Don’t know whether to assign this to the Ironic or Academic Prowess Dept. - maybe both: During the game, the roving tv camera would occasionally pick out a Rebel holding a sign reading, “BEAT EVERYBODY!” Guess that Ole Miss fan didn’t quite understand that ‘everybody’ includes themselves.

10th inning walk-off walk by Rebel pitcher and Ducks beat Ole Miss 6-5!

Agreed, no team should ever be able to score runs based on a rule technicality.

At this point in the NIL/transfer Age (not knowing as yet how the House settlement will effect that equation), there isn’t much left anyway of college football’s once honored traditions to make me see the loss of one more as tragic.

Probably a good idea here to recall that $$ may not have been the primary consideration during ‘negotiations’ between Mullens and White. There were enough off the record, anonymous insider ‘quotes’ that place the final decision on a clash of personalities between two alpha dogs, neither of which was willing to back down. Costly? Yes. But Mullens had the cash. He just didn’t like the guy.

The trouble with becoming a ‘have’ is that it has a tendency to turn you into one of those programs you always despised - or was it always just envy?

Just curious if Mullens’s “strategic investments” will include ponying-up for a softball head coach who has now earned it - unlike the last time.

Give me Liberty or give me the rule book?

Kai likely not the only base runner to have utilized this springboard approach, and gotten away with it. Like pitchers getting caught pushing off with their pivot foot, base runners who have done this will now have to modify their take-off; otherwise, we’re in for a lot more riveting moments of watching umps staring into a little screen.

Agreed, get this game out of their system so they can start from scratch in the regionals. Like your tourney header said FD, “ . . . A Bad Matchup?”

Yes, wasn’t thinking Big Picture. And yes, too much fun scratching my head over OBD’s baseball future.

With Dzierwa going 6 innings, and Broderick 3.1 in Michigan State’s loss to Nebraska, does Wasikowski now strategize the pitching order with an eye towards the championship game by going by committee tomorrow, and then reversing his starting order in order to save Grinsell for a possible show down with UCLA?

Starting to regret they ever invited us to the party? You can just never be too careful, can you?

Huge for the freshman to get the job done under match play-off pressure. Well done An!

Regarding the Stanford logo, you can keep the ‘S’, but make the other part a stump.
