon has eight championships, USC and UCLA have three each, and Washington has one, for a total of 15 championships for the four West Coast teams. The rest of the Old B1G have 18 championships among the remaining 14 teams, with Ohio State leading them with four.

So...(above) we are new, and you give us less revenue, so we will fight for more! Fourteen teams that KNEW last August that they will keep Oregon in its place...

Football, then Basketball, and now Softball?

About our opponent in the Super-Regional...

After the game...

Oregon working on a rally...

When Oregon was down 4-0....

We gotta call it for what it was...and have some fun with it...

Can anyone explain how the NCBWA rankings in the top post had the Ducks dropping seven spots?

Isn't the ranking difference from the tournament seeding projections in the first post above....fascinating? Why such a difference? A nice scene from Iowa City...

You can see how the West Coast teams dominated the B1G in all sports offered right here, as USC won Womens T&F, Oregon won Mens T&F, Washington won Rowing, and Oregon/UCLA won Baseball.

You may recall Oregon played a series with them and the Ducks won all four games, 7-0, 8-3, 20-11, and 35-1 back in early March.

I will add to these throughout the day as they become available.

A wonderful game summary below... SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Oregon's back was against the wall Sunday, but the Ducks beat Stanford twice to win regionals and earn the right to host another round.

When the finals become reported...it will become apparent that the West Coast Teams have taken over the old Big-10!

Pretty incredible...to beat Stanford twice and get to host a Super-Regional? Wowsa...

GREAT research, and thank you! I am expecting to see most of the pitchers you mentioned as brief appearances, and yes...I think something is up with Sanford. But I could also see other freshman pitchers, such as Michael Meckna, and Gabe Howard make brief appearances for an inning at a time? Oregon does not have enough proven, quality pitchers for four games in four days...but UCLA has a HUGE break...where they play on Tuesday and Wednesday...thus their Tuesday pitchers (Starting and Relief) could be called on for--the Sunday Championship! We just got hosed...

I was thinking the same thing--a HUGE crowd. But I hope we do not face Beavis until the College World Series in Omaha!

BTW...the B1G Baseball Tournament is played at the same stadium of the College World Series, Charles Schwab Field in Omaha!

I will begin to gather information about the B1G Baseball Tournament this week. They created "Pool" play, where you win your pool and advance further. The Ducks have Michigan State, who they play on Thursday at 4:00 PM, and Nebraska on Friday at 4:00 PM. The bad news? Michigan State has the only pitcher that I fear...but will they play him against Oregon? I doubt it, as the Spartans play the Cornhuskers on Tuesday first. And...the rules state that if there is a tie, that the higher seed moves forward in the tournament. Thus some media entities report that OBD only has to win one of the two games to advance. I will be adding a ton more to this thread, and everyone is welcome to contribute information and their thoughts as well. We see a breakdown by 247 Duck Territory right here about it...and there is more from the B1G site right here... and this page shows who is in the Pools. If the Ducks win Pool A, then we face the winner of Pool D, which consists of Washington, USC and Penn State. Lovely. The Pools... If all followed chalk...Our Beloved Ducks would meet UCLA in the final on Sunday, May 25th. This means we need four pitchers, without enough rest for Grayson Grinsell to pitch more than once. At the present...we don't really have a starting fourth pitcher, unless you run Ian Umlandt, (Would not be available for relief) or do it by committee as we did by starting Julian Hernandez for three innings against St. Mary's a few weeks ago. For tournaments...nobody has deep pitching, and to give the other pitchers experience in advance of this...you risk losing games you needed to win to get to a No. 7 Seed in the nation...my "cope" with this is that everyone will be short of good, experienced pitchers, and I'd like to think our batting lineup can get to their pitchers better than they can to us?

I have never heard of these guys, but they have Oregon hosting a Super-Regional as a No. 8 Seed, with the Winner of the No. 9 Seed Regional in Corvallis coming to visit if both win their Regionals. Can you imagine THAT drama? Oregon would have to beat Beavis to go to Omaha?

Two things really stand out...1) how bad baseball attendance is in the B1G, and 2) how incredible Nebraska's following is. PK Park could improve a TON and not catch them. Thanks to sports fan for the time spent on research to learn this!

Our OBD member, sports fan, posted this below in a separate thread and I thought I'd combine them into the same topic thread. This prediction is by Baseball America, while mine above is from On3...and they both have us as a Super-Regional host! (For now...) 2025 College World Series Predictions: Picking Our ‘Eight For Omaha’ (May 16) WWW.BASEBALLAMERICA.COM Baseball America's latest "Eight For Omaha" prediction includes a trio of new teams trending toward 2025 College World Series berths. I find it interesting that...1) Oregon has an RPI with them of No. 18? And 2) three of the teams including the Ducks have RPIs worse than No. 8 among the predicted top-8 seeds and Super-Regional hosts... We gotta win the B1G Tournament...it might be possible to be a finalist in the B1G Tournament, not win, but retain the Super-Regional hosting? Thoughts? I think it is very iffy...
