Very winnable regional. Should get to supers no problem

Wait and see how the 11 seed is

SEC seeding was a mess. Texas was higher than both Florida and Arky in final standings, and took series from Florida, but seeded behind both 

Vols seeded right behind us despite H2H series win 

Oof and they get Ohio State. Might be a little tough for the Vols

LSU is 10. Committee trying to guarantee at least one SEC team in OKC - Vols vs Tigers if seeds hold

But Tigers have to deal with Jordy Bahl

Clemson is the 11 seed to come to Austin 

Kentucky going to Clemson as the 2

Holy god we got lucky they didn’t seed us at 5 or Tech at 11. They gave us some help with the 6 seed and Clemson at 11 instead

Without a doubt. Some school got screwed over.

Bama 15

Oregon is 16

Bama took 2/3 from OU

Oregon had a soft non-conference but won the B1G. Sorry aggy

Stanford has to go to Oregon because they were unable to host due to construction. They aren’t playing at their home field, but the football field

As long as we can change that to a more dominant first of the year perception.

I’m happy with our draw up to opening day of the WCWS if we make it. Do not like being on OU’s side of the WCWS bracket (2, 3, 6, 7) but we are away from aggy

I have been extremely happy with the last two years post seasons….we have surprised many….hopefully, we will play better the next few weeks….we shall see.

A week off

No SEC teams until OKC (most likely)

Everyone is 0-0 starting next week

Recent destruction at the hands of our big sisters in Norman and those portly lasses of B/CS likely left a bad impression on the committee. I'd have put TN over us, too. Glad we're not facing that Buckeye power game again.

If we can right the ship and be the real Texas again, I'll feel a lot better about this season as a whole than I currently do. Let's rest up and rock it.

I think we got a good draw overall. Should make OKC with this draw. Then we get Florida, who we should beat. Then if we lose to OU, we at least get a bracket switch at that point, and have a shot to backdoor our way in to the title game. Consider me gruntled.

Mizzou is the only SEC softball team that didn't get selected. They had a better record against OU than we did......

Agreed on all counts.... Oklahoma has some big girls but they aren't fat like ours.  They are just country strong, bat swinging bomb hitters.

Ona side note we keep talking abut ViVi being the savior but for all we know she could have regressed as well this year.   It seems to be a pattern for most everybody.  Hopefully they get their shit together this post season and even more importantly in the offseason.  

aggy has a couple of fat hitters but they routinely hammer it out of the park and waddle around the bases.  A fat pitcher with one pitch who gets pounded is demoralizing and we have to watch her on every play.  Being down 0-6 with no outs in the first was game over.  Everybody quit and the committee punished us with the bracket they gave us.  We'll be lucky to get out of the regional, which is what the softball PTBs want.

Bro you need to calm down. We got a good bracket to OKC

The #3 team in our bracket, Michigan, won the B1G tournament, beating UCLA in the final.  We completely shit the bed.

Florida-Duke

Oddly enough, this lines up with Lacrosse.

Florida played Mercer in the first round in Lax and that's the 4 seed in softball's regional that the Gators will face first.

Florida Lacrosse plays Duke next weekend in the Elite Eight and cold face them again in a Super Regional in softball.

I would have bet money that we would have gotten Tech in the supers. LSU is double fucked, but at least they have Beth to coach em out of it. I believe the SEC will put at least 6 in OKC. FSU is a wild card, as they are playing inspired softball for coach Alameda.

And? Michigan was barely or not even a tournament team if they didn’t win that tournament. I get you’re mad we lost to aggy, but you’re being a bitch

Bonnie has done a terrible job replacing Hutch at Michigan. You are right, they would have missed the tournament if the didn’t pull a rabbit out of their ass. UCF is the scariest team in our region. They have good pitching and are well coached.

If I’m Mike, I start Cam on Friday, with Cam, Mac and Cit (and maybe Sophia) ready to go 2 innings each. Or fewer if we run-rule the 4 seed

TK in the 1-0 game

Cit or Mac to start the regional final, knowing if you have to, TK can start the if-necessary.

Ideally TK only pitches once this weekend.

I trust Cit more than MM at this point.  If MM can't get the low strike call, the wheels fall off and it's BP.  

Ideally you can give Cam the whole game 1 and win in 5, maybe Mac or SS come in for the fourth/fifth

TK handles the whole 1-0 game and then you have a rested pen to handle the regional final

Bats gotta do their thing too

I hope we have that luxury.  Mac has been making world beaters out of all hitters...   Then I hope we get good Kavan.

This would be nice, but this is the post season and that means your entire staff is available for all games. If we have to ride TK in every game, then so be it. He did this a few years ago with Dolcini.

I *hope* we don’t but I do think we see this, along with OU (Landry), Tech (Canady), Tenn (Pickens), aggy (Kennedy), LSU (Berzon), maybe Florida (Rothrock)

Reviewing,  Michigan finished 8th in the B1G (11-11), 41 RPI, but went 4-0 in the tournament with shutout wins over Oregon (5-0) and UCLA (2-0).   They were swept by both during the regular season.   Oregon won the regular season,  UCLA 3rd.

Playing well at the right time.   If they are like Minnesota,  good fans who travel well.
