1. It's about TIME!
Go Blue! Rally at Alumni Field, 7:00 p.m. tonight.

The West Coast jinx is broken.

And I was right, UCLA was the team that cheated by having someone who didn't really attend school there play on their team one year (they had to forfeit that championship, leaving them with only 10 of the 23 titles available to date.)

They are basically the Yankees of the sport, so even though their coach and players seem nice, they need to spread the wealth around.

2. Huh?
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 12:02 PM by HuckleB
The Super-Regonials are this weekend. Then it's on to the Series.

On edit: All I know is that the Pac-10's OSU ran the Big-10's OSU out of town last weekend.

That said, the Pac-10 doesn't look as strong as usual this year.

5. I see.
That would explain it, I suppose.

6. Don't you get ESPN?
The finals were on prime time the last three nights.

7. No.
I don't find cable to be worth the money.

8. Oh well. I just presumed, since you were following the MEN's
you got your information from somewhere, silly me! I thought it was from TV. However, you missed a great game (game 3) - very entertaining and for me, anyway, a satisfying ending.

9. I grew up following the men's...
though I admit to following it only peripherally the past decade or so. Oregon State has a top-flight team for the first time since 1952, so it's big news here in Oregon.

10. Well I wasn't trying to start anything....
I just thought you were dissing the women, which it does not seem that you were. Anyway, it was a good game.

11. No, not dissing the women.
College softball is an awesome game, IMHO. I just can't follow everything, and probably should admit that my initial response was misinformed and far too assumptive. (Meaning slightly prejudiced. Something I will note for the future and explore within myself.)

Still, I'm married to a woman who played college softball, and she's clearly not following it either.

Salud.
