So. OU is a lock. Today, OU could clinch second alone.

 

[sybarite]

Some of the teams ahead of us fell today.

Hofstra 63
#23 James Madison 62 lost at home

#19 Rutgers 50
Michigan State 60

#10 Duke 59
NC State 72

California 63
#18 Stanford 53 lost at home

Their realtimerpi ranks:
Duke 11
James Madison 19
Stanford 22
Rutgers 36

Rutgers lost their shot-blocker, Rachel Holivay, who was carried off the floor and placed in a wheelchair.

I have felt we were a lock for a few games now. I guess we could have blown it but I did not think we would.

With the unconstitutional laws that are in committee in the state legislature and the deadline to come out is this week, I will be working to keep OU from getting the quarter regional and be in downtown OKC with signs at the regional. Our legislators are ignorant, greedy, and full of hate. They are running our state over the cliff. Instead of working on education, student loans, homeless, children going hungry..........they have five bills aimed at glbtq community and then, OF COURSE, the hoodie bill, which is absurd AND leaves a loophole for discretions SO who do you think will be stopped wearing a hoodie? ME...a white woman or some young black man?

Yes, I do think my post is relevant as I hope we are able to prevent OU getting the quarter regional. I hope we are able to do something about the WCWS.

The only reason Gov. Brewer vetoed one bill with some of the same elements
was because the NFL threatened not to hold the super bowl there and other large corporations came out against it (certainly wasn't Brewer) and the two U.S. Senators for Az also asked her not to do so. We have one Senator who has no brains and the other who understands nothing about the separation of HIS religion and the state.

What exactly do you mean about the 'quarter regional'?

 

[womenssports]

I thought someone called the first rounds a "quarter-regional" and we are one of 20 teams that were eligible for the 16 sights. This might not have been what they called it.....but basically the first round of games, which is probably what I should have said.

Oh, ok, I thought that might be it. Why do you not want OU to host the first 2 rounds? I don't think it would necessarily preclude us from playing in OKC regional, as I'm sure the Big 12 would be the host for the regional, would it?

Yes, I don't see those of us who are trying to stop this legislation from changing the site of the regional, so it will still be held in OKC. I also think OU will be in the OKC regional.

I hope to stop OU from being a host as a consequence for the people in the Oklahoma government taking such ignorant and hateful action. I think it is just red meat for their constituents... non-issues which they are making into a big issues. Actually, I believe ALEC may be behind all these red states iniating these laws and even the Chamber of Commerce (not a liberal bastion of thought) wants the state legislatures to quit listening to ALEC (that's the quick, easy answer...of course, the end goal is to get any of this hate legislation that actually gets enacted reversed)

You are an extremely well informed lady about our Oklahoma politicians.

What about "womenssports" makes you assume the poster is female. Whoever she or he is, the frequent misspellings and mangling of the English language in general in those posts suggest a poorly educated and poorly motivated person.

 

[SoonerNorm]

I'm pretty sure that discussions about politics is against the board rules.

 

[sybarite]

True. But, there are consistent remarks or snide political comments on this and other non-political boards all the time. Usually, they are ignored if the moderators agree with the comments.

How in the world would one think that punishing the OU Women's Basketball team by denying them a host site for the first and second rounds, would send the proper message to the ultra-conservative legislators?

Tend to agree with this. I don't know that the legislature is capable of "listening" to anyone, and they wouldn't likely be deterred by something that would hurt women's sports.

Have nothing against womenssports; he/she is normally a good poster. But his/her argument in favor of sending Oklahoma's conservative Legislature a message by denying the Sooners a chance to host the first/second round is just ridiculous.

C'mon, mods. Let's put a quick end to this.

 

[Mac]

since most of the big 12 will beat up on each other year in and year out, I would like to see more teams step it up with there OOC schedules...

 

[sybarite]

Sometimes, when you look at polls, you have to question whether those involved have even been covering basketball. In the most recent AP poll, OU is probably about #34, ranked behind Texas and Oklahoma State. Being second in the conference seems to mean nothing.

Both the NCAA rpi and AP poll have Stanford ranked above Cal, which beat Stanford at home yesterday. It wasn't exactly all that close.

 

[womenssports]

I only thought it was relevant because of it's relation to the possible hosting of the NCAA games at OU and the fact that the regional is to be at OU.

EDIT: meant OKC

Agree that I need to edit before I post and if I don't, I certainly need to afterwards. I do often but probably not nearly enough. I like to believe
that age is not affecting my brain, but just other things are keeping me from concentrating and/or affecting my memory.
