Softball

I'm showing UMBC/OU at 8:30 Friday, Tulsa/Ark at about 6:00, Friday. ESPNU ESPN2
 
In Stillwater, during the seventh inning of the Tulsa-Arkansas game, they're playing "La Grange" by ZZ Top, and I can't help but wonder if whoever chose it has ever read the lyrics or knows what the song is about.

Stay classy, oswho.

Wow. Being on channel 28 instead of channel 29 is disrespect? It seems to me that someone here is easily "triggered" and looking for something to be upset about. That is how your reaction comes across to me. Relax mate. Its all good.

Nothing unusual. Hundreds of fans see OU only as disrespected school by the media. Forgetting that Oklahoma with less than 3 million citizens is not a major TV draw in the major population areas where interest is focus more on the major local teams. Also the OU opponent UMBC for Friday's regional game was ranked #205 in the last RPI ranking hence #1 vs #205 does not make for a projected exciting game for the casual fans which comprises the preponderance of the viewing audience. JMHO.
 
I do think ESPN tends to favor the SEC with whom they have a contract. Money speaks. In Dallas, I'm getting the OKC regional, curious as to why it is so late. But, I am also getting a lot of games from the ACC, South Florida, all over. Wonder what the attraction is since there isn't much following for them here. Right now, I've got Ohio State/North Carolina, and you have to wonder why they led off with that. In Dallas, that won't have more than a handful of viewers. I'll watch just trying to get an idea of relative strength in a playoff situation. Been curious about NC all year long with their up and down record.

Agree. Also, when some OU fan takes offense to something that a media figure says about OU, my reaction is WHO CARES. Paul Finebaum. Jay Bilas. Kirk Herbstreit. Skip Bayless. Colin Cowherd. Jim Trabor. Anybody else on radio or TV. Seriously; WHO CARES what these folks say about OU and Oklahoma. Its not like any of these media people have any real stature or credibility. They are salesmen selling commercials. That is what they get paid for. Oftentimes, they make up "opinions" just to generate controversy. I often wonder: Do they even believe what they are saying? They are just actors on their stage, reading their lines into the microphone.

Why get upset about that?

From Eric Bailey: Winning 39 games is good, but Oklahoma's players are always looking ahead

NORMAN — What’s been most impressive about Oklahoma’s 39-game win streak heading into the postseason?

It’s not the way the Sooners have dominated opponents. Only five times since a Feb. 22 loss to UCLA has the opposition stayed within two runs of OU.

During the streak, OU has allowed three runs only five times. That’s great, but still not on top of this list.

It’s arguably the way the Sooners avoid talking about having the longest single-season winning streak in NCAA Division I softball history. OU is just eight wins from owning the all-time record, which was set by Arizona (47 wins) during the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

“We’re just very, very competitive. We don’t look at win streaks — we just want to win every game,” senior infielder Caleigh Clifton said. “We know we have a high expectation for ourselves. All of us hold each other to that. I think that’s how we got to the 39-win streak.

“It’s not looking at streaks. We just don’t want to lose. We’re playing to win every game.”

Wait, I meant I was joking. I don't care about ESPN or ESPN2. I was just mocking those who do care.
 
Ohio state 1
North Carolina 0
on an error after a hit. Neither team can hit a lick. NC's pitcher looked better. But, they couldn't hit whiffle ball.

OSU had a steal and a line hit to right result in a first inning run against Tulsa.

OSU 1
Tulsa 0

Been watching a bit of South Florida/S Carolina. 2-1 in fourth. Boise State 4 Stanford 0 in 4th. None of this is a surprise.
