I think Texas believes in its #2 and #3 pitchers more than Tech believes in theirs. Tech has some really weird schemes to moderate the workload on Cannady. Clearly Kavan is Texas #1, and we know she won't be dominant three days in a row.

Softball is goofy like that. The Texas hitters seem to find their nerve exactly when required.
Yeah last year Tech tried to over-use Cannady and the Texas hitters finally got to her and smacked her around pretty good in game 3.  She gave up 5 earned runs on 5 hits in the 1st and they yanked her.

So tonight it begins, a rematch from last year's WCWS.

This Texas team seems to love putting itself in a hole, and then clawing out of it, so if I had to guess I'd say the Horns will lose game 1, and then come back and win game 2 in dramatic fashion.  Game 3, who knows?


Quite happy to be wrong about that one.

We'll see how the pitching strategies play out in game 2.

I've never looked at the WCWS bracket before.  It looks like the loser of the initial winner's bracket gets sent to the loser's bracket of the other four-team pool.  How weird.

Yeah they do a switcheroo.  I guess it makes things a little more interesting so you're not just constantly seeing the same 4 teams play each other over and over.

Interesting thing that, because Texas lost in the first game, they were able to go on to be the team to deliver the death blow and eliminate 4 teams total.  That's the max number of teams you can eliminate in one CWS.

And it was a fun group of teams to eliminate, also.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the super against Oregon.  It doesn't start til Saturday so I'll be able to catch the Saturday and Sunday games.  If it goes to Monday I'll have to miss it due to my son's Boy Scout meeting.

Chances for thunderstorms tomorrow so we'll see how that works out.

Thinking I might cut on Sling Orange for a month so we can catch UT from here on.  Mrs. DeLonghorn will enjoy that.  Will be kind of a bummer if they don't advance to the CWS.  

Super lame that I didn't cut on tv for any of the 2023 or 2025 post-season.  I kept up with us pretty well in detailed recaps and youtube highlights, though.

Also, I love that you call Moo State "Clanga" now.  I'm pretty that rubbed off on you from me, because I don't think you said that when we first met.  I feel like I'm making a difference in the world, because everybody should call those annoying, cow-bell toting misfits "Clanga."

Oh you definitely taught me that and that was for your benefit.

I normally call them "cowbell" but for you, they're clanga.

Well, "Mississippi State" is just too long to say or type. Calling them the "Bulldogs" narrows it down to like 22 teams.

It also puts Texas fans in mind of the time when we, also, had cowbells in the stadium. The stadium was at like 72,000 capacity then. One wonders what 105,000 partisans, not quite obeying the "don't ring it during the snap" rule, might sound like. If special permission is required, well, conferences tend to do what we ask.
