UT's (are they called the Lady Longhorns?) softball team won Games 2 and 3 of the Austin Super-Regional to punch its ticket to the WCWS. Texas is the 1-seed and OU the 2-seed. So, if it plays out according to chalk, we will see a meeting of those two teams in the championship series, as we did in 2022.

Here's another great Huey pic. This is of a USMC UH-1E in Oct 1969. The UH-1E was basically an Army UH-1C gunship modified to meet Marine Corps requirements. You can see the various weapons-sights in front of the pilots. I've never flown or flown in a Huey gunship, and I don't know what those sights in front of the left-seater are, but I suspect that they are for the forward-facing, semi-fixed 7.62 MG mounts outside the cargo doors. The right-seater has a gunsight for--I think--rockets, folded up and out of immediate use.

Texas A&M beat #1 Texas tonight in Game One of the Austin Super-Regional of the NCAA Softball Tournament.

Duke beat Mizzou in Columbia. I like Duke softball. My esposita and I stayed in the same hotel with the Duke softball team in L.A. in 2022. The Dukies (Dukettes?) got eliminated by U-Dub as I recall.

Tennessee beat Bama in Knoxville. Florida beat Baylor 4-2 in Gainesville. Oklahoma State run-ruled Arizona in Stillwater. All of these were Game Ones. Stanford was supposed to be playing LSU in Palo Alto, but I don't have a result for that game.

UCLA beat Georgia in L.A., punching its ticket to the WCWS.

OU beat Florida State in Norman, punching its ticket to the WCWS, which will be held in Oklahoma City, giving OU and (presumably) oSu an unfair advantage.

See? Doesn't it feel so much better when you just embrace it?

Horns struggled with the ags in Austin. TAMU was probably seeded too low, but I don't think it bodes well for UT's chances in the WCWS. If they DO make it to the end, I don't see Texas beating OU twice, in front of their unfairly advantaged home crowd.
