The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

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.

BOOM

Softball national champs once again.  What a postseason for the Lady Longhorns.  Total badasses.

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.

Clanga
The sometimes rival Huskers who hate us dearly
the fake UT
And little brother from the dusty plains of west Texas

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.

One of the away games I went to was @ Starkville one year.  It was pre-expansion, like a big high school stadium.  They needed those cowbells so it wouldn't be mistaken for a library. 

*edit - looking it up, it was 41,000 when I visited.  It was just both sidelines and one upper deck.  I'd never been to anywhere smaller than the Gator Bowl (70K-ish) before then.  Between the Swamp and my high school stadium, it was closer to my HS stadium.  
Went to Brice-Williams, Neyland, Tiger, Citrus Bowl, and Tampa.  So yeah, it was tiny.
